Record Clock

This instructable will teach you how to reuse an old vinyl record and turn it into a clock.  You can make it for about $5.00 (depending on where you purchase your supplies).  It is also a great beginners clock.

Step 1 Supplies

You will only need a few Items...
  -Some type of Krylon clear spray paint, I used Crystal Clear Acrylic Coating.
  -A old record (the better the condition the better the final product will be).
  -A clock housing             *Sometimes you can get a kit with the clock, numbers, and hands, check your local craft store.  
  -Self Adhesive Numbers
  -Clock Hands
  -Pliers
  -Scissors (to open the packaging)
  -Supper Glue (if needed)
  -Sand Paper (if needed)
  -AA Battery
  -Something to clean off the old record

Why did you use the clear coat? I've been making records into clocks for years and they seem to hold up just fine without any kind of sealer. What does it "ad to the appearance" that I can't make out in the photos?

Now that I think of it, a really glossy record would probably be pretty cool. They're already shiny so a thick coat of shellac would probably make them even prettier. It's probably just a hard quality to capture on camera.

You can see how much better the paint makes it look between step two and the final product
