5.0 out of 5 stars Daniele does it right, November 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Build 35 Great Clocks: Complete with Working Plans, Drawings, and Instructions (Paperback)

Mr. Daniele has a reputation as a true craftsman and historian, he wrote for Early American Life in addition to all those books. This book includes patterns for the beginner as well as the more experienced wood worker. Interesting comments on design throughout. I have all of Daniele's books, his knowledge as a teacher and historian make each a delight to work with, I use them extensively in my classroom.

1.0 out of 5 stars Should've been called "How to Build 35 Great Clock Cabinets", October 25, 2002

Vinny V. "anton989" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Build 35 Great Clocks: Complete with Working Plans, Drawings, and Instructions (Paperback)

Maybe I'm crazy, but I've always considered a clock to be the inner workings - springs, pendulums, and such. This book doesn't tell you how to build those - it is merely a woodworking book that talks about the design of the cabinets that house clocks. Not for a horologist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellant book, none better!, November 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Build 35 Great Clocks: Complete with Working Plans, Drawings, and Instructions (Paperback)

Offers the inexperienced woodworker simple designs with more advanced designs for the experienced woodworker. Especially interesting for those who admire the American colonial period.
