I sit at my kitchen table looking at a clock you made mate & it’s still something I appreciate & cherish heaps. Great to see a real UA-cam woodworking legend like you still with integrity rather than the falsehood sellouts creating pallet wood builds & stating ridiculous sales prices they make & or giving folks instructions on how to make money 🧐 Keep on being the honest Woodworker you are mate 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍👍 Ps keep on making the best Aussie content 👍👍👍
Thanks very much Dirk, glad you love the clock. Unfortunately what you say about whats happening at the moment is true. YTers are sacrificing creativity and integrity just to chase trends and the algorithm. Its hurting genuine craftsmen. Thanks for the support mate.
@sumo’s Project, I am really surprised that a comment like this comes from someone who has a UA-cam channel and encourages people to better themselves and there craft. I have watched all your videos on UA-cam where you encourage woodworkers to get out and have a go and if you haven’t got something nice to say better to say nothing at all. I see only envy and spite in such a comment that speaks volumes, also such a comment may turn people away from your UA-cam channel if this if the way you choose to have a backhanded slap at a woodworker advancing themselves in the YT world. Very disappointing that you would say this Dirk. We need to encourage all Australian woodworkers whether they are on YT, Instagram, Facebook or other platforms and if they are getting success in their channel and getting more views than others so be it……. But comments like yours is unwarranted and I for one who enjoy M2C1 will turn off…. Green is not your colour. Vic, I apologise for this rant on your great video about your clock and as it’s your page you can delete it if you wish.
@@Nedswoodworks Hi Dave, thanks for taking the time to comment. In all fairness I won't be deleting any comments, you are entitled to have your say just like Dirk is but to say his is based on envy is incorrect. I have had many conversations with Dirk over what's happening with YT and the frustration is based on many things but not envy. Dave, no apology necessary, I've appreciated your comments and support over the years just like I do all my viewers and will continue to do so but I hope we can leave this conversation here. Thanks again mate.
@@Nedswoodworks Hi David, it’s a pity that you don’t accept two sides of the coin where an opinion can be expressed freely.

