WOODWORKS: ADVANCED PROJECT 2005-2006 DESKTOP CLOCK This clock holds a secret chamber under the lid, and its construction involves a few secrets as well. The case is made from 1/2-thick cherry plywood, which isn’t available at most lumberyards. You can simply make your own by gluing together two pieces of 1/4 cherry plywood. Another secret to building this clock is to glue the moldings to the plywood case material first and then miter the parts on the table saw as a single piece. It simplifies the building and sure beats mitering all the moldings individually. Advanced woodworkers will be challenged to execute this project neatly and precisely. You’ll be doing a lot of router work to make the moldings and some precision rabbetting, dadoing and mitering to put all the pieces together. After it’s assembled, you’ll learn more about applying and using stains and finishes to protect the wood and keep it looking beautiful. –1– CONTINUED - WOODWORKS: ADVANCED PROJECT 2005-2006 DESKTOP CLOCK TOOLS REQUIRED SHOPPING LIST Hand Tools Miscellaneous Item Quantity – Backsaw – Pencil 1/4 cherry-veneer plywood 16 x 32 sheet; grain should – Miter box – Safety glasses run across the short dimension. – Spring clamps – Carpenter’s glue 3/4 cherry 3 wide by 32 long, 1 pc. – Toggle clamps – Masking tape 3/4 x 6 x 48, 1 pc. – 120-, 150- and 220-grit Battery-powere
