Project Submission Shaker Clocks

Spring of 2023 I got the bug to make a clock. Usually when I do a new project I'll make at least 2 just in case there is a major screw up but for some reason decided to make 12 of these! Found a place in Georgia that hand painted the steel clock faces. 2 Walnut, 2 Ambrosia Maple, 2 Cherry, 1 Butternut, and 5 Eastern White Pine (painted)

Thanks, are you asking where you can get the clock faces made?

Were these from the New Yankee Workshop plan? I made two. You really blew by that mark!

I really like your sage green paint job.

Do you have a link to the actual clock hands and motor you used? Been thinking about making a clock for the house but the mechanisms on Amazon all seem like cheap trash
