My Clock

I don't normally put up pictures of things that I make because they're usually not worth sharing.  This one project came out quite well and I'm kind of proud of it!

Bob has been refinishing our basement for quite some time now and has asked me to get a clock for down there.  With the walls being made of rough cut pine, I didn't want just an ordinary clock, so I decided to try making one.

There's a store called Timeworn Treasures here in Danville that carries unique items and in it I found this old wheel.  I'm not sure what it was originally.  I'm guessing it was part a big spool used for wire or cable.  I sanded it down and this is what it came out to look like.

I found some metal numbers on Etsy and nailed them on.

Next I purchased the biggest clock kit I could find.  It still didn't fit through the 2 inch thick hole there in the middle so i had to route out some of the back.

And here is the finished product!  And it actually works!!
