Thread: Wall clock - how to allow hanging?

I use a brass washer the has a keyhole slot cut into it, think I got to them from Carrols.

Thanks Acco - looks good! Is the washer recessed into the clock at all, or does the little protrusion not really show up? Sure looks pretty flat on the wall from your picture.

No, just nailed straight onto the surface with I think from memory either a 16mm or 20mm hole under the washer

I used a keyhole router bit for doing mine.

The clocks that I turned in the past I have done an undercut on the back.

You can buy things called sawtooth hanger brackets on eBay which will do the job.

I ended up relying on a bit of an undercut, with a small hole drilled at an angle as a second option. Happy with the clock - simple shape, but very pretty if I do say so myself!

As it turns out, I was ordering some more clock bits from the good folks at Let's Make Time and grabbed some of these at the same time:

Added one to that last clock as another more flexible mounting option (please ignore the mismatched screws, I didn't have anything better around):
