How to make a giant rustic wall clock
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- I show you how to make a really large rustic wall clock from reclaimed pallet wood and a clock movement found on amazon. This project requires a Pallet, a hammer, a jig saw, a drill, some solid stain or paint, a clock movement, some clock hands, and some picture hanging wire.
The clock movement and hands can be found here:

The OOK hangers can be found here:

I've found great e-book on wood prix. Good solutions for everyone I think.
Awesome solution Verla!
Really good plans
@@gregrandol2801 I love that
Another way to locate the numerals is to temporarily install the movement and hands. Then just crank the minute hand around and when its at 12, the hour hand will be pointing to the correct location for the number.
Great tip, Bob. Tom Howbridge suggested that too. Definitely seems like the simplest way to do it! If I had only thought if that when I was making the clock...
Great looking clock. I love it. I did not notice the music, so I guess that it was a great choice as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for the video.
That's pretty dope I like it
Loving the clock William! Everyone loves a good pallet wood project!
That is giant! Well done William!
+Make Something Thank you, David!
Nice
loved it and loved the music. OK to use clock outdoors? one would look good on our garden wall. happy new year from Eastbourne UK
+Barry Parks I just checked the specs on that particular clock movement. It unfortunately can't be used outside. The pallet wood and solid stain would be fine, just not the mechanics. You might be able to replace the movement with one that could be used outside. Thanks for watching!
Anything pallet is just awesome! Im thinking of making something similar but on a smaller scale. I found some parts at www.clockparts.com hope it works out. Thanks for the video.
Another great video!
Hey man, is that the shop fox classic fence you are using? If so, I'm considering purchasing one in the next few days. How do you like yours?
BTW: just a thought, you might be able to install the clock at the 12' position move the minute hand one full revolution and use the hour hand to reference where to paint each number.
+ZH Fabrications Hey, yep. It's a Grizzly cabinet saw so they come with the Shop Fox fences (same company/factory/owner). I had upgraded to the longer rails though. I like it a lot. It locks down really well and doesn't jump off the mark when you lock it. It's super easy to adjust for parallel with the set screws. My fence had about a 10 thousandth bow in the middle. I called Grizzly and they suggested using aluminum foil as a shim in between the HDPE face and the rail beam. Now it's straight as an arrow.
+ZH Fabrications Oh and yeah, some other folks recommended moving the clock hands too. It seems so simple in hindsight!
Great looking clock. I'm going to start building one .Thanks
New sub here. Awesome build. Love to see projects that a relatively new woodworker can actually accomplish. Nice video work too.
I like what you're doing. Enjoyed the video/editing. Music was good, too. :)
+Stone and Sons Workshop Thanks man! Means a lot!
I like how you mention alternative tools.
There's always more than one way to do something so I try to offer alternative methods for those that might not have a certain tool that I choose to use. Thanks for watching!

FIND A BIG PAPER AND FOLD IT IN 3 TO GET 30 degrees protractor... actually an A3 and some straight edges would be okay.
Please make another giant clock making video using a different type of wood... Your style of presentation is totally superb and im starting a business making giant clocks like this. They are a hit here in Africa where im watching you from. Thanx a lot man 👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you. This is exactly what I want to make, have no router or table saw, just like you. Thank you! 🙏 🙂
Домой такие перебор ... вот бурёнкам на входе повесить , самое то ... )))🌝🌝🌝
I'm making a clock with 5 ft and half spool! Any suggestions before I get to that? The middle hole is 3 1/2inches wide. How to hide it and where to buy large enough hands...
This is really cool! If you are ever looking for more farmhouse style clock ideas, we have just launched our new hands of time memory clocks. :) You can check them out here on our living home style blog: livinghomestyle.com/hands-time-memory-clock/
Great video, best I've seen on here in terms of clock making. What size numbers did you use??
+Michael Kopacko I'm not sure the exact size numbers but these are the exact numbers I used: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JG9M1K8/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00JG9M1K8&linkCode=as2&tag=wmwalcom-20&linkId=ZJR2SIGGUQYFX3XY
Love the background music buddy! What song is that? And nice clock bro.
I've heard good feedback about the Woodglut plans.
Very nice project William! And the video is really well done too :)
I just think it doesn’t look good that you put the number in the very edge for such a big clock. And the minute hand is to long, but we got the idea.👍🏻
This time I will use Woodglut plans for this.
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
I like Roman Numerals better but I love the pallet idea.
This helped me..I plan on making a 11" square one. I did not know how to carve out the back for the little box. I am gonna try..need a router, might borrow one. THANKS
Glad I could help!
Good job. I make these clocks for clients that I do remodels for. Check out my profile pic. A router works best for me to cut out the shape though. Scroll saws suck. Haha
+Jack Mahoff I'll have to try that next time. I always think there is a better tool for the job but then usually end up reaching for my jigsaw because it's easy. Thanks for watching!
