Your clock is very unusual. Thanks for sharing. dave

Tabitha, tell us a little bit about how you went about making the clock and what materials you have used here. I enjoy making clocks too. I love that they are not only fun to make but also functional and decorative.

Yes we need some info as to what we are looking at. What materials are you using and why did you choose them. It is somewhat unusual. Does the clock have a significant meaning or story behind it. Thanks for showing.

A very unique looking clock.  Well done.

Thanks yall it is a gun barrel... I come a canily of gun lovers and i wanted to try something a bit more challenging and different.. I used a holesaw for most of the holes i needed it to be accurate to get the look i was going for.... I also engraved a hole for the bullets hole not going all the way through for some definition... i used washers for the center of the bullet it was all done on pine wood... I believe it was 3/4 inch for the back and the face plate just a thin piece... I painted my hand and numbers because they were gold and you could barley see them.. If i missed any thing y'all wanna know let me know im new at this so ask away

Tabitha,after the info you gave us,now I can see the gun barrel

Very good idea and you did a super job on it.

[DukeNukem]

Very interesting I like it. Jerry

[Fish]

I see it now too. Great job!

[daveww1]

very nice, it's a revolver cylinder, not a gun barrel though

[JTTHECLOCKMAN]

I too can now see it for what it is. Nice idea and I am sure it will be well received. You could have either pour some red epoxy or resin in the center holes to represent the firing pins. or even added a red color plastic or wood ring. Thanks for the explanation and thanks for showing.

That's a cool looking clock thanks for sharing

If you feel ambitious you can make your own hands from some thin BB plywood or even thin metals if you can cut metals. Make a  bullet shape. The sky is the limit to what you can do with any pattern. Just have to think outside the box sometimes. Good luck as you progress with this hobby.

 

Not sure how large this is but it really does not matter, if it is a wall hanger or a desk clock you could put a couple of six shooters on each side of it to surround it. I know Wildwood designs sells a clock with six shooter and you can always adapt it or have someone here make a pattern for you. Just a couple more ideas.
