They look great but you left off the number 8 when you etched them

April fools!

Good luck with your venture. Cheers

Seriously, very smart!

Those faces are just beautiful !!

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.

Great work. There is a lot of hours here. How are you going to sell them?

-- A childs smile is payment enough.

Wow, those look great, nice job.

-- Martin ....always count the number of fingers you have before, and after using the saw.

Very nice. Did you use PNP for doing the etching?

-- JohnnyB - - Sometimes determination can substitute for skill.

hunter 71 – I’m in 50 hrs total with the dials being about 12 of that. 1st one is on eBay right now. I’ll add another one every couple days and see how they do. You never know, but it seems to be a pretty fair market.

JohnnyB – etch is Sodium Persulphate (sp?) and DI water.

Rod,
Forget ebay! You need to open an Etsy account http://www.etsy.com/?ref=so_home

With the faces on these clocks they are one of a kind and will be eaten up on Etsy. I was thinking last night about these and you could open a business selling only the faces. You can’t find A&C mantel clock faces of this quality. Again Good Luck and please email me if you put them on Etsy. Cheers

T.D. Reid – Just listed on Etsy as well. I’ve never bought or sold anything there, but they do seem to have a lot of similar items. Longer term, I would like to try selling some dials as well. I would definitely need to have at least a few designs and a few sizes in “inventory” before I could do that however.

Any idea what the dials alone would be worth? There’s really nothing to compare to out there for pricing. If I had decent volume to bring my costs down, I could make them for around $20 with a reasonable profit. Right now (for a small order), I’d probably have to sell for around twice that to be worth my while.

I love these clocks! I really want to make a clock like this someday. If you do start selling just dials, please let me know, they are amazing!
