Scrollsaw Cuckoo Clock

Recommended Posts

Just started cutting this clock. I'm posting pics as I go to give me inspiration as well as motivation. Its not going as fast as other things I've done but it'll get there.  For now it''ll have a quartz movement  as I already have them sitting in a drawer soemwhere. When I see the dimensions of the finished product I'll see if I can squeeze a real cuckoo clock movement in the next generation if I'm still into watches and clocks by then.

I am tempted Greg, just got to re-arrange the fitting of the saw to the lathe and I’m away. 

Then again I could use the one down the shed. 

It's not hard and you can cut up to 3/4" thick material. If u want details pm me

I finished cutting the body, the roof, the sides and the pieces for the pendulum. Whats left are the 2 support blocks,  bottom plate and the back. I started sanding and filing the pieces so maybe I could be staining the pieces soon and then assembling it.  When I get to the staining part is when I get excited as I know its almost done and I'm in the final straights. 

Wondering now what is the size of a normal cuckoo clock movement and how many rods it would have. Anyone have info for that?
