When I get time I am going to make it in E-Cabinet in wood
Is there any way I can make the finial in E-Cabinets if I made tools. I want to learn how to make tool up

You certainly can George! Just take those cross section outlines and reverse them. Make a Display Cube and turn it into a cylinder then profile the edge with your tool just like we discussed in the How to Cut a Sphere thread.
Here is a very rough and quick shot at it. Notice that I rotated the finished item so imagine the shape being upside-down from what is shown. This is because the operation was from the bottom of the Display Cube instead of the top.
Thank You Dan
I just got in I am trimming a house this week.We put a 2ND floor on it.I have to tonight make up some more treads now for another builder.I think he would like to get them by Fri.
Your clock is fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope to get as GOOD with e-Cabinets as you are.
I Love making clocks and hope to own a CNC machine some day and make large numbers of clocks like Seth Thomas and others.
The 3-Fininals and the half dowels were made in ViaCad-6
