Steel Warp & Weft Woven steel and cedar grandfather clock

Here is the newest.  It a woven steel grandfather clock.  I cut out a crazy quilt pattern in stainless steel that I was going to stitch together for a clock face.  Then I cut out 1 inch strips of stainless steel to try weaving them.  Great idea, but stainless steel is way hard and stiff.  No weaving.  Next I tried old rusted steel roofing.  Now that is flexible enough to weave.  Then I added 4 handmade copper rivets at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 positions. (Long story about Medicare annual checkup with cognitive test using clock face.  I’ll spare you the details)  I built a Japanese/Mission style clock to hold it.  Then I pre-assembled it on my work table.  I climbed up on a chair (Don’t do this at home) to look at it and photograph it, it was of course fore-shortened.  The sides were wider at the bottom.  Wow.  Epiphany!!  So I built it that way.
