Can relate to what you see after it has been made, and what it then becomes Brody, i wish your Mum a speedy recovery .. The clock is bang on my friend ..

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.

I thought that was how he did it

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.

Cheers Tim. It's just a groove cut with a parting tool then I used inlace nuggets from Turners Retreat covered with thin ca glue

Love the sentiment behind the clock without the numbers. Will you be giving this to your mum. Well turned and finished as usual.

Hope your mum has a speedy recovery.
