Crazy Clock

[Rockytime]

Frank Pellow posted this clock a few days ago. Really caught my attention. It is a Sue May design. I'm making 11 of these for Christmas gifts. I'll be alternating the fronts and backs. White on black and black on white. I don't particularly like making duplicates but I'll stack these 3 up and cut from 3/16 luan plywood.

Hey, I like this variation.  I might make a few more myself.

I don’t like doing multiples, but those will make great gifts.

I'm stacking three up so won't be too bad.

Hi Rocky, I looked at the original pattern and it doesn't have a backer on it. What size clock insert did you use.

I'm sorry  for this delay but I'll run out to the shop and measure.

[Rockytime]

OK, I just measured. The threaded shaft is 9/16" long and the shaft uses a 5/16" drill. The backer was made using a method Chas. Deering demonstrated using a washer and tracing around the clock pattern. I can't describe it but someone here may have the verbal skills to adequately describe it. I could perhaps show a photo after the Stupi..er Super Bowl game.

Thanks Rocky, no problem.
