Beautiful clock! Love the suggestion of rusting the brad nails in a wee bit of vinegar and bleach so the nails don't stand out against those fabulous rusted numbers you scored (on Ebay, I think you said). Great video, very inspiring, m'dear!
Beautiful! I actually liked it when you had the distressed white & stain look but finished product is incredible! I’m at a standstill for my next pallet project but now I think I’ve officially found it! Thanks for the idea!
nice clock Chris. when i need to make a circle for my clocks i use a straight board and screw my router to the end with a straight bit in it and measure the diameter of the circle and screw it into the wood, plundge my router bit in about 1/4" and spin it around lowering my bit till I'm throw the wood
Yes another great option... To be honest with their wood I preferred the minimum of my tools go near it! :) I always try to be sure there are no nails left but seems liek I always find one with a planner blade or something so I was trying to keep that to a minimum. The method you speak of is an excellent way to do it. Thanks for watching! Chris
Thanks! It was my first try at this. I have seen many others do similar things and was amazed at how good their looked. I don't think it was too bad for a first try. Thanks for the kind words and for watching! Chris
Very Neat Chris, Looks great, I like the way you added the color and stains to get that rustic look and the numbers made it Pop. It was neat to actually see it in your shop as you were working on it, Thanks for having me over and All The Best
Great video! And I thought you did a terrific job of the painting, too.. I'm going to try my hand at one now and use some rusted numbers I've been saving as well. Thanks!
+Chris Pine ALWAYS!! and I know what you mean..lol I had a very old craftsman from the laye 50's that my father gave me when I first started Woodworking and I used it so much I ended up burning it out! so I bought a new one..u know that ever so popular DeWalt from Home Depot LOL.have a good one man..
Love the video, Chris! Actually, I love how you did the painting and the way your clock turned out. I'm going to do the same except that I plan to have my planks run vertically. Nice job. Thanks!
Dang!! That is a beautiful piece of creative handiwork!! I just love it. I'll definitely be making some to post on a local Handmade site here at home. Thanks for sharing this Chris!
I also have a can of rusty nails form pallets... They are much bigger than I wanted to deal with for the numbers.. The otters trick is amazing how fast it rusts the nails... Like a made chemistry experiment. :)
Strange - I was watching something recently where soaking in vinegar (and salt?) was done to REMOVE rust! Certainly my wife used a vinegar and salt solution to clean copper pieces prior to kiln enamelling when she used to make jewellery.
Beautiful work great understanding of how many layers/colors of paint accumulate over the years. HonestlyI would’ve liked it better if you left out the last coat. The white and red layer looks a lot better. Still a wonderful job!
Very simple but clean design! I just uploaded my first video for my channel. I subscribed to yours because you have great content and useful information that might help me get better.
love the clockand video.. question... did you have to notch out a square in the back so the shaft of the clock would stick out? If so have did you do that?
great job, congratulations ! What is the power tool you are using for sanding ? Is it a normal angle grinder with an accessory to collect the dust ? if yes can you tell me what is it ? Thanks
You get a gold star for the extra effort in that layered finish. Awesome build!
the Lord bless your hands, excellent job!!! thanks for sharing!
That looks great Chris!!
Thanks Carl!
Like the looks of the clock. The way you painted it gives me more ideas for my unique clocks. Thanks

Thanks! It was a fun project. I would love to see your take on this!
Thanks for encouraging me with this video.

nice. I said aaahhhggg when you put on the red, but that blue is the right choice...
I like how the many layers of stain turned out. Very nice project.
Thanks!
Gorgeous

Awesome
Thank you!
Nice project, Chris!
The font of the numbers is Playbill
Love it! Looks great!
Thanks Angie!
muriatic acid to rust metal. I get zinc bolts to look aged in a few hours. Metal hates that stuff.
Your clock came out great
Like it!👍
Nice clock!
Thank you!
Love it...thnx
Nice work, when I take pallets apart I save the rusty nails for use when the looks is needed :)
I also have a can of rusty nails form pallets... They are much bigger than I wanted to deal with for the numbers.. The otters trick is amazing how fast it rusts the nails... Like a made chemistry experiment. :)
+Chris Pine yep I see your point on the size, had a brain fart I guess lol. I knew about the vinager but not the bleach, interesting.

Where did you get clock hands an mechanisms
What type of paint did you use? Did it matter to help it stick to your wood when you sanded it?
Chris, this looks great...what is the first layer that you put down at 2:05. Is this wood Primer..Kilz...thanks
Its been a few years now But yes I believe it was just primer
Chris...loved your smile...hahahahahah...just subscribe..you have an awesome channel
You are very kind! Thanks a lot!
my pleasure sir
Isn't Chris Pine a movie star/actor?
Great job Chris!!
Thank you!
How did you hang it?
love the clockand video.. question... did you have to notch out a square in the back so the shaft of the clock would stick out? If so have did you do that?
great job, congratulations ! What is the power tool you are using for sanding ? Is it a normal angle grinder with an accessory to collect the dust ? if yes can you tell me what is it ? Thanks
Its a random orbit sander. They make them in different sizes this one is a little larger
how big are your hands and size of clock
👍👍👍👍👍
Cool where did you get the large clock hands
A company called Klockit... google them
@@TheChrisPineWorkshop thanks chris
How do you know what size clock hands to use?
where did you get the long clock hands???
where did you get the clock working part s fRom
Search klockit on google. That is the company. This is the hi torque parts for larger clocks.
nice work!! BTW, can you tell me the website you used to get motor and hands?
Search klockit on google. That is the company. This is the hi torque parts for larger clocks.
I'm a newbie to this, what grit sandpaper did you use between paint coats? Great video by the way
I believe I started with 150 but switched to 100 grit and that worked better to take pain off as desired.
Thanks
how do you know how far apart to space the numbers?
See 5:34 I am sure there is a more mathematical way to do it but that worked for me. :)
360 degrees in a circle divided by 12 equals 30 degrees apart. Works every time.
hey chris! where did you buy the clock hands?
From a company called Klockit. If you search them you will find them.. Thanks for watching!
This time I will do it manually with the help of Woodprix designs.
I bought woodglut instructions once and now I have lifetime access to thousands of woodworking projects.
Just go to the woodglut website if you want to do it yourself.
