Wooden Clock
Always know what time it is by creating this Basswood Clock. It stands perfectly on any desk in the house or at work!
Step By Step Instructions
Step 1
Begin by tracing the numbers onto the bass wood, on all four sides, as you can see in the image. You can purchase basswood at a craft store. Add an X in the middle of the wood to help keep the numbers centered, and to mark where a hole will be drilled in a later step.
Step 2
Next, using the Dremel VersaTip, burn the numbers into the wood.
Step 3
Then, drill a hole in the center where the X is marked for the clock movement arbor. We clamped down the wood we are working with and backed it with scrap wood to avoid a blow out.
Step 4
Following the clock movement’s instructions, secure it to the back of the wood. Then, flip the clock over and add the hands, still following the clock movement’s instructions.
Step 5
Lastly, cut a block out of scrap wood using the Dremel Ultra-Saw. Glue the top half of the block under the clock movement to add support and create a stand. Once the glue has dried, the clock is ready to be displayed on a desk!
