Supplier for Clock hands
I'll spare you the details,
but I had a clock with a quartz movement which didn't work. I know have a new movement, but in the process of getting it, have lost the original hands. I have gotten some replacements, but SWMBO has declared them so ugly, she'd rather put the clock in a cupboard as she can't bear to look at it! Result! However, i'd like to get some hands to match the originals if I can. As best I can remember, they were; Short (45mm from centre of spindle to end of the longer hand). Black. Ornate/pretty (Pierced & antique looking) Anyone any ideas where I could buy one set of these cheaply, or does anyone have a set they could send me in return for a little beer money? Cheers |

You can make your own using some thin black plastic, or card, and attaching to the existing hands. Or buy some from a Second-hand shop..... -- Mr X |

The link works fine in my browser (Firefox). Try the home page:- http://www.craft-supplies.co.uk/ and type "clock hands" (without the quotes) into the catalogue quick search box at the top of the page. This leads to 41 choices of hands. The ornate ones that I was indicating are the top item of page 2. -- Howard Neil |

I do happen to have cookies enabled and I still got the same message. I think it may be one of those sites that has only been tested on IE. In other words, not worth wasting your time with (unless you like importing spyware). -- Howard Neil |
