Elm clock

[brody2123]

Had a rather unusual wind up of 2014. My moms heart attack has knocked me for six and I'm in a funny mood at the moment. I made this yesterday, in between going to work twice. Was going to put the numbers on and then just stopped. You have to really look at this to tell the time and for me it's a reminder that time itself is precious and too often dismissed. So the numbers are staying off this one as a reminder.
Besides, there's no battery in it yet so it's only right twice a day:wink:

Hi, Brody - I agree, your clock is a poignant reminder of how precious our time is. We should be less casual on how we spend it. Chin up, matey!

Hope your mam is soon well Brody. I like the clock, it looks good. Just remember, everyone's got an expirey date. Make the most of what you've got.

Hi Brody, I'm new to the forum - so hello for the first time. Sorry to hear about your Mum, I hope she makes a full recovery. As well as been new to the forum I am also new to turning. All I have made on the lathe is pens, but I have ordered some clock parts to do something similar to yours, but without the fancy green rim. Can I ask how you did that please? It looks great.

Cheers Froggy.

I'm sorry to learn about your mother Brody. I hope she makes a speedy recovery. As to numbers, they're only for the anully retentive anyway. Your clock says about ten to six, and that's good enough unless you happen work for NASA. I LIKE clocks without numbers

A great question Tim but Brody is the master of experiment you may have to expect an answer your weren't prepared for, just a warning to you.

He probably used mild cheddar and left it in the firms bog till it formed a crust, then cast in acrylic, ground it to a powder and subjected it through water vapour to 40,000 volts at the power station which crystallised it.
Sprayed the whole blank with the resulting liquid when mixed with cellulose lacquer, through a portaflek gun then turned it leaving just a ring of crud in the pre-made recess.

That's our Brody init?
Love im.
