I wrote this review for the Orleans plans but also included these plans.
Three weeks to deliver even though the catalogue says 2 to 7 days! Wrote 3 emails got one reply, finaly arrived in a tattered, torn and damp paper envelope (all my other suppliers deliver plans in sealed plastic bags inside padded boxes!) The Orleans plans are not bad as long as you are experienced and have a full workshop! The mouldings alone require shapers with custom made blades! EXPENSIVE! In my experience the mouldings on this clock are too large to be done on a router table. I asked Murray for advise on the shaper blades and where to get them but have had no reply. I also ordered the F2E plans at the same time. DON'T BOTHER! I think they were designed as an aid to assembling a kit and not to make a clock from scratch! For and experienced draughtsman they require guesswork for a beginner they are totally hopeless! As for the catalogue, thanks for the picture book as I won't be using it to order! I think I will have better luck drawing up my own plans from the pictures and yes I am an experienced draughtsman and cabinet maker!
