making a wood clock that looks like a football helmet
I have a great idea of making a clock for our football coach that looks
like our football helmet. I have never made a clock. I so far have determined that I want the clock to be at least 36" in diameter. The shape of the helmet would be cut from a cabinet grade 3/4" plywood. From this point on I am lost! I have gone to Michael's Arts and Crafts and looked at the clock parts that they have. I do not know what size of mechanism that I need, what size number, or hands! Is there a rule to follow? The biggest numbers I saw at Michael's were 13/16", they seemed like they would be too small. Can anyone offer any suggestions or help. Thanks |
