Hello all!
I am thinking of what woodworking project I should start on this fall,
I have a wall clock that I haven't finished yet so I guess I will
start of with that.
But after that I am thinking of starting on a grandfather clock, and
the one in the White House Oval Office seems like a beautiful work of
art.
Anyone that knows if there are drawing and/or detailed photographs of
that available somewhere? Anything available on the history of the
clock?
There is a 360 panoramic view available of the Oval Office on the
White House web site but that does not give away much...
Thanks in advance!

Yes, you can thank me later. Also, please post any info you come upon as I
will now be obsessed with my own clock.

I don't know anything about it but now I'm intrigued. Building one could be
quite a project. Any info out there?

Turns out I caught an episode of Ripley's the other night where a
professional model maker has spent four decades modeling the White House and
its contents. They said he had been to the White House "hundreds of times"
and he takes lots of pictures.
It is called the Tiny White House. It is in Clearmont, FL and is billed as
the world's most accurate scale model. The man is named John Zweifel. They
said he doesn't charge admission to see the miniature so I gather he is
approachable.
I have an .mpg recording of the show: 3:00 - 47.6MB. I also might have a
friend of a friend that works in the White House as a staffer.
