WALL CLOCKS THAT CAN BE MADE IN A DAY
I Have Designed Several Wall Style Clocks Using Quartz Clockworks And One Piece Of Wood Cut To Many Different Shapes And Styles.

OLD GLORY FLAG WITH RED & BLUE HANDS
Taking a piece of walnut and putting a cove edge around the edge and routing out the clock 3" X 3" square on the clocks back going 3/4" deep is the hardest part of making a wall clock. Then drill a 1/2" hole in the walnut for the clock to come through from the rear. Put a couple coats of Valspar clear finish onto the whole board meaning both back and front and letting it dry overnight. The next day choose a Old Glory 3" dial and add the correctly sized hands and your finished. |

RED HEART THROB THEMOMETER
This was a real easy clock to build. After cutting out your heart and boring a 3" hole for the clock movement a little sanding and paint the whole clock and let totally dry. Then do the dots. After it all dries, install the clockworks. I have used a themometer in this red heart to the high temp for a deep red heart. Don't forget to add a brass hook or a wooden peg under the clockworks when finished. |

YELLOW HEART THROB HYGROMETER
Basiclly using the same idea as the red heart only using a wooden peg instead of a brass hook. I also used a Hygrometer instead of a Themometer. Neat Huh! |

ONE GAUGE WEATHER STATION
This Is A Piece Of Scrap Walnut Left Over From Another Project. I Made A 3" Bore In The Center At 3/4" deep and routed a cove edge around the whole square surface edge. I then used a picture hanger router bit on the back to hang up when completed. I then coated the whole piece with Valspar let dry overnight and the next day I installed a Themometer/Hygrometer/Barometer Gauge in the wood.This is 3 gauges in one. |

TNN GUITAR CLOCK
This I made using Popular Wood and Walnut for a base. This is when I started making my hands out of different types of wood and coating each one. They were cut on my band saw to get the thickness needed to fit into the clockworks shaft. I then drilled each one seprately using 2 different size drill bits. Then rounded both ends of the hands and coated them. I have made about 25 sets using 4 different types of wood.

DUN QUACKED UP CLOCK
This Clock style was made every year for our firemens banquet for the award of anyone having an accident of some type during the past year. It got a lot of laughs. |

OLD Mc DONALD'S FARM CLOCK
This Barn Type Clock Was Made Using Two Different Types Of Lumber. The Outer Shell Was Cut To Fit The Barn Contour For The Clock Hands To Fit In. Its It Usually A 3" Hole For The Small Set Of Hands To Fit Into. The Base Is Usually But Not Always The Same Wood As The Hands Are. |
