Vintage Clock

Hi All,

I am not allowed to make anything new unless I find a space for it, either in my house or someone else's house. Last few projects were for friends or neighbors.

For sometime i wanted to make my own clock and over past few years and a clock in my home went bad, I finally had an opportunity to make one and happy to share how I did it

In this instructable, I will share how to make a vintage clock at home using wood. We can find material is local stationary shop and no power tool required

Features

• It should look cool
• Visible in dark
• And of-course tell time

Step 1: What Do We Need ?

• Wooden embroidery rings ( 6 " and 8")
• Bamboo skewers
• Wooden Letters
• Fevicol or PVA Glue
• Clock Kit
• 5mm Plywood piece
• Black and Bronze acrylic paint
• A key ring

Step 2: Frame

• To form a strong frame, I have used bamboo skewers to connect the two wooden rings
• Make sure the rings are equidistant
• Stick wooden numbers as shown using PVA glue or fevicol
• Try to hide the skewers behind wooden numbers
• Let it dry for few hours

Step 3: Frame 2

• We need means to hide the clock and hang the clock once we are done
• For this I have cut a diamond like shape from a 5 mm plywood
• This will hide the clock mechanism
• Add 2 wooden spacers as shown for adding a key ring later

Step 4: Paint Job

• Paint the frame with acrylic black
• Paint the numbers with golden or bronze color
• You may have to retouch places with black color
• Paint the clock hangs bronze as well
• Let it dry

Step 5: Finalization

• Fit the clock from behind
• I used hot glue to stick it
• Fit the clock hangs carefully, make sure that the needles are not bent
• Add a key ring on the back as shown to hang the clock on a wall
• And we are done !!
