Burned Time

This clock was made using salvaged parts that were meant to be discarded. I fully understand that it may not qualify for the contest, but I wanted to give others the opportunity to make it as well.The wooden structure measures 40cm by 40cm. It consists of four scrap wood planks, each 10cm high and cut to a length of 40cm. Once cut, the pieces are glued together using regular wood glue and left to dry for a couple of days.Next, cuts are made in the wood to create the hour markers. This process is simple but generates a lot of dust. Use an angle grinder to make the cuts at the hour positions. I used a drawing on the base as a guide to ensure the cuts were accurateOnce this is done, you move on to burning the wood. All you need is a torch, which you can find on AliExpress, and a butane canister. Burn the wood to create a charred outline. Then, draw an X in the center and drill a hole to insert the clock mechanism.On the back, you’ll need to use a router to create a recess to house the clock mechanism. If needed, I can send you the actual linksNow, print the numbers using a 3D printer and nail them onto the wood using nails with a round black head. Insert the clock mechanism and attach the hands. On the back, you’ll need to place a metal strap to hang the clock — and that’s it
