Pallet Wood Clock
1 Material
$5
2 Hours
Medium
I had a old steel ring sitting around and i thought it would make a good clock.
I thought I would try and use up lots of bits I had already for this project.
I started by ripping down some strips of pallet wood down to random widths.
I tested to see if I had enough to fit the ring.
As you can see I had a collection of stains of stains and waxes that I wanted to use up on this project.
I gave all the strips a sand down.
I stained all the strips, using as many colours as I could.
I arranged the strips into a random looking patten. Then I applied some glue to the edge.
The strips could then be glued and clamped together.
When the glue had dried it was time to cut the circle out. At first I planned for the wood to sit inside the metal ring but changed my mind and wanted it to sit on the wood.
I used a router to cut it out but a bandsaw or jigsaw would work.
The ring just got held into place with some epoxy. This is going to hang on a wall and not get a lot of wear and tear so this is more than strong enough.
When the epoxy had dried I could drill a hole though the centre. The router jig had left a mark where the centre was. I could then fit the clock moment.
