The Complete Guide to Making Wooden Clocks: Traditional, Shaker & Contemporary Designs

Summary: Basic history overview with even more basic plans
Review: I enjoyed the first section of the book with a nice historical overview of clocks. From there it was disappointing. If you are a complete beginner with no creativity you may find this helpful, but as an intermediate woodworker I felt most of these could be re-created from a simple photo without a need for critical dimensions. As well, most of these "clock" plans were simple wood sculptures...with a hole for a $10 clock insert. I think there is only one tall clock in the book and one Shaker style wall clock. If you're a complete beginner, take a look. If you're looking for more ideas to improve your basic or intermediate skills, keep looking.

Summary: Not happy
Review: If your looking for clock case plans you may like this book. If your looking for plans to build a wooden clock movement, this isn't the book. I feel the title is misleading,
