Thread: 13 Hour Clock

Tweet

This all started when I was walking my dog and saw 2 vacuum boxes sitting by the garbage, and I couldn't resist.


Then I decided the best way to do this project was Papier Mache.


I looked online to find a grandfather clock that I wanted to use as a model. And I came across the one from Disney's Haunted Mansion.



I had been looking for a nice wooden foot stool that I could use for the base of it. I found a metal one with just the right style of legs I could incorporate. I did have to do some more mache and plaster cloth work to build it up.



I'm using plexiglass for the face of the clock and where the pendulum is.




Now, I put it all together, it's nice and sturdy and all painted. Just needs to be varnished.
So, this is where I am so far.


Still need to finish the top part, put the pendulum and the face on the clock.
I'm going to have a light inside the face part to light in from inside. The hour hand will be stationary on the 13 and the minute hand will be spinning.

Looks Geat.

Very cool what you can do with a couple of boxes.
