How to Make a Dali Style Melting Clock

Step 9 Hang

Now you can hang the clock on a mantle or a bookshelf. The trick is to find a place that has enough room for the clock movement. and once you do, be sure to nail the clock down so that it doesn't fall off. Now make a few more for your friends who would enjoy it and ease on out of the ultra-consumer fest that we do to celebrate time passing.

This is a really cool idea but to let you know, it's actually allot cheaper to buy a clock kit than to take apart a clock.

The clock I used was $3, and is now $2, from Ikea. Since I live close to one and stop by occasionally for other stuff, this makes the clock cheaper. It's often not too hard to find an old clock for free, either.

I've bought movements online as well to get different hands or a high torque movement. It's all a matter of what you need.

Well I can see what you mean by that. But the only problem with inexpensive clocks sometimes is that they tend to break-down easier.

 You would have to use "Rock Around the Clock". I will be making this.

Or make your own "Rock Around the Clock" label. :D

Greatest...instructable...ever. I made one crazy fast for a friend around christmas and it turned out awesome. I took the advice of on eof the other comments and decided to add a weight (the box) as opposed to making my buddy nail his mantle (interpret that how you may). But really, it turned out amazing. yes, i'm proud.
