Tic Toc

When I was in seventh or eighth grade, I made a clock in technology class. I learned how to router the edges of the finish pieces, sand, stain, and glue each piece, assemble the clock, and my favorite one: sandblast a design. I remember it took me at least a week after tracing the design on contact paper to use an exacto knife and cut away all the lines that made up the silhouette of a girl reading and a cat sitting in a window. My mom has kept it in our house in NY since I left home. I liked it so much, when they were ready to get rid of it, I had them bring it with them. Unfortunately, neither the glass nor the clock made it in one piece. I just wanted to take a picture of what was left of it. Good memories. :)
