How to Make a Wooden Clock

Watch formed in the body of the tree need not be expensive. Handyman can assemble their own hands, at a cost significantly less than for the purchase of the finished product. If you make such a clock high quality, they will not look worse than the factory.

Calculate the forces. Depending on your existing skills, or fabricate the body clock completely from scratch, or take the finished wooden box. The size and layout of the boxes depend on the requirements for you to watch. Watches can be small or large, vertically or horizontally. The watch case is required to have a front wall that opens to the side, and the lock of the wall. It may be, for example, an ordinary magnetic latch.

For the manufacture of the dial, use a sheet of thin steel. Cut out of the plate it desired dimensions. In the middle drill the hole for the mounting thread mechanism. Paint the sheet in a light color, let the paint dry, and then gently apply the division and numbers, using ink and pen. Strengthen mechanisms with the help of regular nuts and washers (if any), and put the arrow so that all of them were aimed at the division corresponding to 12 hours. Note that in the wooden watch second hands are usually absent, so do not install this arrow.

Using the jigsaw, and cut a hole in the hull, the size of a little less than the face. Place around the perimeter molding, and on the reverse side - glass. Secure dial mechanism together with the front wall from the back side at a distance of about one centimeter on its surface. For this purpose, together with screws, washers and nuts use rigid tube, for example, cut from the pen housing. Make sure that the front wall can be opened and closed together with the mechanism. Install the battery in the clock, and then set the current time, close the front wall and put on the table clocks, cupboards, etc.