Very cool! Thanks!
Nice,cool,creative.....what about adding stains to the wood ...wouldn't is look more catchy...but I did loved ur work...
Thanks Ali. You could definitely add stain to the wood. I'm not big on staining but that's more of an aesthetic choice. Our house has a lot of neutrals and grays so I liked the faded weathered wood look for our wall. Thanks for watching!
nice job, came out great. awesome (clock) hands.
+Miter Mike's Woodshop hahaha you don't think I could be a hand model?
Would love it with a white wash of colour
nice job dude.........................
Good!♡ so beautiful!
The clock looks GREAT! Would I be able to purchase one?
Thanks Danielle! What area are you in? I fear shipping might be an issue.
I like the clock and loved your rough and ready approach - it made the project seem much more achievable than watching somebody using lots of fancy kit! I'd prefer no music on these 'How to' videos and don't understand why everybody seems to have it. This music was ok but it was a bit loud.
Thank you for your feedback. I've since learned the art of sound design and have toned down the music. Music can tend to draw a viewer to watch longer. Think of it like an elevator, department store, or restaurant. To create ambiance so you spend more money. In my case it's adsense dollars.
A other way of finding where to put the numbers is FIRST install the clock and it's hands.... make the 2 hands face the same way, BOOM there's 12! Now just turn your minute hand and every time it hits the 12 put a mark and there's ALL your numbers, EXACTLY..... again...BOOM
Great ! Another way to mark out the other numbers would be to try it out time it for the numbers !
that's a brilliant idea! great tip!
Well done video. Complete explanation without lots of words and time not related to the actual project. Good background music that does not distract. Thanks for the useful information.
Glad you found it useful!
LOVE THIS!!!! Keep making videos. I will be making a clock now after watching your thorough video! Thanks
Great job! Only thing I'd have done is make the centre timber central, may have given you odd end pieces though.
+James Stimpson that would have been a nice design change. Thanks for watching!
Muhteşem .
Where did you get the clock hands and the clock movement? I'm doing something similar and I'm having a hard time finding hands that are long enough.
AAAAAAAND I just looked at your link that states exactly where you got these things. Just gotta open my eyes.
That is an amazing clock. Pallet wood makes beautiful projects.. thanks for sharing
I feel like a jerk now, but the new music is much better. The clock looked good and your video production is on point.
+z dubs hahahaha don't feel like a jerk! I honestly got a great laugh from your comment before. And hey, it inspired change right? I'm not too proud to hear constructive criticism and implement new thoughts. Worst thing that would've happened is other people saying they didn't like the new music. Thanks for watching!
hi Will! What a great project! Someone gave me a 36" round oak tabletop. It's quite weathered.... and thanks to your video, it will soon become a fabulous distressed clock! Thanks!
very nice man , I like it
Nice project and good video. Thanks for sharing.
Where did you get the stencils with numbers from?
Did you not put any laquer (matte) on the wood?
nice work!! BTW, can you tell me the website you used to get motor and hands?
+Tom Brown there should be a link in the video description
Love the video and the music! I am about to start on my 36: clock and you've given me some confidence. Thanks for the great vid! P.S. LOVE the 'pro tip!'
So nice i like
Admittedly, I was skeptical when I saw that you were using pallet wood but I was pleasantly surprised. The clock looks fantastic!
Looks awesome and is a huge help. I am just about to make a 48" one for a friend and was looking for a large enough movement to use so thanks for that. Also was worried about how to get it to fit in the back since I am using 1x4's. Great work and super helpful. And music wasn't bad either!!!!!
Thanks for the instructions on making a clock. A 36 inch clock will be ideal. I know I'll have to watch this video several times to catch all the steps but this is going to be fun and will definitely make a very personalized gift.
Thank you for making this video. My husband and I will be tackling this project next weekend when all our materials come in. I want to paint mine red and then give it a distressed look. So question: do I stain the wood first, paint it red and then use sand paper? Do you recommend using a polyurethane after stenciling the letters to make the look last?
Great idea! Excellent work! I'd like to know what type of of mechanism u used behind the clock. Is there a better mechanism than the Chinese make?
Nice clock! When determining number placement, you may have found it less stressful to measure the circumference and divide this by 11 to get the spacing between numbers.
Loved it! One question: does the clock kit allow for a thicker wood to be used? I'm thinking of using at least 3/4" to 1" and want to know if it can work. Thanks
Pretty cool video and nice project!
+Humus Woodwork Thank you so much
Great video/tuition. You moved it along at just the right speed and explained it all in a simple way. I wanted to make a clock, and its given me the confidence to have a go thanks. Oh and the music's good! Pinned it too!
