Updated Website

Today I have uploaded a new version of my website http://www.hand-made-clock-cases.co.uk/ which contains several new things:

1. Filtering on clock pages - you can now filter by wood / price bracket / availability / type.

2. Some idea of Availability has been added - but please note that due to enquiries from various people / galleries / exhibitions, it isn't possible to include live stock status, stock levels are a week old.   It is also now possible to sort by price.

3. On right hand of site, ability to view clocks by where the timber came from - English, etc., and by type of wood - e.g. Oak.  This brings more emphasis on clocks which are made from local or not timber.

4. Various new clocks added to site.

5. Some indication of where the timber came from on clocks.

Todo - at some point I will be adding some indication on the Mechanical clock prices, where possible.   These are more difficult to quantify as the requirements can be wider with different types of mechanisms, but I will try to see what I can put on the site.

New Arts and Crafts, Macktintosh inspired, clocks

I'm pleased to announce 4 new table mounted clocks, inspired on ideas from Mackintosh and the Arts and Crafts movement.

They are all made from locally sourced Quarter Sawn Oak - the timber comes from the National Trust's Ashridge Estate (about 15 miles from my workshop) and has all been air dried by myself.  The detailing is English Walnut, from a tree that came down a few miles from my workshop and which has been air dried by myself.

All cases were entirely hand made by myself.  The photos show the battery operated versions, although mechanically operated ones can be made (modifications may need to be made to some dimensions).

All these clocks have hands which were hand made by myself, from solid clock maker's brass.

I will be continuing to develop this set of designs - I have some more complex designs under my hat, these will develop over time.

More details appear on my website, on http://www.hand-made-clock-cases.co.uk/clocks/arts_crafts_influenced_clocks/

If you have any questions or would like to buy of these, then do let me know.

New Gallery - Obsidian Art

I'm pleased to say that Obsidian Art, in Buckinghamshire, are now stocking some of my clocks.  They currently have some of my wall clocks - all from English, locally grown timbers.  They have some English Walnut clocks (from tree grown locally, and air dried myself), and some oak clocks with timber from the National Trust's Ashridge Estate - about 15 miles from my workshop.
