Futurehero2009 Dang man your quick, We had a bet that it would take a couple hundred views before anyone noticed. Still no one has on facebook. dont tell.
Apparently I bought the wrong size shaft. I don't have a woodshop like you and used a dremel (rotary tool) and it's still not working....sooo, I need a different size shat OR thickness of wood! Suggestions "wood" be helpful..ha! ha!
So I ended up here trying to 1) find the best way to slice up a cherry tree log that I have which has been drying for about a year and 2) to make a clock or two out of the slices. I have a Shapeoko XXL so wanting to make some signs out of it as well. Instead of sanding, would it not be ok to put it thru a planer? I don't have a large enough bandsaw so still trying to figure out how to cut some 13-18" logs into slices. A chainsaw may be my only option. Thinking I can flatten it on the shapeoko or use a router planer jig then run the final side thru the planer after filling with colored epoxy. Thanks for any feedback.
New to your channel. Beautiful clock, although I think you need more coffee before you make the next one since the 2 was forgotten for the 12 mark. ;-) But wonderful job with the build and video.
Ah who cares if the numbers are messed up. It's always beer 30! LOL Great project, and nice use of the dyed epoxy, it turned out awesome with the gold contrasting with the wood. I keep seeing people using their x-carves, I can't wait to get mine up and running! Should be starting the build tomorrow.
Am Not going to knock you like those others as I have just started doing some clocks from cookies and the problem I get is the cookie cracking, so I have been soaking the cookie in engine oil - which is cheaper than using linseed oil, or any other high recommended oils which is so expensive when the wood is so dry and thirsty, then I either French polish it or use some clear lacquer or some resin to create a fine gloss to the surface of the clock! Nice work shop!
thanks for being so vocally informative your video is great
I made one similar for my mom for Mother's Day! Slab was from a tree from my childhood home. 20 years ago we cut it down.
That looks great, could I ask you how did you hang it on a wall
I'm no clock expert, but shouldn't it be a 12 at the top? You know, in the 12 o'clock position?

omg stop i almost died laughing, didnt even notice it until i read your comment
I came looking for this comment. :D Nice clock still but don't try to sell this one. :D
Do you have to dry the wood for a year per inch?
Does the slab have to be dried any period of time.
Still a really nice looking clock..
Which size of sand paper should I used for surface finish
Very nice!

where do you get the clock movement parts
Hobby Lobby
Looking to make one. Could you put the slab through a thickness planer Or would there be to much tear out because of the grain??

What size. Bits did you use? thank you
Is it just me or did he put a 1 instead of 12 at the top of the clock?
I caught that too 😂
You should play with the next one and put 1, 4, 7, and 11.
how mucj the clock cost?
