I am consistently impressed by the quality and precision of your parts when you cut multiples by hand. When I do that, they not only look like they were cut by hand, they are also all a little bit different from each other.
Haha amazing, I just came from your latest video. And after watching this masterpiece went to the comments and found you here. Great content, the both of you, and thank you for making my Saturday all the better.
@@Abdelilah_Amraoui Same here 😳! I was wildly surprised to see Mike here as well. I have to say, I have thought about leaving a comment on AS before about this channel, something like - “Hey Mike, have you seen that Australian guy Pask Makes?” But I guess it’s old news.
Neil @ 5:35 : "It doesn't need to be neat as it will never be seen"... then proceeds to make joinery that most of us would be proud to display. As my Granna used to say, "Anything worth doing is worth doing well." 😊👍
On the FOURTH day of Scrapwood week Neil made something neat! Four flipping clocks! Three hinged stools! Two hand-carved bowls! And a snowflake, cut from shavings!
I am absolutely certain I could 3D model the odd tapers in CAD. I'm also absolutely certain I would never have come up with all your brilliant ways of actually achieving then in the real piece. So awesome man, love every video!
@@PaskMakes It's not that difficult. Sketchup has this great "Follow Me" tool for this type of shapes. Just draw the basic shape outline and a cross section and hover the cross section over the outline. A thing of a couple of minutes. But nevertheless a great project and video as always. I love to watch your skills in use. Greetings from Germany
I have done things like that in solidworks, even much more complex, "pretzel" rotations. they're messy, hellish, and crash 5 axis CAM software. seriously. we tried to plug on of the abominations I made into my colleges "serious CAD/CAM" computers and it softlocked. that though- limited cut away rotations. some cut passes. it'd work. i really need to relearn Solidworks...
Lol. Absolutely certain I could have made all the tricky bits, but I would have just never thought of the idea!!! Neil has challenged me to think more creatively since the first video he made. Thanks man.
Oh, that's plexiglass! Until you removed the paper, I thought this was some plywood for the back of the case. Very very nice project! The result is amazing. Yes, it is made for a table, not a wall. 👍🏾
I appreciate that you showed us your mistake with the grooves on the side. I've been hours into a project and realized something was backwards or just wrong, and it felt nice to realize it happens to the greats.
Never unterstand the people who dislike such a great video. That shows that these kind of people have no knowledge about woodworking. Great video, excellent work. You are one of the most inspiring maker on RUclips.
Neil, your "preparing the camphor laurel" routine is almost like a salad at dinner. I know what it is, I know how it's made, I have a pretty good idea of how it's going to taste. There aren't any surprised but I know I'd miss it if it wasn't there :) For the folks that are new to woodworking (I'm so new, I'm still a spectator!) it's good to see those steps. The more seasoned folks can all marvel - again - at how easy you make it look to cut a straight line on that bandsaw.
Instant like for every video. Your videos are essential viewing, and show brilliant artistry all around. Your photography site is amazing too. I'd recommend anyone who watches your videos to visit it.
Another awesome scrapwood challenge. I can hardly keep up this week :) Love the dolly zoom at the end. This time we get a reflection of you doing it, so we can see how you hold the camera and pull focus as you back away. Very cool.
That was awesome. I always enjoy your videos, and I always learn a lot, (and I’ve been building and selling my woodworking projects for many years now). You remind me of Paul Sellers, with your calm, humble and homey personality. You are like the neighbor I wish I had, and would love to hang out with. Anyways, thanks for another awesome video. I wish you a very Merry Christmas, and a fantastic 2021! Peace!✌️
There's a little detail in every one of your videos that teaches me something. I love this about your channel. I wish I had your level of creativity. I look forward to seeing each and every one of your videos.
That's a realy nice clock. Also I like to see how solve the "problems" like getting the corners to a round shape. And I realy appreciate that you also show what didn't work and why.
Possibly my favorite project of yours. I really like everything about the way this turned out and the techniques you used to make it. Seriously awesome!
Really enjoyed this one for some reason. I always admire your ideas and craftsmanship. This one in particular was excellent. I think because of all the easements. It would have been so easy to leave the sides flat, but would have totally changed the finished piece. Brava!
