Vaughn and Stuart. All the parts for the clock were made on the lathe.
The sycamore blank was 820mmx50mm. First it was put between center's
and trued up on the side and one face a tenon is then turned on the trued face and fitted into the chuck the other face is then trued up. Measure in 19mm from edge on the face side and start to part in with 1/4ins parting tool, this should leave a 6mm ring. When 3/4s of the way through shape the outside of this ring with a bevel. Now part in from the side 25mm from the front face to give a ring 6mm by 19mm before going right through bevel top edge of ring then sand from 120 to 240 grit and sanding seal. Complete part off but mind and catch the ring ( I did not catch mine in time
) this caused the design to be altered to a cradle. After doing ring true up side, mark front with 140mm and 145mm. On the 140 mm mark use gouge or parting tool to go in 3/4 way now go too 145mm mark and using parting tool go in 13mm sand edge just made. Using parting tool part of clock body.
Using 146mm jam chuck reverse blank to complete turning. Thin blank to 38mm, clean 140mm hole with gouge and sand. Another small recess is needed at 154mm going 2mm deep. Now complete bevel shape for the outside of clock.
Base is 150mmx70mmx30mm with a hole drilled through for a screw chuck a gentle curve is made on the top and then it is turned over to do the bottom sand and finish base with sanding sealer and soft wax.
Line up ring and clock body to leave 6mm gap then mark for the 6mm holes to be drilled. Pegs are made from a 150mmx19mmx19mm shaft is made 6mm and the rest of the design is ball and seat. A seat for the cradle is made in the base with a chisel. All parts are then waxed and then the clock is assembled. Ca glue was used to glue the pegs, and 2 no 4 screws 13mm long to hold the cradle to the base along with wood glue.
Sorry I don't have pictures and that this is long winded.
