4.0 out of 5 stars Advanced Scroll Saw Clocks, January 10, 2000
This review is from: Advanced Scroll Saw Clocks: Measured Drawings for Five Antique Samples (Paperback)
Having built 2 of the 5 clocks shown in the book, I can attest the dimentions are fairly accurate. What I really enjoyed about the clocks was the brief history he gives at the begginning of every clock. It gives you something to think about while you are spending the hours of tedious scroll sawing. I did not find these clocks to be overly difficult to build, but they were complex. I enjoyed the two clocks I built and am planning a third.

5.0 out of 5 stars Some amazing clocks, February 7, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Advanced Scroll Saw Clocks: Measured Drawings for Five Antique Samples (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this one. You won't find a large selection, but the ones he has included are out standing. Be warned, these are not something a beginner could whip up right away, as they are quite detailed. But i think well worth the work in the end.

My only complaint, a small one is that some of the drawings seem a little "dirty", the lines where not as clear.

But if you enjoy some detailed scroll projects, you'll probably like this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad, January 19, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Advanced Scroll Saw Clocks: Measured Drawings for Five Antique Samples (Paperback)
I found this book to be not exactly what I had expected. The clocks are indeed antique, but I personally found them to be not very attractive looking, and I probably wouldn't really take the time to make any of them. Except for maybe 1 that was neat. The patterns appear to be fairly accurate although a bit tough to follow. A good challenge!
