Making a Custom Wall Clock

Jun 15

Written By Bill

I don’t really know why I decided to make a custom wall clock, I just lost track of time one day and have been looking for it since.

In this video, we’re making a custom wall clock primarily using a scroll saw to cut out the clock face and whatever you want to feature in the center. Naturally, I chose our platypus friend! After watching, you’ll be able to recreate a similar clock that you can further customize how you see fit!