I really like all the curves and angles. They give it that subtle and special something that really makes it interesting to look at. Thanks for sharing!
The wood case is a huge upgrade, but you should be careful cleaning Perspex (or any acrylic). Paper towels can scuff it and glass cleaner can cause it to crack or craze. The best option is to use a plastic polish/cleaner like Novus 1 and a microfiber cloth
I love your videos. Like Frank Howarth, your projects are beyond my skill level / patience. But they're very entertaining. Great respect for your skills and you seem like an awesome guy.
You raised the value of that clock by a factor of ten! The contrast of the cut tapers and the rounded corners looks great. The splines are a neat accent feature. I'm curious where the original clock came from. I haven't seen a flipper clock in years. The one I had plugged into the wall, no batteries. It was also an alarm clock, it had the most disturbing buzzing alarm sound. It was really quite startling when it went off in the morning. That was back in the mid 70's. Edit: Spelling
Dude! This clock looks so good! I love it! Those rounded corners are epic. I'm very impressed at your workmanship and just delighted at the outcome of this. Merry Christmas from Canada, Neil.
Simply gorgeous and such an improvement on the original design! The extra details you included just add to the allure. I have fallen absolutely in love with camphor laurel after watching you work with it in so many projects. The colors and grain figure are so striking! I'm curious though... I can't recall seeing it used by other woodworkers though I was under the impression that it's not an uncommon type of tree in many places. Is there just not much demand for or is it a species that requires some level of experience to work with? Thank you so much for this Scrapwood Challenge series! It's so much more exciting than all the birds and dancing milkmaids in the traditional Christmas song 😉
You can cut the paper on the acrylic sheet with a standard glass cutter. This will allow the you to install the edge of the acrylic into the rabbet. When the project is finished you can remove the rest of the masking.
I really have enjoyed this particular series... but looking forward to more metal work and your regular wood projects as well... can't wait to see your new mill
I have several projects that require similar re-homing of a commercially-made mechanisms/electronics (a barometer and a nixie clock). Thank you for the inspiration!
Just when you wonder if he has come to the end of his ability to blow us out of the water he comes up with another one to prove me wrong. Love the way this one turned out. Beautiful work.
Neil, we seem both to be enjoying rainy weather of late all be “opposite” sides of the southern part of the earth. I would love to be able to meddle with my projects when there is a consistent rain. Very nice work on the clock, must say it was much larger than what I thought it was. Love the BIG digits allows for reading without glasses. 😉😆
These work like the old time tables in European train stations, I think they’re called Split Flap boards but actually Flip Splat would work equally well. Really nice build.
absolutely beautiful! really love your videos. This is one that is possibly just within my skillset to achieve, so might just have a go with a smaller nixie clock I have that needs a housing. Thanks!!
I spent my adolescence in the 60's with one of these as the bedside alarm. It took months to get be able to get to sleep, with the click every time a digit tumbled, though eventually of course it faded into the background. Still, I was glad to get a Sony with LEDs for my first flat, total silence at last. Nice case.
I have always felt it is important for everyone to be allowed an opinion, even if it’s wrong. Check out these numpties who downvoted this video. Clearly they did not get enough love from their mothers when they were on the teat. Excellent work as usual sir.
Now that was a challenge! Wow, Very Classy. A convoluted mind always prevails over that of mediocrity! Thanks Neil, saved this to favorites just to keep my noodle in shape!
Join the Makers Mob for full Month of Live Events happening all throughout January starting on January 7th, 2021 rlnk.cc/paskmakesteachersseries
that is beautiful your Camphor Laural is nicely figured
"It doesn't have to be perfect" but it will be.
If pask is making it, it will be damn good enough
All of his videos lol
I am consistently impressed by the quality and precision of your parts when you cut multiples by hand. When I do that, they not only look like they were cut by hand, they are also all a little bit different from each other.
Mine look like they were cut by different hands. Possibly different people.
Much like your hand cut parts, we're all a bit different from one another. Also like your hand cut parts, that's a wonderful thing :)

