David, you are absolutely right, that IS the future plan, My hopefully future daughter in law insists they get a grandfather clock for a wedding gift (I told her they cannot get married for 10 more years) but she doesnt want any old clock, she is very persistent on it being one I have made from scratch, movement and case…..How exciting is that…I may be old, bald and fat by then 😯 …..it also explains my desire to figure out machinery and machining techniques, still thinking though on how to accomplish all this and will have many future questions 🙄 , (please be patient with me)
