Have been looking at various videos on how to make a clock . Came across your channel . I like how your clocks look and how you incorporate trial and error into the project . That is how most of my projects come to fruition. I'm going to build one of those clocks . Thanks for the lesson . I also subscribed .
Finally a diy clock Video! Ty , looks fun and easy to start as a selling ideas . I also like your live video with your mistakes ( respectfully) . So, when I make mine I’ll feel ok with mine! ✅👍
Some thoughts: You might make a template patterned off of your router base plate to mortise out the clock body inset. Or invest in a set of brass router template collars/guides. Maybe not worth the extra time and money if you are only doing one clock. But if you are thinking of making several and want a clean, straight edge on your mortise, it might be worth it. Also, a straight spiral upcut router bit is a better choice for cutting the circle. It will clear the shavings out of the groove. Again, it's a money issue. If you already have a plain straight bit, it will work but doesn't cut as well because shavings clog the groove.
I actually found your channel by looking up reviews on the jasper round circle jig & then seen your beautiful clocks😊 Question though are you still using the jasper jig to make your round circles, or did you go back to using what you was? I'm wondering if it's worth buying the jig to make my circles & absolutely love the colored stained clock, do you happen to remember what stains you used? Also new subscriber here😁
@@gigiscustomwoodsigns5471 Hi! So when if I do need a large circle, the jasper jig is my best option. In some cases, I might still make a simple handmade jig. I will say that a hand made jig is just as good if you will only be making a small number of items or if your circles will always be the same size. The colors were Varathane barn red, dark walnut, vintage aqua, and weathered grey. Thanks for watching!
Sorry bout that. I got the numbers and the mechanism from Amazon. I basically glued them down with wood glue. Then I put the clear coat on of polyurethane. Thanks for watching.
These hardware sets have 12" minute hands also. I made these clocks at about 27 inches diameter but I would think the hardware could be used up to a 32" clock. But it's all personal preference. I order all my clock hardware off of Amazon. Hope this helps and good luck!
I saw that Michaels has some pre-cut rounds I'm not sure the size that they are but could I use those instead of cutting my own wood cuz I don't have the ability to cut wood right now but I want to make a clock as a Christmas gift?
Sure. I've used a precut round before. The tough part would be routing out the hole for the clock hardware. You either have to be able to cut it out or use very thin material to make the clock. Perhaps you know someone with a router that could help you carve out the hole. I have a video just about cutting the wholes.
@@butterflyent.9266 amzn.to/3tEGn4R You could try hardware like this that sits on top of the face of the clock. It's just gonna be raised about 3/4 inch from the surface. Not cutting would be necessary.
@@butterflyent.9266 amzn.to/3EDwevv Here's some thin wooden rounds on Amazon. You could use any clock hardware with these. Would just need to drill a hole. Good luck!
I've ordered various size clock hardware. I've noticed that the length of the shaft does vary depending on the brand. I've always had to route out at least a half inch of material to allow the threads to show on the front. If you're making a clock out of wood like me, you will have to find a way to remove some material from the back. I have a video specially about a jig I made to route the space out. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching. Here's some links to what I used on these clocks. I'll try to also add these links to the description. amzn.to/3I38m6M amzn.to/3VsZY3k
If it will be a light burn then sanding can come in handy but if I do a heavy burn that will need to be scraped with a wire brush then I like to think the sanding is unnecessary since the burning takes away all the sharp edges.
I have always bought them on Amazon. There are many options for shape and size. I think the hands in this video were 12 inches. It just depends on what size clock you're making. Thanks for watching!
I used 3/4 inch thick common board for these clocks. I routed out about 1/2 Inch for the clock hardware. These two were 27 inch diameter. I still have one above my mantle. Thanks!
Hmm. These clocks didn't have brass numerals. The one featured in the video actually had wooden numerals that I got from Amazon which I stained. The multicolored clock had rope that I pushed through drilled holes and stapled on the back. I'm sure you could find various metal numerals on Etsy. I've gotten some there before. Thanks for watching!
@@OAbbas great idea! It is a little tricky. When I make these clocks with uniform boards, I can almost eyeball it. My main strategy is too make a template or of cardboard using a protractor. I do spend some time in the Michael Jordan clock video explaining a strategy for marking where the numbers go.

Oh. And be sure to check out my clock playlist in case you haven't. 😁
Finally a diy clock
Video! Ty , looks fun and easy to start as a selling ideas

Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Great thumbnail. I clicked this AGAIN because I can't resist big giant clocks.
Yeah, I've gotten a lot of compliments on my big giant clock ever since I posted it.
I spoke to you earlier on the Facebook page awhile ago. I love your videos. I've been binge watching them on my way home. Beautiful work.
Awesome! Thanks for checking them out.
@@wooddoofus I'll be watching more later. I like your work.
@@charlesbosse9669 great thanks!
I love these. Well done and thanks for sharing
Glad you like them! And thanks for watching.
Love the multi color one! 🌸🌺🌸

These are all things that I will look into. I indeed was having trouble with the groove getting jammed.
That's awesome. Great job my man.😎
Wow! Thanks for checking out out!
Great Job. Where did you get large clock motor?
I got it off of Amazon. Thanks for watching! Here's a link. amzn.to/3vcNIwT
Do you have a link for the clock hands parts that you used? Loved your video!
amzn.to/3LVkKGS. This should be it. I guess I should go back and put it in the description. 😂 Thanks!

You missed showing how you attached the clock numbers!! and where you get the numbers!! do they come with the clock mechanism?
Sorry bout that. I got the numbers and the mechanism from Amazon. I basically glued them down with wood glue. Then I put the clear coat on of polyurethane. Thanks for watching.
What color is that all bluish one, I like that.
It's called vintage aqua by varathane. I got it home Depot. Thanks for watching!
Hi How long are the arms and where did you find them? I only find 12” for the minute. That’s the longest. Thank yiu

@@wooddoofus can I use cutout tool vs. a router?

You make this one to replace the busted one in the office?
Yep, now that you're gone, I don't have to worry about those violent clock related outbursts.😅
What size shaft is on the clock movement mechanism? I am working with a 1" thick clock and the one I bought is to short.

what color stain did you use for the one in your right hand? (the horizontal boards)
That was a varathane stain called "vintage aqua". Thanks for watching!
Do you have any links we can buy clock mechanise and letters pls
Thanks for watching. Here's some links to what I used on these clocks. I'll try to also add these links to the description.

Do you send the surface before you burn it?

Clock mechanism, where to buy and what size?
I have always bought them on Amazon. There are many options for shape and size. I think the hands in this video were 12 inches. It just depends on what size clock you're making. Thanks for watching!
I need know what inch wood ??
I used 3/4 inch thick common board for these clocks. I routed out about 1/2 Inch for the clock hardware. These two were 27 inch diameter. I still have one above my mantle. Thanks!
hermoso trabajo, felicidades lo haré!!
Buena suerte. Graciás por ver!

Thanks for finding it here! I need to do an updated video for clock making.

You are risking your deputy status!
@@wooddoofus where do you buy your tools from

Good call! Thanks.
