Clocks for the Craftsman
An Ordinary Alarm Clock Mounted in a Wood Base Made in Elaborate Designs to Resemble a Timepiece of High Value; yet Inexpensive to Make
Three designs of clocks are shown, which can be easily made in oak, or other wood, that will match other furniture. The sizes of the pieces required are given by the dimensions in the drawings.
The clock is a matter of choice. Prices in most stores range from 75 cents up and the works are of the ordinary alarm-clock variety. After selecting the clock the small legs as well as the back plate are removed. The hole cut in the wood for the clock must be a snug fit, and after placing it in position, the back plate is replaced.
The finish may be a wax or gloss, as desired, and directions for applying it will be found on the can containing the material.
