The Ascent Clock


The Serpentine Clock - shown with and without the dial.

Retired Swedish naval doctor Carl Ebeling personalized his Ascent with a Royal Swedish Naval emblem (see the cogs on the hubs of the hands) and the crest of the Naval Base of Gothenburg (top of frame). Also, note the gold plating on the hands and dial markers. Read a note from Carl here.

Flávio Machado writes, "Your projects are very easy to make and provide great incentive for those who may find it difficult to start with this kind of craftsmanship. I liked so much your Ascent project that I decided to make it slightly different – an Art Noveau version in acrylic."

Very creative, Flávio!

Pascal Paulhe chose a unique color for his Ascent clock.

Jim Riggsbee added some real nice decorative and functional touches. Notice the fancier hands, custom pendulum bob, and 'gridiron' pendulum. Jim's weight shell also has a raised panel effect similar to that seen on the bob.

Bob Harring put the movement from our Ascent kit into his own custom frame to create this marvelous floor clock. Bob also repositioned the middle arbor and substituted his a brass weight shell and a customized pendulum bob.

Richard Pinover created this special clock as an anniversary present for his wife. The frame consists of a gorgeous piece of figured Maple.

Can you guess the Pinover's song? Read around the dial--"As Time Goes By". How clever and fitting is that?

Also, note the customized weight shell and the pendulum bob with inscribed brass plate.

What a beautiful, personalized gift!!

John Van der Pyl needed a clock to compliment his Hawaiian landscape. He fit his Ascent clock with a seashell-adorned dial and a seashell pendulum bob. He also turned his own circular weight shell.

Most of our customers choose a light frame with dark gears. Thomas Withington shows that a dark frame can be every bit as striking. His color scheme really makes the hands and dial markings pop!

Roger Maylor kept the basic form of the Ascent, but added his own special touches including a solid frame, turned pillars, and custom dial. Note also how Roger turned his own pendulum bob and weight shell. What a beauty!

Scott Thibodeau scrolled the Ascent as his first scroll saw project--very ambitious! Scott also customized his Ascent by adding numbers to both dials.

Steve Jolley's first scroll saw project was the Serpentine clock. He followed up immediately with his second scroll saw project - the Ascent! Steve kept going with a third clock, customizing the Ascent dials. Nice job, Steve.

Edward Kimble incorporated a real nice addition to the Serpentine by adding a seconds dial to match the hour/minute dial. Also note the use of dark stain for the pendulum to contrast the weight system.

An accent for the Ascent . . . Oronzo Dalfino cut his Ascent clock and then built a custom frame to surround it. He also turned his own cylindrical weight shell and rewind pull to further add his custom touch to the clock.

After making his first Ascent clock 'by the book', Jack cut a second clock with a few of his own creative modifications. He reversed the color scheme, using dark frame with light gears and added a custom seconds dial. Also, instead of drilling arbor holes in the frame, he designed adjustable 'pillow blocks' to accept the arbors (two of these are visible in the photo at far right).

Demetris Papakyriacou from Cyprus was another first-time scroller. As his first scrollsaw project, he made this customized Serpentine from plexiglass. He included several design alterations as well.

Next, Demetris used the Serpentine gear train and built a cornered clock. Have you ever seen anything like this?! Wow!
