Looks like a possible retirement cottage industry, Joe! As soon as your book comes out, I'll pick my favorite and send in the order. :wink: :mrgreen:

Great work Dice! I didn't know you were into woodworking too. What kind of wood did you use for the frame and did you print the pic yourself, or have it printed somewhere else?

Ice Pirate, I'm not a woodworker. What I did was print an 8X10 at Kinko's, picked up an 8X10 shadow box from Michel's on sale ($6) and cut a piece of 1/4 thick plywood for the backing. White glued the picture to the plywood, drilled a hole through the plywood and shadow box backing and mounted the clock through them both. Once you put the backing back into the shadow box it holds it all together nicely.

Ha Ha at first I wasn't quite use how to do that 30mm. What I did was mount the clock, put the 12 at the 12 O'clock position, then turned the min hand a full 60 min cycle and put the next number where it pointed. :shock: 8)

Well, great work just the same. You've got the mind for it. You should think about taking up woodwork. I find it a lot of fun.

Thanks Ice Pirate, maybe I'll look into it some day.

30mm kinda got me thinking just how much it would cost to make a clock and how much could I get out of one. So, I stopped by Hobby Lobby today and picked-up a pre-cut piece of 8X10 wood, a clock, and numbers and I'm going to build another one this weekend. I'll stick it on EBay as a test and see what happens. I'll post as the process go along.
