Back to work...

Wow...  It really has been 4 months since I've updated this.  With my mother's passing, things were disrupted and it took me longer than I expected to get back into the mood to do hobby stuff.

Anyone, today I actually worked on the clock.  When I last did work, I was working on the corner posts.  I had messed up on one of the pieces and had to remake it.  So today in addition to other work on the forge, I got to work on the clock for a bit.  I finished up some filing and straightening on the piece and it is caught up now with the other three pieces.

I am going to set a goal for myself that tomorrow I at the very least should get all of the holes punched on the posts.  If I can do that, I will feel like I've made real progress.

Here is a picture of the 4 pieces.  The one of the left is the one I worked on today.  Notice a bit of surface rust on the pieces.  It is there to remind me that I've been away too long.
