Cheers guys. Dave, yes, I`ve had a good think about this, considering if two pillars is enough. The problem is, there are very few places that you can put the pillars without colliding with other moving parts. The glass is just simple picture frame float glass rim of only 1.5" thickness. I pretty confident that two pillars will be enough. The question is, where to put the pillars. I could put them at 12 and 6 which would look nice and symetrical or the alternative is around 11 and 5 which in my opinion, in glass with 3mm screws just wont look right. The same thought though is that if I put the screws at 12 and 6, the one at 12 will be just above the count wheel and might make it look cluttered. I hate making decisions... This is being cut tomorrow, another 12 hours to decide!!! |

Clock face idea as it stands! EDIT: Ade, Yes, they are etching the bar code into the glass for me :lol: EDIT2: Apparently this sort or "modern art" will make this piece worth million alone! |

I'm enjoying watching this come together. Nice work! Al |

Well too late now, the glass went in for cutting earlier, they were going to do it while I wait but sadly I just could not stay so I`ll have to pick it up in a couple of days. I`ve gone with the arrangement above, the holes being drilled for mounting at 12 and 6, we`ll have to see how it looks! Chris |
