Darroll's Retirement Clock Scaled


Vic

This piece was designed for my boss that is retiring. The three gauges are from an old blower door, the type he used in his early days as a home auditor. They are used to pressure test houses. We use a DG700, digital manometer, now. The face is aluminum, textured with 100 grit on an orbital sander, the edge banding is walnut shop veneer. All is finished with a Valspar Enamel.

Thank you, Bart.  The base was just A/C plywood and the top for a kerf core bend.  After doing some research I found that the best way to adhere the aluminum to the substrate was with contact cement.  The Walnut veneer was applied using the iron on PVA trick, in which you apply PVA to both surfaces, let it dry, then iron it on.  I was pleased that it worked so well.  It made positioning of the veneer very easy.
