Wooden Gear Wall Clock
2 Materials

Easy
There has been a project on my to-do list for quite some time now and I found the perfect reason to get it done. There is a little room off of the back of my garage that has been turned into my small workshop. The walls have been painted, I added some cabinets, but it just still needed something. In comes the wooden gear wall clock. This not only adds a little character to the room, it really helps me keep track of time. There have been several days spent out there hours at a time. It's really easy to lose track of time when you are doing something you love

Using the template, I cut out the gear shape on the scroll saw.
Then, using the drill press, I cut out the holes for the clock mechanism to fit through. A small hole needs to be cut on the front, and a larger space in the back to fit the battery operated piece.
After the holes were cut out and the clock kit fit, I sanded the entire project and stained it.
I assembled the clock kit according to the kit's directions, added the hanging hardware and it was done!
I really enjoyed this project and plan on making another clock very soon. This is a great project for anyone wanting to add a little character to their workspace.