You do realise you're gonna have to keep going with this now... We expect a new one every day.
@@snowstrobe No worries, I'm already more than half way.
Thanks for that Zac! :)
@@PaskMakes Well I had fun writing these as I watched. Thanks to you for putting in so much effort on this particular series.
You have such an amazing sense of aesthetics, the clock looks so elegant and beautiful

I was skeptical of the tapers when he started the cuts but dang, they turned out gorgeous! Great vision, phenomenal execution.
You turned a cheap clock into a masterpiece. Absolutely love the quality and ingenuity of your work. Phenomenal

12:21 that was a Subtle gesture
Haha! I did think it looked wrong when editing. ;)
@@PaskMakes it was funny actually
Having spent its former life in dismal and minimalist environs, your clock is now THE HAPPIEST CLOCK IN AUSTRALIA! Nicely done.
... and REALLY unbelievable that you did that in a DAY. Incredible.

great work Neil. Thanks for showing the challenges and how you overcome them. A true craftsman isn't perfect but adapts and overcomes. Brilliant!
Instant like for every video. Your videos are essential viewing, and show brilliant artistry all around. Your photography site is amazing too. I'd recommend anyone who watches your videos to visit it.
With all of your skills and knowledge, I love the way you transform scraps into something beautiful.
The beauty of your projects is that they are 100% handmade. Other channels, although great, present the idea and boom! CNC!
Another awesome scrapwood challenge. I can hardly keep up this week :) Love the dolly zoom at the end. This time we get a reflection of you doing it, so we can see how you hold the camera and pull focus as you back away. Very cool.
That's a beautiful result, and a massive improvement to the clock.
It is always a joy to watch you work.
Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for 2021.
Cheers my friend!!
Such a beautiful re-imagining of this piece.
That flip clock looks like it would fit in perfectly in a mid century modern style house. Great work!
That was awesome. I always enjoy your videos, and I always learn a lot, (and I’ve been building and selling my woodworking projects for many years now). You remind me of Paul Sellers, with your calm, humble and homey personality. You are like the neighbor I wish I had, and would love to hang out with. Anyways, thanks for another awesome video.

It's great seeing a fellow old codger showing the youngsters how it's done! And I agree, your design is far superior! 👍👍
Had no idea, from the IG pics I'd seen, that the clock was SO big! Really lovely!
Never a dull moment when you post a video Neil. Love the clock and the work you put into it is very inspiring. Great video mate
Frankly, I was stunned at how BIG it is. When I saw the original clock, I thought it was about 1/4 of the size it actually is. Good job!
I actually enjoyed the two-pieced corners of it, gave it an aesthetic "buckly" look to it. Good job :)
That's a realy nice clock. Also I like to see how solve the "problems" like getting the corners to a round shape. And I realy appreciate that you also show what didn't work and why.
Wow thats awesome. Turned out superbly. And love the artwork of nick and Jimmy
Possibly my favorite project of yours. I really like everything about the way this turned out and the techniques you used to make it. Seriously awesome!

My man you are truly a man of exquisite tastes, I am loving that portrait of Nick Offerman.
He is cool)
I really like all the curves and angles. They give it that subtle and special something that really makes it interesting to look at. Thanks for sharing!
Amazing work & details as always Neil. That piece turned out great! 👏👍😉
Nice project. You Sir have the patience of an old pine in the forest. Great job.
The wood case is a huge upgrade, but you should be careful cleaning Perspex (or any acrylic). Paper towels can scuff it and glass cleaner can cause it to crack or craze. The best option is to use a plastic polish/cleaner like Novus 1 and a microfiber cloth
So the first portion of this project I was like "oh cool! I could probly do this...... oh... wait..." lmao
I love your videos. Like Frank Howarth, your projects are beyond my skill level / patience. But they're very entertaining. Great respect for your skills and you seem like an awesome guy.
Time really flew whilst I was witching this video. I enjoyed every minute.
Fascinating! Your sense of design is really remarkable - elegant in a very simple way.
Awesome as always. I think it would look cool with a little warm LED in there as well for night time, time telling.
Beautiful! a contrasting dark wood for the splines would have been nice too.
You really didn't have to show the mistaken cuts, but you did. And that just shows your character.
Awesome build as always.
Bin begeistert von deiner Arbeit immer interessant dir zuzusehen.
You raised the value of that clock by a factor of ten!
The contrast of the cut tapers and the rounded corners looks great. The splines are a neat accent feature.