@sumo’s Projects, well I won’t be unsubscribing or unfollowing you or unfriending you as I do enjoy your channel. I will keep watching what I like to watch and if people are buying items for the dollars stated then so be it. I watch for the build and try to learn as I’m not as talented as you or been around as long so every bit helps, from making an extension table to a palletwood workbench it’s all learning. If I can learn something and build it to sell it, I would be rather happy so watching others on the how to is beneficial to me and I assume others. I would not dare lecture you about community and teaching skills on YT as you say your been around a lot longer and I am just another person with an opinion and they my friend are like arseholes, everyone’s got one. There’s obviously more to the story but I will leave it there mate. Cheers 🍻 stay well.
Love the clock build and the bees wax hand moisturizer for an added benefit for the woodworker. Thank you for sharing. Everyone stay safe, warm, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
Thank you for the build video. So many YTers are doing tool reviews, top 10 woodworking tools, & tips and tricks. It gets old especially when most people want to see quality build videos! Small or big, just someone building something and sharing the process is fantastic! Thank you! Great job!
Thank you very much Tony and I totally agree with you. Way too many YTers are sacrificing creativity and integrity just to chase trends and the algorithm. Its hurting genuine craftsmen and part of the reason why i haven't posted for a while.
A beautiful, and beautifully simple, build! Your clocks are gorgeous. Just as an aside, I also appreciated the shot at the beginning showing your ponytail--what a glorious mane! I'd kill for that kind of hair LOL.
Very hansom looking time pieces. A very relaxing and enjoyable video. I've made a few in my time. I have a couple of 'movements', hidden in a drawer. Time, I did something with them. Thanks Victor.
i loved that time lapse effect at the beginning Vic, you must have been moving very slowly to make that shot haha. I have a few clock movements ready to go but wish i had more of the Japanese made ones. Your tools and process was not that different back 7 years ago and i bet both builds were equally enjoyable. Drill bits seemed a bit sharper back then perhaps? Cool jigs too, I will remember them for when I use brass rod again.
Thanks mate. I spent a bit of time on those two opening scenes and you're the only person that's commented about it, so for that, thanks very much. The clock movements i use are Takane brand, they're made in USA and are top quality.
@@DownUnderWoodWorks So cool, yeah from one videographer to another, i can really appreciate the time you put into the video. No pun intended this time.
This is a great example how in a workshop everything can change but nothing changes. Put them side by side and the laymen probably can't see the difference, but for the maker there is a world of difference. Lovely stuff mate.
Thanks James. It’s was an interesting process to make these again after so many years. So much of the process was still the same and then there was the jointer and thicknesser for milling the wood which was way better than how I did it the first time. Also back then I only ever used poly as a finish.
Very well done. Simple but elegant. Excellent choice of wood. The brass for the hour marks is very nice. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
I really enjoyed this one. My missus likes a nice cross-stitch pattern, so we have a few clocks around the house with cross-stitch faces, including one with a handmade deep frame from my early years in hobby woodworking. Happy Easter from Adelaide.
Thanks Anthony. I bought the detector from Hameroo which is on sale at the moment hammerroo.com.au/products/metal-detector?_pos=1&_sid=95e9c47dc&_ss=r but its available from other suppliers such as www.carbatec.com.au/metal-detector-with-carry-bag?SearchID=12221094&SearchPos=1&SearchID=12221094&SearchPos=1
Hey Mate! It has been awhile since your last video. Glad you found the time for this one! 😂😂 As always, I enjoy your videos. I have made a few clocks myself but have been disappointed with the time mechanisms. Where do you get yours and do you find they work well? Have a great Easter.
Thanks Mark. Unfortunately it wasn't a matter of time that's kept me away. What's been happening with UA-cam lately has left me disillusioned and demotivated to post new videos but all the great comments, yours included, really do help a lot. There are a lot of cheap and nasty mechanisms out there. I only use 'Takane' brand, i think they're made in USA. Just google suppliers that sell them, here in Sydney I found 'Timberbits' sells them but these days with everything online shopping you should find a few.
@@DownUnderWoodWorks Thanks Buddy! I will look into those. I hear a lot of other UA-camrs complaining as well. Hope they can get their act together so we can enjoy more of you terrific videos!
Those things are timeless (no pun :) One of the best clocks I ever saw was one with all the numbers all jumbled up at the bottom with a caption "Ah who cares . . ."
It sure is mate. When i was editing and scripting the video of that i was going to give an explanation about angular speed versus linear speed of a spinning disc but decided against it because i thought i might lose a few viewers. 😂
Beautiful peices there Vic they look sweet as. Got some nice looking off cuts lying around couple nice chunky blocks of walnut may have to give this a try. What would u expect to get for these selling price wise?? 🏴👍
Thank you very much Michael. I don't sell anything i make so i can't advise on how much i think they would sell for. Theoretically if i were to try and sell them i would probably pick a random price that i think people would pay. Sorry mate, not very helpful
Thanks very much Dave, it sure is mate. I reckon we have the hardest woods here, the old reclaimed ones anyway. Clock mechanisms are readily available on eBay and the other usual places but I think there are a lot of cheap unbranded ones out there. I only use 'Takane' brand which are made in USA and they're not expensive. There's a local supplier here in Sydney 'Timberbits' where I got these ones but if you google the brand name you should find other suppliers.
Thanks for this one Victor. I don't have the big tools, but this looks like something I could tackle anyway. Watching the original video was cool too. I was going to ask where you got the mechanisms but see you've already answered that. Cheers.
Thank you. The clock movements and hands are available from many online places like eBay and Amazon depending where you are. Dedicated woodworking stores will also carry them. I particularly like the Takane brand and I bought mine from www.Timberbits.com.au here in Australia
Hey Vic, Hopa you are well mate ....... I see the SB 20 is doing well still ..lol. Yeah made a few clocks myself mate, and yes most mellinials have no Idea :P BTW ya need a small hook with a snall tin under it to catch the offcuts man :P. Ohh and instead of buying the polish, go to Woolies and grab some baby oil (Mineral Oil with some smellies in it is all that is) and down to your local bee keeper and buy a big block of beeswax, heat it up to a 3 (oil) to 1 (Beeswax) ratio, let cool and see if it matches your polish consistancy. if not heat and add more Wax or oil :) its called butchers butter. It is what i have always used on my cutting boards as Minteral oil is a nutral oil
Hey mate, thanks for the comment. I actually have some beeswax already waiting to try my own finish but will probably wait until I use up what I have. Cheers Ben
I don't know John as i've never tried it. I would imagine that it might 'antique' the brass but i use it specifically to get those shiny dots as the hour markers.
Thanks for that Rob. Just curious then, is yellow box called that because of its colour because the colour of that board when i run it over the jointer definitely has a yellow tone
@@DownUnderWoodWorks probably mate and when you get the red box its very orange and red but bother are very hard woods, I have a friend cabinet maker who has just built a table from the rafters of an old one hundred year old shed and it was all yellow box and the colour was outstanding
Thanks Colin, and thanks for your concern. I don't know your level of knowledge, skill and experience in woodworking and using machines but i have been doing it for a very long time. I think, sometimes, comments like that are from those who don't really know. I do know. I'm not in any more danger because i am not going to get my hands closer to moving parts with gloves on than i would without them. If you've watched many of my videos you will see that i only wear the gloves when handling reclaimed old aussie hardwood before and during the milling process then they come off. Those who do or have worked with this timber know how many splinters you can get and those splinters are literally like needles and spend days digging them out. Not nice. Thanks again mate

