Making Gear Facings (Hubcaps)
On my first clock I added a thin wood facing disk to each side of the gears. I added stripes to make it look fancy . I liked the look of that so here we go again.
Basically this involves gluing together ~1" boards of alternating black walnut and red oak and then cutting off 1/4" (5mm) slices from which to cut two disks for each wheel (8 disks total for the two clocks).
It's a bit more complicated than that due to the limitations of my equipment.
