This clock was a Christmas gift that I made for my brother’s family. I pretty much followed the plans exactly from Wood Magazine issue 198 (July 2010). It is made out of a single piece of 12” wide pine that I picked up from Home Depot. I’m not a big fan of pine, so I didn’t feel bad when I decided to paint the clock brown. I made separate backs, painting one pink (for the girls) and wiping the second with a dark Danish Oil.
It was a fun little project and well received by my nieces.

Thanks guys, it makes me laugh whenever I see it. It is only one clock with an interchangeable back plate.

I ordered the clock face from http://www.meiselwoodhobby.com/Home.aspx per the instructions in the issue of Wood Magazine. There is a kit for the dancing clock that comes with the face, the clock mechanism, and the pendulum. It was the easiest part of the project.
Have your say...
