Newport Style Tall Clock Class
Build a Newport style tall clock.  This clock is considered one of the richest looking examples of the Goddard clocks.  The clock(s) that you make will become be a family heirloom(s) with your name on it and remain in your family for generations to come.  The original clock case is constructed from mahogany and has a brass eight day movement with a painted dial.  This class is a great opportunity to learn how to build a magnificently beautiful tall clock case.
