Grandfather Clock Chainsaw Carving

[gobbypunk]

One of my recent pieces; I wanted to do something a bit different that still had a use and I'd been thinking of making a grandfather clock for a while. I've done a couple of these now - this one's made out of sweet chestnut and was s'posed to be sold but I had one of those annoying customers who ordered it and then rang me on the day he'd arranged to pick it up - his dishwasher had broken and he couldn't afford it anymore. Good job I don't get many customers like that!

Thanks Mark

Lovely craftsmanship there! Need to at least take a 50% deposit before work commences so you're at least covered for some of your time. Also get it all in writing, signed etc before starting a project for someone

[gobbypunk]

Yeah will be from now on thats for sure , I could have done with the cash just had to tax and m o t my van so if anybody wants to buy the clock give me a shout

Cheers Mark

That's great work Mark.

 

Would value that at a lot more than any dishwasher Just the workings must cost a bob or two.

 

As you say good job there are not too many folk like that in this world.

Ive had 2 customers who gave that kind of sob-story. What they dont realise is that on facebook i could see the news of the holiday they had just booked. All part of the game mate.

Liking that Mark. Shame you were messed around but I'm sure it will sell.
