Tall Case Oak Clock | S16 E5 

You have just taken me back to my childhood with my late grandparents. My late Granddaddy had a black Grandfather clock that he lovingly attended to all the time. The sounds from your beautiful clock took me home, so thank you!

You can tell that Norm really enjoyed building this pair of clocks. They are beautiful.

This is so beautiful. You should be very proud.

Awesome to see a lot of the episodes being posted. Re-inspired me and I am going to go buy some NYW plans now.

This clock is sure another one of those New Yankee classics, that I think will sound great in these modern homes, and sometimes even libraries, as well! What a treasure!

Great work man, that looks great!

I have always kept an eye out for any kind of chime clocks when we were visiting those second hand stores and flea markets and antique stores. But I was wondering how would a guy know when a clock was made and where it was made and the information about how you could find this out by looking at the markings on any clock? I have always and really appreciate the clocks that were handcrafted with such intricate details and design, especially the coo-coo clocks and the ones with the deer head over the top and the other ones with the oak leaf and stick design that were in this episode. And how long does it take for a craftsman to make one of those pieces? I once worked for a gentleman who was a collector of those type of clocks and he had one's very similar to the ones in the store on this episode and he would always invite me to come into his house and you could hear them going off , and the chime sounds they made were awesome and amazing to look at. But it was when I was young and saw my grandparents clock's that really caught my attention and inspired me to want to start my own collection of these timeless pieces of art. And this episode is the first one, that I was able to see one of these timeless pieces being built and the craftsmanship that it takes to build one? And Norm Abraham's knowledge and skills are the very best at what it takes to do this craft! I want to thank everyone who is responsible for the airing of these videos and a special thanks to Russ Morash for his part of the making of these programs. And God bless you guys and your families and have a great day.

I love that clock, but the walls in my apartment complex are so thin, that the entire neighborhood will think it's the End Times when it goes off. My favorite bit was when he was stalling the chime rods and it sounded like something out of Dr. Who.

👍👍👍

Before we use any power tools, let’s talk about shop safety. Be sure to read, understand, and follow all the safety rules that come with your power tools. Knowing how to use your power tools properly will greatly reduce the risk of personal injury. And remember this: There is no more important safety rule, than to wear these, safety glasses.

It fills my heart with so much joy to see all the New Yankee Workshop videos coming to youtube. Used to watch this all the time with my dad. He died before I ever became a man and he was a spectacular tradesman and artist. Feel like I'm right back beside him when I watch these.

He makes it look easy. My parents had one of these clocks when I was growing up. I moved out at 19, and for six months, I could hear it chiming in my head.

If you’re making this, it might be a good idea to put a bubble level or two inside if there’s a place to do it inconspicuously.

I wouldn't want to be working in that museum when Daylight Saving starts and ends!...

Yea your right he makes it look so easy.

Russell- did you sponsor all of this type of road trips for Norm and camera crew, or was the PBS station it originally aired on the benefactor for the excursion? Because I have wondered about this for decades and now have access to the mind behind the sliding barn door 😅

With all his skill in woodworking, not just crafting items like this but also carpentry, he must have one seriously nice home.

I built this piece a couple years ago. I love it.

My favorite episode!

Nice work and it’s true Arts and Crafts project with the oak! However the clock components like the chimes and other internal clock guts, those are not diy because you can easily screw up the internal clock guts! Let the internal clock parts be installed by a company or professional but the wood part you can do yourself!

It's a Long Case Clock, not a Tall Case Clock!
