Have You Got The Time?

Bill Ding Clock

Vintage Bill Ding (get it??) man blocks. You’re probably familiar with these guys – you stack them on top of one another and make wonderful buildings, sculptures, etc. I used my stash of really old and loved guys and built a clock facing. For the back structure, I used an old piece of teak wood off of a Lazy Susan and attached the clock mechanism to it. It measures about 1.5 feet across.

You can find these happy little guys on eBay (new and used) or Google Bill Ding and find other resources.

I think this one is going to our pals Heather and Barry for their new little boy’s room.

Here's a close-up.

Old Car Gauge Clock

I’m not sure I can let this one go now – it came out way too cool! I used an old electrical box for the housing, old Bakelite knobs for the feet and this amazing face that came out of an old car repair gauge for the clock face. I like the funky hands too!

Here's a close up of the gauge clock.

Rusty Gear Clock

Gears! You know how I feel about rusty gears… This one just came together using old gears and a caliper to hold the face I made out some other sort of rusty gear-ish something or others. It stands about a foot tall.

Here's a close up.

Cookie Tin Clock

Vintage Little Girl & Dachshund Cookie Tin Lid: Our pal Deb sent us this old tin and on the front of the card was “Can You Stand It??” This little puppy is giving our Sophie a run for the money on the cuteness factor!

This project was a snap and proves that a cute clock can be made from almost anything...
