Step 15Drill The Holes In The Clock
Now we have to drill matching holes in the top of the clock frame. To make the marks I just align the drilled steel pieces where they are supposed to go and then use a permanent marker to make a dot through the holes.
The clock frame piece was too awkward to sit on my drill press table so I just used a power hand drill instead, plastic is easier to drill this way.
Always make sure you take apart the device before drilling. One of my earliest tinkering memories is destroying my toy RC monster truck by accidentally drilling holes through the frame and into its circuit board.
Once all the holes are drilled we can mount the plates with the hardware, reassemble the clock, and then stick the magnetic base on.
