Very nice work.
How does the front clock face door open when it is recessed under the arched bonnet? Seems like it would not clear it. I have seen it happen several times in architectural doors set into curved ceilings.

Hi Dave
The hinges are reproductions designed for that application by ball and ball,http://www.ballandball-us.com/hinges_clock_tallcase.html.
they are offset and perhaps that helps in that respect, first time I have used them. In any event, I simply mounted the doors and drove the single pin in part way so I could remove it easily. Then beveled from the center of the arc and down the vertical side with a spokeshave and plane remounted and repeated until it finally just cleared the opening.

Nice job, man that does look close what about seasonal change you think it will get caught up then or has it gone through the seasons.

Thanks. Dimensional changes at the area around the door will be minimal and will not affect the function. In areas where movement might be a problem such as the large cove mold that runs across the sides, the solid 1 piece back and some interior case fastenings, i have used a variety of techniques that allow for free movement.
