More work on the Worthington clocks

Cutting out the upper back of the Worthington clock
Today I continued cutting on the back top of the 'Worthington' clocks. The parts are being stack cut out two at a time. You have to cut a little slower when stack cutting but overall it saves time compared to cutting them out one at a time

Finished Cutting


Here the the cutting is finished and the pattern has to be pealed off of the wood. This is especially hard if the pattern has been applied and then the part sits around for several months before its cut out.

After the pattern is pulled/scraped/etc off of the part, the part is sanded.


Pulling the pattern off of the finished part
An orbital sander with fine paper is used to finish up the part. It doesn't take to much sanding to get the job done. You have to be careful not to sand too much off and get into the next ply.
