Popular Post joe mendel Posted February 6, 2022 Popular Post Report Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) This is the final post of my M7 Clock. To my detractors, I am sorry that I posted this project in multiple posts. I posted over 200 pictures over the past few weeks, and I thought that one post would be too large. I am not sure that posting as I have with this project is the way I should have shared this information. I am not a professional internet influencer, I am a woodworker and I am just trying to share my work. The attached YouTube video was filmed by myself, also I am an amateur photographer , and a first time user of a GoPro. I do hope that the video is representative enough of the complex action of the sculpture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmU9j-CpVc8 Edited February 6, 2022 by joe mendel Wrong link 6
Mark J Posted February 6, 2022 Report Posted February 6, 2022 A fantastic piece and a project that makes the Panama Cannal look like a simple ditch. @joe mendel, you have no detractors here, just admirers. Questions and suggestions are part of the show and are kindly intended, at least on this site. By the way, here's a comment. That was your best bit of video, yet. Personally, I struggle with even taking decent still photography process shots, let alone video.

Personally, I struggle with even taking decent still photography process shots, let alone video. By detractors I am referring to those whom pointed out my internet faux pas in regarding to how I posted information. There is a whole lot of internet protocols which I am, (without malice or intent), ignorant too. I really do try not to have a misstep, but I still find I have to scrap shit off of my shoes now and then. It takes me an inordinate amount time to photograph a process, and even longer to sift through them and make them tell a story in pictures. My photos are for an audience with zero to less than zero knowledge of the craft. In this forum I am addressing those who have some level of mechanical aptitude, however, I did not take the time to alter my presentation to a knowledgeable audience. that is a miscalculation on my part, and I should have taken the time to cultivate a message catered to working person's level of interest. I am glad that the video was worth your time watching. I am not Francis Ford Coppola, but at least most of the scenes are held steady. Honestly, I struggled on taking pictures and video of this sculpture because I purposely designed the M7 so the viewer had to look around and underneath elements to see the hidden aspects. I wish I had had the fore site and funds necessary to hire a real video photographer. 2 1
Dave H Posted February 6, 2022 Report Posted February 6, 2022 Well I've enjoyed every part of this project, you are a true craftsman and an artist... possibly an engineer. Keep posting I'll be watching! Thanks for sharing Joe.

joe mendel Posted February 7, 2022 Author Report Posted February 7, 2022 There are great deal of apparatus which were conceived but not implemented. I would make the base just 18" tall which would offer two more levels, and use six legs rather than a column. I also would do a solid dome instead of the ogee brackets and place a more predominate rotunda. I would also make the inlay on the tiers more complex. I am happy with the bracket clock, I might up size the carcass from a 8" x 8" x 4" to a 10" x 10" x 5" cabinet. Oh well, maybe during the next pandemic... 2