Nice!
I looked back through the questions and answers others have asked but didn't see where anyone had asked you this question. Can you please tell me how far you came up from the bottom to put the support strip? Thanks
I want to make an absolute ENORMOUS wall clock!
That clock is awesome! Gave me some great ideas for my shop. (once I clean out some space for it) Music is nice too. Who were you playing?
Thanks for taking the "TIME" teaching me something I've been wanting to do 😀
very complex
Thank you for all of the great detail provided in the video. Also by sharing exactly what your tools / products are you make it easier to make one ourselves
cool stuff bro
I am sure you will find a good way to do this on the woodglut website.
love this video! perfect tutorial! i happen to have the same stencils, would the number size look good if i were to do a 24in clock instead? Thank you!
Great project Bill, it would look great also done in a paint wash for hanging on a darker background.
Great video. Like the clock and your channel.
Thanks Clester!
Do u recommend a high torque movement for this size clock?
Excellent Job, project and video !
+Saw Dust Thank you! Great user name by the way.
Thank you for sharing! Beautiful!!!
Great Clock. My daughter has gone all Magnolia, and she -clearly- needs a giant clock for her wall.
Looks great,working on a wall clock from a old elm log disk . Love this kind of stuff ,stay safe .
Love it!
Nice job
Love it
Thanks
Hey man, I'm only saying this because you have specifically asked for opinions, so I have a small one! The music, wicked cool vibe, but for any musically minded person who can't help gleaning every melody and rhythm like it's at top volume and in their face (however quietly played), hearing the same loop going round for up to 8 or nine minutes is going to drive them insane. I had to mute one of your newer videos after hearing the same little tune on loop for 6 minutes straight this morning, which is a real shame as your narration is brilliant! That's all I have to say constructively.l, your videos are great! It's a nothing thing to some, but to others it will keep them hesitant over watching your newer videos. A suggestion to remedy/refine the music in videos thing is to change the music for different parts of a build, or by having sections where there is no music at all, less is more etc. Great stuff though man, please keep sharing! I mean none of this negatively!
+Jon Hammond I take no constructive criticism negatively! I welcome it (ya know as long as it's still creative and not just trolling). I feel like audio has been my biggest hurdle and other people have mentioned it too. I'm still working on how I "score" my videos. I'm going to start experimenting a little more with levels, tracks, and omitting music here and there. I really do appreciate your feedback. That's the only way we grow, right? By listening to others and taking into consideration the thoughts of the viewers, I can only strive to get better moving forward. Thank you!
+Wm. Walker Co. Exactly :) you nailed it. We all only grow creatively, truly, by challenge, but we are all obligated to challenge with integrity, care for others and encouragingly. Love what you're doing man, looking forward to what you do next.
Sweet .
Nice video. Nice project. Keep it up.
+Sam Schroeder I'll do my best :)
I've made me one for my kitchen but haven't added the clock hands yet. My question is how did you measure in between numbers with the tape measure my clock is 32 inchs with Roman numerals all I have is 12 3 6 & 9 on it so far. I'm scared to mess it up!
Great question! I did a lot of trial and error with a tape measure and pencil but, some people commented a better way. Add your clock hands temporarily, set it to 12 o'clock, and turn the hands marking every spot on the hour. I.e.spin the clock until the minute hand reaches 12, mark 1 o'clock on the hour hand, spin the minute hand around again to the top of the hour, mark 2 o'clock, etc.
+Wm. Walker Co. thank you! Great video by the way I used pallet wood for mine as well! My brother asked me to make him one so I started his today!!! Im glad I found your video!
Your video was so soothing and very informative, learn a lot. I will be making one real soon
nice job, I like the music
+Glen Turner thank you Glen. Glad to know the music is making a difference.
Excellent !!!!
That looks great! Nice job
I'm glad you like it!
Very nice.
Always so well produced!
Cool clock. I liked the video.
+Bruce A. Ulrich Thanks Bruce.
Great video, love the music😊👍
I like the clock, but I think the numbers are too close to the edge.
Hey, awesome videos. Where did you order the arms from? You might have said it but I missed it.
+James Byrnes There was a link buried in the description. Here it is: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IZMTBPA/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00IZMTBPA&linkCode=as2&tag=wmwalcom-20&linkId=EXSXIE7VFR46266A
+James Byrnes And thank you!
+Wm. Walker Co. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. Truly appreciate it. Looking forward to making this one.
where do you get your mechanisms?
+Courtney Skjerven amazon. there should be a link in the video description.
Very cool.........you have gained my subscription.
Yes, a 2x2 for the back would have been wiser. Plus you could probably design it into a french cleat for hanging the clock as well.
Again, well done.
ah yes! a french cleat would have been pretty clever.
cool...love the patina and weathered look...
