Round table upcycled to a wall clock

I got a round table without legs from a lady and I remembered I clipped this idea of a table turned into a clock. I bought a battery operated high torque clock movement and turned the table into a wall clock. I made the stencils for the roman numerals because it was easier and less work than the regular numbers. I downloaded the numbers from the internet and printed them on a plastic paper used for scrap booking.
I have so much wall space I needed something large. I got tired of the mirror leaning against the wall. There is an electrical outlet over the fireplace for a TV but we would never put a TV over the fireplace. We like the fireplace as it is and we don't want the TV to distract. The clock was a perfect solution and it is up and we don't have to go to the stove in the kitchen to check the time.

Renata on Jan 24, 2015Something else you could have done for that space is wood glue and clamps. Then you wouldn't see the space at all. I have been looking for a big clock for a gift for my bro in law Didn't think of doing this. Great Idea that I am gonna steal...lol I must have missed something because I didn't see where you got the arms for the clock?? I have a huge clock that the arms are bent and I can't seem to get them straightened enough to work properly
