A few years back, my brother's wife tragically was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor and passed away after a few months of struggle. When they were first married, I made what could be considered my first woodworking project. I was living in an apartment and had no tools, so it was pretty limited, but I made a rudimentary wood base, and with a trumpet and some lamp parts turned it into a trumpet lamp. It was touch sensitive so you could touch any part of the trumpet to turn on the light.
Well this past weekend he got remarried, and I wanted to do something to commemorate it even though it was a "no gifts" wedding .I eventually came up with a clock. I did it in mission style, out of quarter sawn oak, a maple clock face, and walnut accents. I found a nice electronic chiming mechanism that actually sounds realistic and based it around that. The design was my own, with heavy inspiration from pics online.
