Wooden Wall-Hung Wristwatch

Monday, August 4th, 2008

Wooden wrist watchThe title’s a bit of a tongue twister but the wooden watch certainly looks fun to make.

This plan, provided by Woodcraft, is for a 15 inch tall wooden watch to hung on your wall or put on your desktop. The plan has been proved by Wood Magazine so you shouldn’t have any trouble with the quality.

A bit of a laught for yourself or a great gift for someone maybe.

Woodcraft say you can find the name of a clock insert supplier included in the plans but my personal favorite is Clockparts.

I haven’t seen the plans yet myself but with a bit of modification it’s not difficult to see that you could make this in lots of different sizes.
