I love how the dark clock hands contrast against the distressed white clock and the numbers are somewhere in the middle with that grey touch 🙂 By the way, here’s a sneak peek at another project I will be posting soon 😉 But, it also looks good just resting on a console table leaning against the wall. The movement itself has a hanger included to make hanging on the wall very easy. Place the clock movement in the hole and make sure it fits.įollow the instructions with the clock movement to attach the clock hands onto the front of the wood clock. Route out the wood inside the traced shape. Put a straight bit in your router and set the depth to the thickness of the movement. Place the shaft in the hole and trace around the movement. Drill a larger hole in the center that will accommodate the shaft in the clock movement. Take the clock back out to the shop and flip it upside down. Step 4: Route out hole for clock movement Once your numbers are on, you can add a personal touch by adding your name or some other wording using the same technique. Tape it in place using masking or painters tape.
Then use a straight edge to line up the center hole and each mark and place the middle of your number along this line. Mark on the clock with a pencil the 30, 60, and 90 degree mark on the square. Drill a small hole in the middle of the clock for reference then line up the straight edge of speed square with the joint in the middle of the clock and the center hole. To make sure your numbers are lined up correctly, use a speed square and a straight edge to line everything up so there are 30 degrees between all the numbers. Just print out your numbers MIRRORED on an ink jet printer and follow this tutorial. This is also how I did my letters on the clock coffee table. I used this technique for applying the numbers to the clock. Step 3: Add Roman Numerals to the DIY Clock I stained mine in Minwax Provincial, then dry brushed on white paint and used sandpaper to distress some spots. Sand the wood round and finish as desired. Step 2: Finish the DIY clock with paint or stain But it might actually be easier to just draw the circle and use a jig saw.Įither way you do it, just get the circle cut 🙂 This was the middle piece leftover from this frame.Īfter gluing and clamping the boards together, I cut the middle out using a router and a circle jig.
This piece was actually left from when I attempted to make a round wooden mirror frame for our bathroom remodel, but instead went with the floating mirror shelf. You could also use ¾″ pocket holes and 1 ¼″ pocket hole screws to attach the boards instead.
I made my clock about 34″ diameter, so I cut pieces about 36″ long. Thank you for your support!Ĭut four 1×10 boards a little longer than you want your clock diameter.

So, if you’re ready to get to making one, here’s what you need: Unfortunately, I made it for some friends and it had their name on it, so it just made sense to give it up haha.Äoes it look familiar, though? Does it remind you of my DIY clock coffee table? It’s basically the same thing with different functions! So anyway, isn’t this clock gorgeous?! I mean, I know I am a little biased, but I really wanted to keep it. That was worse than that pick up line about did it hurt when you fell from heaven? Have you heard that one before? Yeah, that never worked for anyone hahaha. I know, that was a super cheesy introduction.