Simplicity at its finest. And they look a million bucks. So now I have to go and start raiding the old fencing piles. Love your work. 👍🍺👍

You are absolutely right. Just realised that the last week or so all I have seen are reviews. Love these beautiful builds.

Haha, thank you Karen, I suppose it doesn't get shown a lot in my videos. Im very glad you love the clocks too. Thank you
Very stunning clocks mate. Definitely enjoyed the video 👍🏽👌🏅😉
Thanks mate, glad you like them
I could have sworn I'd seen these somewhere, and of course I find out at the end where I know them from 😆 Great design mate, they look schmick!
Thanks very much Mario. It would be interesting to know how many of today's viewers have watched that old video before this one.
@@DownUnderWoodWorks Well I can confirm at least one.
Nice looking project. Would make great gifts or craft stall items. Nice change in video style, with a well paced voice over.
Thank you very much mate. These would make a great stall item but i give them away as gifts.
Very hansom looking time pieces. A very relaxing and enjoyable video. I've made a few in my time. I have a couple of 'movements', hidden in a drawer. Time, I did something with them. Thanks Victor.

Sehr gute handwerkliche Arbeit.
Vielen Dank für die Inspiration.

Thanks very much mate
Beautiful work mate. I'm not convinced it's iron bark.
Thank you very much Tim. Iron bark was only a guess because i really have no idea
Beautiful and simple. This has gone on my 'must build' list. Vic, can you tell me about your metal detector? I definitely should invest in one!

You're welcome mate. The reason for pointing people to the older video was exactly that, to show that you don't need fancy tools to make them. Cheers.

What happens if you wet the brass with some vinegar or citric acid?
I don't know John as i've never tried it. I would imagine that it might 'antique' the brass but i use it specifically to get those shiny dots as the hour markers.
Hardwood. Need I say more?
No, not really mate. There's nothing like it really, especially reclaimed old Aussie hardwoods.
mmmmmm could be yellow box as it was commonly used for fencing
