A Guide to Making an Electric Wall Clock
The wall clocks of today come in many different designs. This can range from the plain to the pendulum style. Adding a wall clock with a personal touch in the home is an easy project to do. Written below are some helpful tips to get you started.
Begin by measuring a piece of plywood to the same size as the shadow box picture frame that will be used. Cut through the material with a circular saw. Next, place the quilt block on top of the wood and move it around until you achieved the desired look.
Once the previous step is completed, spread the wood glue all over the top surface of the plywood and lay the quilt top material where the adhesive was placed. Then, fold the edges over and glue them to the back of the plywood. You may also use tape to hold the sides in place.
When the adhesive has dried, drill a hole in the centre of the quilt top block clock and attach the electric clock mechanism according to package directions. Take out the backing of the shadow box and place the quilt top block clock face into the shadow box. Make use of the wood glue to hold it in place. You can do this by placing the adhesive on the edges of the plywood and all along the corners in the back after it has been positioned to the desired spot. Finally, make a small notch in the bottom of the shadow box in the back to accommodate the electrical cord.
