My Second Clock.
The following is a run down of my second clock.
I had a soso piece of Huon that was 40 odd mm thick and I decided to split it with a handsaw. After planing i was left with about 20mm thickness.
The clock face was coated with 3 coats of shellac and wax.
The Mechanism was from GPW and came with the usual numbers and hands as a set. I felt the numbers looked rather uninteresting against the pale colour of the Huon so I ditched them.
I took some scrap blue glass and fused it with orange glass in the center x 12 of course.
Not quite finished yet. I have to drill the hole and life is groovy. Damien.I'm a dancing fool! The beat goes on and I'm so wrong!!!!

Wendy, Thanks for the compliment. The clock looks better in reality as I'm a sh**house phototype bloke.

Yonnee, the crucuble is the white container that you usually melt metal in. 11mins in the MW and cooling time is about 1hr and then finished.
