Joanne and Dave are back! 
And this time they are going to transform a live edge piece of wood into a functioning mantle clock ...  for those of us who can still tell time the traditional way :)

Dave picked up a beautiful piece of willow from Exotic Woods, one of ArtResin's favorite local stores. Inspired by a family heirloom, Dave thought it would make a one-of-a-kind clock - that doubles as a beautiful piece of artwork!

Next he picked up a clock movement kit.  There are lots of styles to choose from at a good hobby and craft store, and even more to choose from online.  Dave went with an inexpensive, battery operated model with simple lines to allow the natural beauty of the wood to shine.
 
With wood, clock movement set and tools in hand, Dave and Joanne walk us step by step through the process in today's video. 

The first step is to outline the clock face ( Joanne drew an outline using a small plate for this. )

In the center of the clock face, Dave will drill a hole for the clock shaft to poke through.  From there, he'll drill a cavity in the back for the clock movement kit to sit in.

Dave and Joanne decided to only mark the 3, 6, 9 and 12 points on the clock face to keep the look clean and simple.  Their plan is to make 4 holes using a square chisel, and then to fill those holes with silver ResinTint!

They will then sand down the face of the clock, cover it in super glossy ArtResin epoxy resin, assemble and install the clock mechanism and hey presto .... the clock will be complete!

Stay tuned to see if their project goes as smoothly as planned .... and for lots of really bad clock puns along the way ;)
