Freestanding Fretwork Clock - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Rick Wood · 09-10-2011, 02:20 PM

Hi, this is my first attempt of fretwork. I love those victorian patterns and so I selected this freestanding fretwork clock pattern from SSWC.
I don't have the place to stand a machine so I did the whole work manual using a fretsaw. Came out pretty well anyway I think .
Any critics welcome

Richard, Welcome to the Forum! That is a beautiful clock you have cut. And without a scroll saw? Amazing!

Very nice! I don't think I would have the patience to try that with a hand saw.

That is very fine work! Thanks for sharing.

You have the right last name. Very nice work, and with a hand saw yet.

Beautiful hand saw cutting.

Thanks friends for your kind words and compliments !
Well it was my first project and so a great challenge, took me about 5 hours to finish.
But the result was worth the efforts.

Thanks

Richard
