When you install the hands on a clock make sure that you line them all up on 12:00 so that the hour hand will always point in the correct area and you will also be able to verify that the hands will not hit each other.

I remember when I was a kid in the seventies and a guy down the street used to use a chainsaw and cut up dead trees and make clocks out of them with gold letters that were gorgeous. He was getting $100 a pop for them and could make several a day, they sold like hotcakes. 100$ was actually worth something in the seventies too.

awww geez , its you again. good job , i liked it

Nice job well done. The rubber washer is supposed to be installed on the back side of the clock. It helps the grip between the mechanism and clock, to prevent over tightening with the nut.

Thanks Robert! I did realize my mistake at some point.

@benrevell Жыл бұрын

The rubber washer goes over the shaft on the mechanism, not on the clock face. It acts as a grip between the wood/resin and the mechanism.

@CraftedElements Жыл бұрын

Thanks Ben for clarifying. These kits don't seem to come with instructions so it was a best guess scenario.

As someone else has said the rubber washer goes between the movement and the case/dail the single straight marks that you made are called battons ,clock movements come in shaft lengths from 8 to30 millimetres glad to see you used the hand set knob to set the time rather than the hands ,by the way I'm a watch and clock maker

Sean, nice work as always buddy. I loved what you did ofnthe resin clock. You have just inspired me to get off of my butt and start doing more projects. Have you ever thought of doing a head and foot board of a bedroom? I love your work my good man.

@CraftedElements Жыл бұрын

Thanks Cliff. The headboard and footboard would be cool, but we focus on items we can make with the molds and templates we offer, as our main business is selling these to help makers, not making stuff ourselves... if that makes sense?

Yes, someone actually had mentioned that in the past and I do mention that in the flood coating video we have here on KZfaq, but definitely a good thing to point out.

If you don't have all the fancy equipment can you just hand sand it with a grit until it's smooth? I do not have a plainer or or any other equipment. I want to make a resin clock with numbers on it instead of the little grooves

@CraftedElements Жыл бұрын

In short. YES. You could fill the resin just to to the top, then use low to high grits to level it out. It just takes much longer.

For easier reading, the 12, 3, 6 and 9 would be better in a different color.

@chrislinder1111 Жыл бұрын

which router bit did you use to do the inlays?

@CraftedElements Жыл бұрын

For pocketing, resin backfills, or wood inlays a handheld plunge router is recommended. Wood inlay templates (such as bow ties and butterflies) require an inlay kit with a spacer bushing, such as the Whiteside 9500 Solid Brass Inlay Kit. For general pocketing and recesses use the Amana Tool 45983 (1/2“) radiused bit, Amana Tool 45460-S (1/2”), 45475-S (3/8”) or 47224-S (1/4”) straight bits or similar router bits.

How did you clean that small squeeze bottle you used to apply the epoxy? I got your 12" acrylic template and want to get started on making a clock(s). Also, do you know the product name/number for the clock mechanism?

@CraftedElements Жыл бұрын

I didnt clean it, its tossed after using it. They come in a 15 or 20 pack on Amazon, are relatively inexpensive. There are MANY clock mechs on Amazon. They are generally the same size so the brand doenst matter, however the "long thread" one I use in this video is here: www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0719B5DV3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't expect to hear back from you guys, but your links in the description are tagged or linked or something with KZfaq, and the links time out. Don't load. I can't even copy the links and attempt to pull them up on another platform (such as Chrome). Are your links broken? Are you guys DOA? What's up? I'm 6:30 into this video, and I won't bother to watch the rest of it due to useless links to the products you list. What's the point? If I can't source your stuff, why watch the whole video?
