• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

I purchased an old wall clock from owners a few units away.
Wife passed away about a year ago after living in frail care for 2 years, he moved to frail care couple of months ago.
Daughter is clearing out the unit getting ready to sell, we collected huge pile of books for Son and I expressed an interest in the clock.
A bargain at ZAR250.
Looks like Oak, will only confirm when stripping and cleaning.
No makers name on the front.
I suspect it came from the UK where they both originated from many years ago.
It is wind up with set of chimes which will be disconnected (wife threw out the battery in the one I built - middle of night it went ding-dong-ding-dong the whole Westminster chimes :LOL:)

The refurb will only be start 2025 as I have a lot of other work to complete.

It looks very similar to one I got off my father inlaw, probably mid 50's. I had it in the house and loved the melodic ticking. He used like to 'fix' them but mine does the wrong number of dongs for the hr chime. Its very out of tune also. I have it in the shed now.
 
I am itching to start but it is number 19 on my TDL.

Top of the list is finishing off all the bee hive components and delivering :rolleyes:

I did a search on the clock and they date back to 20's and 30's.
 
Talking about lists, I had six chore items on yesterdays list only completed 2 and 3/4 items.
Better get my behind moving today!
