Modern Shelf Clock Plan Free Project Plan

This unusual clock has no hands. In their place are thin round discs with a 5/16-inch-diameter walunut dot to point out the hour and minute. If nothing else, it is different.

Instructions

Step 1
Study the plans carefully. Note: There are three cutting steps in the body, part number 1. Be sure
to cut them in the order suggested.

Step 2
Cut all of the pieces to overall size; then lightly sand all over. If you want to add the optional stripes in part number 2, glue up material to suit and and to 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3
Cut the overall shape of the body, part number 1. Sand all over. Using a 1/4-inch-wide router bit with a ball-bearing follower, make the 1/4- inch-wide dado (first cut) on the inside surface 3/8 of an inch in from the front edge.

Step 4
Using a 1/8-inch-radius router bit with a ball-bearing follower make the second cut around the inside, front edge. Using the same bit, make the third cut around the outside, front edge.

Step 5
Cut to length after routing steps 1,2, and 3.

Step 6
Cut and fit the face, part number 2, into the 1/4-inch-wide slot in the body, part number 1. Glue in place.

Step 7
Add the bottom, part number 3, in place.

Step 8
Sand all over and finish to suit.

Step 9
Add the movement.

Step 10
Fit the hour disc, part number 5. It should have a tight fit, that it will not slip.

Step 11
Fit the minute disc, part number 6. It, too, should fit tightly a not slip.
