Nice job well done. The rubber washer is supposed to be installed on the back side of the clock. It helps the grip between the mechanism and clock, to prevent over tightening with the nut.
Thanks Robert! I did realize my mistake at some point.
I remember when I was a kid in the seventies and a guy down the street used to use a chainsaw and cut up dead trees and make clocks out of them with gold letters that were gorgeous. He was getting $100 a pop for them and could make several a day, they sold like hotcakes. 100$ was actually worth something in the seventies too.
When you install the hands on a clock make sure that you line them all up on 12:00 so that the hour hand will always point in the correct area and you will also be able to verify that the hands will not hit each other.
These clocks turned out AMAZING!! Love that template - awesome work!
Thanks for the compliments TB Team!
awww geez , its you again. good job , i liked it
Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to ordering and trying this!
So glad we could inspire!
That was very helpful thank you
Great video and I just purchased the template, can't wait to use it. Thanks for the great tips.
You are welcome William. Thank you for your business.
Great designs. Nice upgrade to the template. Love your videos, thanks for taking your time to create them and your molds and templates.
Thanks Linda. We try to make the effort to help people succeed with our products. Stay well.
As someone else has said the rubber washer goes between the movement and the case/dail the single straight marks that you made are called battons ,clock movements come in shaft lengths from 8 to30 millimetres glad to see you used the hand set knob to set the time rather than the hands ,by the way I'm a watch and clock maker
Interesting video. Thanks for sharing.
No problem Claude!
Perfecto
Excelente Trabalho
Great job 👽👍
Thanks for saying so!
That was really cool the templates are nice I just subscribed also
The rubber washer goes over the shaft on the mechanism, not on the clock face. It acts as a grip between the wood/resin and the mechanism.
Thanks Ben for clarifying. These kits don't seem to come with instructions so it was a best guess scenario.
I made a resin and wood clock and I used the table saw to turn it round.
Спасибо
Great video. Idk if u know this but liquid latex is awesome for flood coating resin it comes off so easy
Yes, someone actually had mentioned that in the past and I do mention that in the flood coating video we have here on RUclips, but definitely a good thing to point out.
Sean, nice work as always buddy. I loved what you did ofnthe resin clock. You have just inspired me to get off of my butt and start doing more projects. Have you ever thought of doing a head and foot board of a bedroom? I love your work my good man.
Thanks Cliff. The headboard and footboard would be cool, but we focus on items we can make with the molds and templates we offer, as our main business is selling these to help makers, not making stuff ourselves... if that makes sense?
@@CraftedElements Shawn, yes it makes total sense. Keep up the AWESOME/AMAZING work that you do....I enjoy watching your videos
how do you ship with the clock hour/minutes and second arms on the clock don't they get damaged with being so fragile.
Ca you get blanks and cut to size
Wat kinds of poxy company you used
What was the router bit that was being used for this? I’m having trouble finding the right bit, but I am certain I am doing something wrong.
It was one of these: www.amazon.com/Amana-45475-S-Carbide-Tipped-Bearing/dp/B001PTZLAO or www.amazon.com/Amana-Tool-MiniatureFlush-Template1-SHKCarbide/dp/B00PV8UV5U
For easier reading, the 12, 3, 6 and 9 would be better in a different color.
Makes sense! Next time?
If you don't have all the fancy equipment can you just hand sand it with a grit until it's smooth? I do not have a plainer or or any other equipment. I want to make a resin clock with numbers on it instead of the little grooves
In short. YES. You could fill the resin just to to the top, then use low to high grits to level it out. It just takes much longer.
which router bit did you use to do the inlays?
For pocketing, resin backfills, or wood inlays a handheld plunge router is recommended. Wood inlay templates (such as bow ties and butterflies) require an inlay kit with a spacer bushing, such as the Whiteside 9500 Solid Brass Inlay Kit. For general pocketing and recesses use the Amana Tool 45983 (1/2“) radiused bit, Amana Tool 45460-S (1/2”), 45475-S (3/8”) or 47224-S (1/4”) straight bits or similar router bits.
where can i buy the plastic template for the clock? I would like to make a watch like this too

Здравствуйте, где можно заказать такой шаблон.
How did you clean that small squeeze bottle you used to apply the epoxy? I got your 12" acrylic template and want to get started on making a clock(s). Also, do you know the product name/number for the clock mechanism?
I didnt clean it, its tossed after using it. They come in a 15 or 20 pack on Amazon, are relatively inexpensive. There are MANY clock mechs on Amazon. They are generally the same size so the brand doenst matter, however the "long thread" one I use in this video is here: www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0719B5DV3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
@@CraftedElements Thank you! Keep the videos coming. There great!!!!!!
@@duaneheda9628 You are most welcome
thought the rubber washer went on the other side of the shaft
Someone else mentioned that as well. It likely does. I didn't get instructions with the kit so I was guessing.
Meniscus.....it has a name??? I just call it that shitty bit that's left over each time. Thanks for all your videos, they are really informative 👍
Bahahah~ Sorry I took fluid dynamics in University. So yeah... it has a name... LOL
Great videos. But. You move your hands constantly while showing items. Please keep items you want to display or show to camera , still. Ty.
I don't expect to hear back from you guys, but your links in the description are tagged or linked or something with RUclips, and the links time out. Don't load. I can't even copy the links and attempt to pull them up on another platform (such as Chrome). Are your links broken? Are you guys DOA? What's up?
I'm 6:30 into this video, and I won't bother to watch the rest of it due to useless links to the products you list. What's the point? If I can't source your stuff, why watch the whole video?
I dont know what to say because i just clicked through 6 random links in the video description, and they all worked fine for me.
@@CraftedElements Thanks for your reply. Must be something wonky in my computer-- this has never happened before. Very strange...
you are moor speach