I think it needed the dark interior to pop the clock face. Very cool build. I learn something in every video . Thanks for sharing!

Unbelievable craftsmanship!
Just when you wonder if he has come to the end of his ability to blow us out of the water he comes up with another one to prove me wrong. Love the way this one turned out. Beautiful work.
Really really nice design! Looking forward to tomorrow...
Masterpiece :)
well done pask. the chosen wood (color) is a very good choice and it contrasts quite well with the black colour
Looks fantastic Neil. Perhaps in a future vid you could show in detail your technique for changing the colour of wood by slamming it into your bench.
Lovely work as usual Neil. Feel you’re over critical of your work! Looks stunning.
Neil, we seem both to be enjoying rainy weather of late all be “opposite” sides of the southern part of the earth. I would love to be able to meddle with my projects when there is a consistent rain.
Very nice work on the clock, must say it was much larger than what I thought it was. Love the BIG digits allows for reading without glasses. 😉😆
Brings me back to my parents clock when I was growing up in the 70's. Good job on the clock. Flip clicks always fascinated me.
Nice design! I love the table saw setup for the outside tapers...I'll be borrowing that one.
The new clock case looks better than the original one! Wonderfully executed, too!
Very good job… I love it !!! Excellent finished product !!!
This looks so awesome! Thanks for sharing the build. It was a treat to watch it.
Again this piece turned out awesome, Pask! You really outdid yourself with these 7 days challenges
After watching this, literally said out loud. “Very good!”
Loving the framed painting of Nick Offerman.
I am continually impressed with Neil's skills. Wish I had the time to hone my own!
It’s really looks amazing, you are a talented man.
These work like the old time tables in European train stations, I think they’re called Split Flap boards but actually Flip Splat would work equally well.
Really nice build.
Rewatched again, and again, and again...
Amazing work as usual my friend. Keep up the great work. Love every video
Very nice work sir and thank you for sharing. You turned a $10 clock into a $100 piece of art.
Beautifully done, like the color scheme.
So nice. I really like the idea and the final design.
Es usted un Señor, con mucho talento, gracias por dejarnos ver.
Curved corners. Amazing!
absolutely beautiful! really love your videos. This is one that is possibly just within my skillset to achieve, so might just have a go with a smaller nixie clock I have that needs a housing. Thanks!!
another impressive and beautiful work Neil! I can't wait for tomorrows episode of the Scrapwood Challenge!
Wow excellent job looking forward to the rest thanks for sharing
"It doesn't need to be neat because they'll never be seen" does a super neat job anyway.
I love the clock!!! I thought it was smaller but awesome!!!
Great job, cheers!!!!
💪🏼💪🏼👊🏼👍🏻👍🏻
What a great unique project. Superb mate.
What a great idea. Love the finished piece.
You always seem to impress us with your scrappy work! Cheers!
Gorgeous like everything you have made, nice video=)

beautiful. and i love the way you tested the sturdiness of the hanging slots as a way to show off your Ron Swanson portrait (ok, Nick Offerman).
i was so confused about why is there so much empty space between the numbers and the glass and then i realized why and now i think it’s perfect
Wish the stores sold clocks this pretty. I love this one Pask.
As always, your work is inspiring!
Now that was a challenge! Wow, Very Classy. A convoluted mind always prevails over that of mediocrity! Thanks Neil, saved this to favorites just to keep my noodle in shape!
