In this video, I make the base and cut the Greene and Greene style finger joints in the parts and make the ebony plugs and inlays.
Then I mark out where the ebony plugs and bars will go into the piece, and cut the square holes with a hollow chisel mortiser. The ebony is cut for the plugs and bars, then I proceed to rounding over the plugs as demonstrated by William Ng. You can view the full tutorial on how to make them using this process here: • A Really Fast Way To M...
I use the Festool Domino DF500 to make slots to hold the base on, then cut the bottom panel for the clock.

There's something poetic about taking the time to correct a mistake on a clock build. Good decision, and beautiful clock!
HaHa. Thanks buddy! I couldn't have lived it if I knew I covered up a mistake. It is going in my office, and I would have have to live with it every day. Doing it right and fixing the mistake correctly is more important to me.
I love the Green and Green style. Fantastic project!
Thanks for watching Andrew!
At the beginning of Pt.1 I was a little surprised you were making something as "simple" as a clock, how wrong I was!!! Very intricate and demanding detail involved. Looks amazing!
Simple? I've never heard of that before... HaHa
As a fellow clock cabinet maker I say good job mate ! You have some nice tools/accessories for every job. You like Woodpeckers I see !
It's nice that you show the screw-ups ... makes me fell 'normal' ... the ability to 'modify' is evidence of true capability
I'm the first to admit I make mistakes all the time :)
Looking awesome Guy! Great detail!
They Brian! Thanks buddy!
Hey Guy, some really finicky fitting needed. Nice job. Can't wait for the next video!
Than ks Bill! Lot's of little details take lots of fitting!
and good choice with re making them..looks better in that spot and size
The clock is looking good!! Thanks for the shoutout!!
Thanks for all the help Steve!
It's a pleasure to see the pieces fit together!
Carlos! I am pretty happy about it too :)
Looking great !
Thanks Eric! Looking forward to seeing your desk come to life!
That clock is coming together nicely. Really impressive piece!
Thanks buddy!
It is looking great Guy !
Hey Tommy! Thanks brother!
Anytime :-)
Excellent, looking good so far...
Cheers...
I'm an incra fan and will one day own a set up like yours, very accurate
Cool! I have used Incra products for 20 years, and it is awesome stuff.
Really coming along nicely Guy!
Thanks Fred!
Great video! I like the methodical approach you take in your videos. Very informative!
Thanks!
Beautiful! Nuff said
Thanks Chris!
I bet it was loads of fun making those plugs. :D
HaHa. It wasn't too bad. About an hour or so.
Very Nicely Done 👍👍👍
Hey Bob! Thanks!
Very impressive, Guy. I'm not sure if everyone picked up on you not only had to rebuild the two front stiles but the rear stiles as well? Really appreciate you keeping, you being human, in the vid :). Thank you for sharing and for your awesomeness!!
Thanks Ivan! And no, I didn't have to rebuild the rear posts, just the front ones.
It looks very good!
Thanks!
Beautiful work as always Guy! The misplaced plugs looked great just as they were, you didn't have to make new pieces! But, still look great redone!
Thanks Jody! I would look at this clock every day and say to myself "Why didn't I fix that" and would drive me crazy.
Looking really sharp Guy. Love G&G.
Thanks Brian! I think it looks good for my first time doing this style.
Wow! Guy, that is some beautiful work. I'm starting to sound redundant in my posts, my hats off to you Sir!
HaHa. I really appreciate the support and the comments Wayne. Keep 'em coming!
This clock is looking incredible Guy! Thanks for the videos!
Thanks for watching and the nice comment Donny!
thank you
Glad you liked it!
Looking awesome Guy. Love your techniques and methods you use. Can't wait to see the end results.Thanks for sharing.
Hey Tom! Thanks buddy! I am really digging the way this coming together.
Nice work Guy. Those misplaced mortises for the ebony plugs were the first thing I saw in that shot. Wasn't sure if it was intentional or not. Nice save on it!!
Thanks Brian! Nope, just screwed up! It only took about 2 hours to make new front corner posts, so it was worth it.
Another well explained video and well executed project, Guy.
Thanks Steve!
Looking real nice guy, do you have plans?
Thanks Mike! Working on them, and they will be for sale within a week or so.
Looks awesome coming along great. Looking forward to seeing the next video.
Thanks Thom!
Very impressive Guy. I am am incra fan also. What is the length of the aluminium saw fence, as it extends beyond the table? Did you order this as a special item? Cheers
Thanks Leigh! The fence on my saw is part of their XL package. The table on my table saw is a little larger than most, and it required a special fence and carriage for the extra dept of the table top.
I hate to be a nit-picker Guy but when you're editing your videos you really should lower the audio levels of your power tool shots when you've got everything laid out on your timeline. It's a nice comfortable level when you're talking about what you're doing but then when you cut to tool usage the volume goes through the roof. That aside I'm loving this build :) Many thanks.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll keep it in mind!
I love the way the tendons stick a little proud on the green and green Style absolutely beautiful work as always guy! so how do you like working with the mahogany? and how come you quit making and selling your work didn't you say used to have like a word of mouth business
always bro!🍻
Thanks Joe! I haven't made a piece for a customer in about 15 years or so now. Maybe I will start again someday. And mahogany is awesome to work with. A little more pricey than what I'm used to though.
GuysWoodshop man u definitely should .one of theae days..just like a word of mouth kinda thing. And yea the mahogany is but the oiled end result it awesome!! What type of oil are u finishing with? Natural danish darkens it up just enough amd leaves it looking like it got a little sun tan..lol anyways can't wait to see what it looks like once you start finishing it!🖒
Is this the start of a green and green collection🖒👍😆
Hey Joe, not sure if this is one of many G&G pieces yet. Maybe, maybe not :) I dyed the mahogany today, and will be using Arm R Seal satin for the finish and then dark brown paste wax.
No, no, I think you're fine with the placement of the plugs. Look at a Greene & Greene chair. The mortises are where they need to be, not always lined up with other mortises closeby. They are in pleasing positions when you look at all of them together, and can see the overall positional symmetry.
Agreed. However it was one of those "that's not were they're supposed to be" things, and I would always know I made a mistake and didn't fix it.
Looks like you're gonna hafta make another since you have those posts sitting around. I'll dm you my address where you can ship it. 😏
HaHa. Sure no problemo
That dog did tear up your hands, didn't she?
Hey Mike! She sure did!
