I know I'm going out on a limb a bit, but I'm requesting to see if there is a club member(s) that can help me. Years ago, my dad bought the plans for a grandfather clock along with a substantial amount of walnut lumber and all the necessary clockworks. However, he never got around to building it. Before he passed away 2 years ago, he asked me if I would build it for him.
My problem is that although I have a decent amount of woodworking experience, I've never built anything from a set of plans. I've gotten started on the clock, but there are details and information on the plans that I don't understand. The plans are 9 pages and the pages are 2' x 3'. There's a LOT of details. Is there a club member(s) that would graciously be able to help me work through some of the plans that I don't understand?
I want to honor my dad by getting this completed in a skillful way, and any help would be very much appreciated!! I've attached a sample of a couple pages of the plans so you can see what's involved. I'm located in Rushville, and my number is 317-650-5312. Thank you! ~ Dan Cline
