In episode 1 paul sellers gives a brief overview of clock series and shows sketches of the project.
Paul selles wall clock.
The next part in the process is to form the grooves in the two cross rails.
The grooves therefore remain 3 8 wide and are cut to the same 5 16 depth.
This was once performed traditionally using a special plane called a panel raising plane.
Making the wall clock.
Making the wall clock 5 by paul sellers 16 december 2012 with the main body of the clock superstructure completed we can now form the raised panel and fit it to the grooves.
To make the clock you will need a few hand tools a workbench of some kind and a vise to hold your material as you work.
These rails receive the raised panel and line up with the grooves in the side pieces.
These grooves are situated exactly in the centre of the rails and so the fence is set at 1 4 from either face of the rails.
