Excellent Mantis Build Video by Brian Gray!


Brian Gray made this wonderful video of his build of the Mantis clock from cutting to assembly to fully working clock.  He sent us this link, plus some very nice compliments.  Thank you, Brian!

Wow!  This is an amazing video, Brian.  You've done an excellent job constructing your Mantis wooden clock build, but you've also done a great job showing how you did it.  You have an amazing workshop with so many excellent tools.  I was drooling!  Your shop makes mine look pretty meager.  Beautifully done, Brian.  You have shown the way these projects are approached by a true craftsman.  I'll certainly be referring this video to other Mantis builders.  Well Done!  Aloha.  Clayton

Thank you Clayton! It's been such a pleasure to put together a few of your clock designs, with more coming! I've been a machinist and woodworker for more than a few decades now. But for some reason, clocks have put a huge spark into my inspiration like no other projects in the past. Thank you very for taking the effort to make your plans available. I'm sure that creating an accurate set of plans is much more work than the clock itself, so thank you!
