How to make a giant rustic wall clock

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I show you how to make a really large rustic wall clock from reclaimed pallet wood and a clock movement found on amazon. This project requires a Pallet, a hammer, a jig saw, a drill, some solid stain or paint, a clock movement, some clock hands, and some picture hanging wire.
The clock movement and hands can be found here:
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I...
The OOK hangers can be found here:

    Great looking clock. I love it. I did not notice the music, so I guess that it was a great choice as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for the video.

    Thanks for the instructions on making a clock. A 36 inch clock will be ideal. I know I'll have to watch this video several times to catch all the steps but this is going to be fun and will definitely make a very personalized gift.

    Another way to locate the numerals is to temporarily install the movement and hands. Then just crank the minute hand around and when its at 12, the hour hand will be pointing to the correct location for the number.

    Great tip, Bob. Tom Howbridge suggested that too. Definitely seems like the simplest way to do it! If I had only thought if that when I was making the clock...

So question: do I stain the wood first, paint it red and then use sand paper? Do you recommend using a polyurethane after stenciling the letters to make the look last?

    Thank you for your feedback. I've since learned the art of sound design and have toned down the music. Music can tend to draw a viewer to watch longer. Think of it like an elevator, department store, or restaurant. To create ambiance so you spend more money. In my case it's adsense dollars.

BTW: just a thought, you might be able to install the clock at the 12' position move the minute hand one full revolution and use the hour hand to reference where to paint each number.

    +ZH Fabrications Hey, yep. It's a Grizzly cabinet saw so they come with the Shop Fox fences (same company/factory/owner). I had upgraded to the longer rails though. I like it a lot. It locks down really well and doesn't jump off the mark when you lock it. It's super easy to adjust for parallel with the set screws. My fence had about a 10 thousandth bow in the middle. I called Grizzly and they suggested using aluminum foil as a shim in between the HDPE face and the rail beam. Now it's straight as an arrow.

    This was excellent!!!!!!!! I love this, edited well. I really appreciate this video. The only thing I would do different is possibly add more white all over the clock with a ruffed up Shabby Chic look. Maybe add another stencil in the center but all of this is really just a preference thing. Again totally loved your video.

    Thank you!!! You can totally make it your own! I kept with the grey to match other tones in our house. Grey couch, love seat, quilts, walls, etc. If I did add more white, I'd probably use paint instead of solid stain so I could get that "peeled paint on an old picket fence" look. Thanks for watching!
