Christmas Clocks from scraps

I like the radio and the clocks too.

Sorry the photos are blurry. I was bending over to get them at eye level. I should have sat on a chair, but I didn’t have time to make one. As always, bbqKing.

I was hoping the radio was a clock too! I love old style radios, and find there is much inspiration in them. The clocks are nice.

Thanks for the laugh about not having time to make a chair.

Beautiful clocks and the best use of scraps.
I like the one at the far right, you need my address? LOL.

Nice clocks. But some of the wood could have been used for smoking. SO it was not scraps.

Dad had a smoker that we cooked with logs. It was great with apple wood. So I made one and I usually used OAK, because I couldn’t find any apple.

Karson- I had forgotten about your bbq challenge till I read your post. Sadly it will have to wait till after the first of the year since I have used my vacation time till then. Unbelievably, I am not retired, although I have attempted it in the past. I got away with it once for nearly a year and a half, then my wife found out! It has not worked out for me since. I always use 10 lbs of charcoal to bring my smoker up to heat, then burn a hickory fire at about 200-210 degrees. The last 2-3 hours I switch to apple or peach, for a sweeter finish. Of course I eat the ribs after about as long as I can stand it while I finish cooking the rest, usually shoulder, Boston butt, or tenderloin. As always, bbqKing.

Great looking clocks scraps are simply projects that are not made yet.

Nice use of scraps. I have a couple of pieces of scrap Mahogany from a bar top I made last year. I think I’m going to borrow (steal) this fine idea and make a couple of Christmas gifts.

Really cool clocks. Goes to show that sometimes the simpler projects are the most unique and attractive. Great job.

Great clocks King. Nothing like a home made present.
