He polled everyone in the school to see if anyone had friends, relatives, or acquaintances from ND and came up dry. Maybe someone else embraces the same theory??!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702992912065040751.post-77558388910420726832008-09-08T16:28:00.000-04:002008-09-08T16:28:00.000-04:00OH MY GOSH....

With the exception of planing the rough lumber and squaring the stock it is built entirely with hand tools. Also the door frame is mortise and tenon.<BR/><BR/>Since it isn't glued yet, I will break it down and shoot some pictures this afternoon and make an actual blog post to show how it is constructed. FYI...these are regular M&T's as opposed to through tenons.Jeff Skiverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05193511181361305951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702992912065040751.post-28201150142381594602008-09-08T16:22:00.000-04:002008-09-08T16:22:00.000-04:00I just noticed the door on your shaker clock. Are...I just noticed the door on your shaker clock. Are you using the plans from Woodcraft to build it? I'm just asking because I thought one of the most difficult joints to make on that project was the through tennons on the doors. I spent a lot of time getting those right and was pretty proud of them when I did. When I was at Woodcraft, buying the mechanism and face for the fourth clock I made, I decided to check out their sample clock to see how theirs looked. Guess what... the doors were half-lapped together. I felt cheated. And now, I look at your door, and I don't see the through tennons. Did I do all that extra work for nothing!!!??? On FOUR clocks for a total of EIGHT doors for a grand total THIRTY-TWO through tennons??!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
