Patience Clock

I built this Patience Clock to remind myself that "Only those who have the patience to do simple things perfectly ever acquire the skill to do difficult things easily."  (Friedrich von Schiller, 1759-1805, dramatist, essayist and poet.)

Thanks to Nick Ferry and Sterling Davis for inspiring me to make this clock.  Check out their videos below:

I made this clock from a scrap piece of a White Spruce 2x4.  The scroll sawn symbol is the Kanji character that represents Patience.  Here is a link to the Clock Insert that I used.  Click this link to download my free Patience Clock PDF Template.
