Wow! I don't know what took so long, but I have worked on this clock longer than any other clock, but I feel all the hard work was worth it.

BUILDING THE WALL CLOCK

2008-09-17T06:28:00.000-07:00

I have been busy building the frame. I still have more to do, lighting, some trim work, and plugs for the screw holes.
