today i laid out the locations for the clock inserts, and rounded off the tops. then it was on to making the bases, and the side supports. just for the fun of it, decided to put one of them together, and changed the height of the clock in the supports to something that looks a bit better to me.

got a bit more done last night. made a quick and dirty assembly jig, and glued them all up, and hit them with the boiled linseed oil. now it is just sanding sealer, shellac, and was, and they will be ready to send out.
