Vintage clocks come in many different styles of fretwork. In this article we will be discussing the Ingolf Haas, Fred Thuss and Bielefeld designs. Some clocks may only be made from one type of wood while others could contain several types. Each clock has its own distinct look. These beautiful pieces can be used in any style, but they will certainly add class to your home.
Bielefeld clock
The perfect place to look for a vintage watch that will impress family and friends is here. A Bielefeld clock is a great example of gothic-style fretwork that is both ornate and practical. It only needs a clock mechanism with hands to build a Bielefeld clock. It's easy to build and you can use wood as thick as one-quarter of an inch. You can change the size and layout of the compartments and dial as necessary.
Bielefeld clock is an example of the unique art work that German towns can boast. The city dates back to the 9th century and is home to a medieval fort and university. Bielefeld is working hard at dispelling a conspiracy theory that dates back over 25 years. The conspiracy theory was started by a student who posted a message on Usenet in 1994. Usenet is a German version the internet. This message spread quickly, becoming widely known, even though it was only a very small area of the internet at the time.
Ingolf Haas clock
Rombach & Haas, a German manufacturer of cuckoo clocks, was established in Schonach more than 100 years ago. Ingolf Haas (owner) and Conny Haas (director) employ twelve people in the company’s old workshops. The company's founders crafted the floorboards and workbenches, which shows how much they value tradition. Ingolf Haas fretwork watches are some of the best examples of their kind.
Ingolf Haß' workshop has been a tradition in the area for over 150 year. His cuckoo clocks remain among the most beautiful and accurate timepieces available today. This particular timepiece has VDS certification. The intricate fretwork carving is simply amazing. The clock can run for 8 days on one wind. Rare find: The clock's original Ingolf-Haas design still conjures up an old-fashioned English cottage.
Fort Greene Park's courts for basketball attract many black children. There are water fountains throughout the park. Fountains for dogs are also available. Fort Greene Park and its clock became connected in the 18th century. They are still popular among German visitors. The clock and Fort Greene Park are both cultural icons of Germany and popular souvenirs. But what is it that makes Fort Greene Park so special?
Fred Thuss clock
Fred Thuss clock's elaborately fretted case is a prime example of early twentieth century's obsession with artisanal, wrought iron work. The machinist and engineer for the Upham Manufacturing Company in Marshfield, Massachusetts, created the clock from a commercial pattern. These ornaments were popular during the late 19th century. The clock is an important part of local history.

How To
How to stain wood
Stain wood is a process that involves applying chemicals to the surface of wood, which changes its color. The wood will turn from white to brownish-red due to the chemical reaction. Although oak is the most popular type of wood to stain, there are many other types that can be used.
There are many options for applying stains to wood surfaces. Mixing the stain in a solvent such as turpentine and spraying it onto the wood is one method. Some methods involve a mixture of water and dye that is applied directly to the wood. Stains can also be mixed into paints and varnishes, becoming part of the finish coating.
Preparing the surface is the most important step in staining wooden surfaces. To apply the stain, clean the wood completely. Sanding smoothens scratches and rough spots. The next step is to choose the stain type you want. There are two main types of stain: non-penetrating and penetrating. Penetrating stains penetrate deeper than non-penetrating stains, which makes them great for dark colors like mahogany. Light colors such as maple work well with non-penetrating stain.
After you've decided what type of stain to apply, get ready for your tools. A paintbrush works well for applying stains because it allows you to spread the liquid evenly across the surface. You should also have some handy rags to wipe up excess stains after you finish painting. You should have enough containers to store the various components of the stain mixture if you intend to mix it yourself.
Once you have prepared your materials, start by cleaning the area where you plan to stain the wood. To remove dirt and dust, use warm water and soap. Wipe the entire piece of furniture with a rag dampened with clean water. Make sure you eliminate any loose debris, especially if you plan to stain darker wood.
Next, spray the stain. Start at one end of the piece of furniture and brush or spray the stain onto the wood. Move slowly and carefully along the grain of your wood until you reach its opposite end. Keep the stain from dripping off the wood's surface. Let the stain dry completely before proceeding with the next steps.
Clear polyurethane is used to protect the painted surfaces. Apply three coats polyurethane sealer. Allow the third coat to dry overnight before sanding the final coat.
