Welcome to the forum Terry,

Great work on the clock. Tell us about how you made the copper face plate. Very nic work. I like your choice of wood.

Beautiful job. You did the face plate, pendulum, and the case? It's exquisite. Can you send more pics of the side and back?

Yes I make the face and pendulum as well. I layout the design on my computer and create a film neg. Then the metal is coated with a negative film photo resist and exposed to a uv light. Next I etch the copper in a etchant. After that the face is planished, patinated and waxed. I use brass and nickle silver as well. The possiblities are endless. I attached some pics of the side and back. Sorry the photos are not the best. I also included a clock with a etched brass face. Thanks for your comments.

The other pics didn't load. Let's try it again.

Thanks R,

I'm going to try to do some enameling on the faces. I think it would really look good. I'll let you know how it goes.
