When it comes to vintage clocks, there are many varieties of fretwork designs. In this article, we'll be discussing the Ingolfhaas, Fred Thuss, as well as the Bielefeld designs. Some clocks are only made from one type wood, while others may be made with multiple types. Each clock is unique. These intricate pieces will add elegance to any home, no matter which style you choose.
Bielefeld clock
This is the place to go if you want a vintage clock that will impress friends and family. A Bielefeld clock is a great example of gothic-style fretwork that is both ornate and practical. The Bielefeld clock requires only a clock mechanism, hands and a few other components. Construction isn't particularly challenging, and the design allows for wood between one-quarter and one-eighth inch thick. You can adjust the size of the dial or compartments to suit your needs.
Bielefeld clock is an example of the unique art work that German towns can boast. It dates back to 9th century. The city is also home to a medieval fort, university, and other historical buildings. However, the Bielefeld marketing team is trying to dispel a conspiracy theory which has been around for over 25 years. A 1994 message posted by a student on Usenet, the German version of the internet, started the conspiracy theory. 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. Owners Ingolf Haas and Conny Haas employ twelve people in the company's old workshops.

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?

How can you accurately measure wood?

A digital caliper has two jaws that open and close. One jaw holds the object being measured and the other measures the distance between them. The digital caliper is great for measuring small distances like thicknesses of wood.
Laser levels have an infrared light beam that projects a line across the floor. A red dot is created by the laser. By looking down the line, you can see whether the surface is even or not. Laser levels are ideal for checking the accuracy on large surfaces.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. There is a bubble at the center of this device. As long the bubble is not in the middle, the device will show you whether the surface of the object is level. Bubble levels are great for checking the accuracy and precision of smaller areas.
