A Shelf-clock
A quaint clock is shown in Fig. 8, and it is quite as simple to construct as it is in appearance.
It is fourteen inches wide, twelve inches high, and four and a half inches in depth. A six-inch dial and glass are mounted on the front, and in the bottom of the movement-box a narrow slot is cut to accommodate the swing of the pendulum-rod.
Fig. 8. Fig. 9. Fig. 10.
White-wood boards three-eighths of an inch in thickness are fastened to corner-posts, having the two upper sides cut away as shown in Fig. 9. Laps are cut at the lower end of each corner-post into which the rail fits, as also shown in Fig. 9.
The same general description given for the other cases applies to this one, and after the ornament is stained and lined the surface of the wood may be lightly lined from top to bottom with the pyrographic-point.
An Old-style Timepiece
A case of old-fashioned design is shown in Fig. 10.
The top measures eight inches square; the waist is five inches wide and twelve inches long; and the base is six inches high and twelve inches long. Two bars are fastened from the top to the base; they pitch at a slight angle.
