Step 7Construction: Hands and wall hanger.
Clock hands
The clock hands are quite straight forward. After being printed out the hands were glued to very thin aluminium with the contact spray adhesive. Cardboard or plastic could easily be substituted; it does however need to be light weight. The aluminium was thin enough to be cut out with scissors once the glue dried.
Prepare the original plastic clock hands by sanding the outer sides flat. Now it is simply a matter of gluing the hands to the aluminium with epoxy. Make sure they are in the centre. The little hand (being below the long hand) will need to be drilled; the existing hole can be used as a guideline.
Wire wall hanger
To hang the clock, a simple wire hanger was created with picture hanging wire and screws. The make the screws flush, the holes may be counter sunk. A 3M 2kg hook was used on the wall.
