Le
modèle chantourné de l'horloge-soleil est le résultat de ma
deuxième tentative de conception
d'une horloge qui pourrait être faite avec une scie à chantourner mais qui, en même
temps, devrait être très originale.
Dans cette section je vous montre plusieurs d'images au format pic de l'horloge-soleil
ainsi que d'autres pics pris pendant sa construction. Ces images n'ont pas pour but
d'être exhaustives ni même de servir de guide d'instruction, justes des commentaires
qui peuvent être intéressants.
This pattern is for very
advanced scrollers and you should only try to make it if
you have already completed other simpler projects
successfully.

The back of this
clock is exactly the same as the front, thus by decorating the
two sides in different ways the Sun Clock is actually two clocks
in one. |
 |
 |
Many pieces of
the clock are repeated, so we stack cut as much as we can, in
this case up to six pieces. We glue the stacked pieces together
with a few drops of glue in the border. When we finish scrolling
them the pieces come out separate by themselves. |
 |
We mount the
clock in sections, the base, the center and the top separately,
but always gluing them encased in their final position, so that
they will fit properly when we put the sections together. For
this purpose se use clamps when necessary to force the pieces
into the correct position, or if the wood is not completely
flat. |
 |
Once the sections
are mounted we have finished them with a sealer and several
coats of sprayed glossy polyurethane. We then choose linens
whose texture and color produce staring effects behind the
fretwork pieces. This will depend on the type of wood, the
finish and of course personal taste. |
 |
 |
To cover the
interior of the fretworked pieces with a contrasting linen, felt
in this case, we glue the linen in scrap pieces of wood of the
necessary size, then we just glue these pieces inside the clock.
Once this is done we finish by putting together the three
sections. A few pictures showing details of the clock follow. |

 |
The base of the clock
contains a repeated gothic design and four Grotesques, one on the
left and one on the right. Grotesques are ugly or distorted faces
used in classical ornamentation. This one is based upon a roman
design. |
 |
 |
The central
section is formed by a fretworked column surrounded by a forest
guarded by several winged mythological creatures. |
 |
The upper section is formed by the clock inserted in the sun.
The sun is surrounded by a fence formed with the same plants and
flowers as in the second section. |
