    Have you ever picked up something left on the curb? In today’s video, I upcycle an old grandfather clock I found on the side of the road-using all of its parts in four different projects. I love with how these projects turned out and how I have given an abandoned clock a new purpose in my home!

    Sherry, you deserve an award for the BEST UPCYCLER! Nobody I've seen doing projects with found objects on RUclips can come close to your creations. And what an unbelievable find! Who just throws out a grandfather clock like this in such decent condition....? You pulled together such a beautiful and unique creation from this clock. You are #1!!!!

    To paraphrase William Blake....The hours of folly are measured by the clock; but of creativity and beauty, no clock can measure... Yours is the exception! Lovely.🥰

    So so sorry to hear of your unfortunate accident….it’s very generous of you to share your experience so that others can learn from it (must be the teacher in you!). I pray your ankle heals quickly and completely…..and, oh, the clock redo was spectacular. It makes me wonder if your neighbors put out items thinking “Let’s see what Sherry can do with that!” Be well.

    Sherry, this video recycling a grandfather clock was delivered at the perfect time for me. In my latest military move, my grandfather clock was damaged beyond repair. So this project is perfect to repurpose the pendulum, the heavy weights, and clock face. Thanks for the great idea. Shellie

I walked away from one in a Goodwill store thinking I could not remake it into anything salvageable. All I can say is wow!!!! I have a small area in my family room where I have an inexpensive ladder bookcase that needs to be replaced. The hunt is on! Thank you for the inspiration! This would look amazing in that room!

    @thechickincharge1073 Год назад +1

    That turned out amazing! The color is so vibrant and I think the gold accents make the face seem like a show piece. I have had many a near accident looking for yard sales and curb shopping. I am so sorry that happened to you! It is so hard not to over react when you get back in the car after an accident. I totaled a gorgeous red truck driving in a storm. I was at a stop sign afraid to move because the rain storm was so heavy I couldn’t see anything right in front of me. People behind me were mad because I was just sitting and they kept honking their horn. I was a complete nervous wreck! After a full 5-10 minutes of sitting I let my foot off the break without touching the gas and tried to ease on the highway and was hit immediately. I was a jumpy driver for almost a year afterwards. I wasn’t hurt though, praise Abba! I am thankful it was only your ankle, Sherry! This project was amazing and you give me so much courage to step out and try new things!

    • @CanterburyCottage
      @CanterburyCottage  Год назад

      Oh, thank you! I hate driving in storms. It is so frightening when you can barely see anything! I’m so glad you weren’t seriously hurt. Because I couldn’t drive for six weeks while my ankle healed, I was a nervous wreck when I finally got behind the wheel again.
