RJF I guess it depends on the watch face, but the watch/clock inserts talked about here are 1 7/16 diameter, and require a 1 3/8 hole a standard pool cue is 1 1/4 diameter at the hilt OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a way, There's a way. RJF That's what I was thinking ( I think ) You mean to use a cue as sort of a stand? between the base and the pool ball? I almost mentioned that yesterday..

kmmcrafts Posted June 22, 2019 Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 My pool themed clock incorporates the pool table all the balls.. After I made and sold this.. we was at a restaurant and they put those big wood tooth picks in our sandwiches.. I thought about asking if i could buy a few of those ( unused ) to use them on the front and back of the table/ base as the cues.. never did ask though LOL..

JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted June 22, 2019 Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 Well I will tell you this and will let anyone who wants to try that idea have at it but it won't be me. But what I will tell you the Clock that Kevin has just shown I will step that design up a few notches at some time. Just have to figure a few things out yet. I put that project on the back burner last year but will revisit it. I also will be making pool cue pens with watch parts embedded into the pen body and adding them to my revolving list of projects. Not sure how many remember this pen box I made a few years ago for a contest I entered on a pen turning site and it happen to take first place.

kmmcrafts Posted June 22, 2019 Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 Thats awesome JT.. While I like the project I did because it was different and unique to to what others did with the same pattern..I like the little ball clocks better... I don't really like the main pattern / part with the clock I made here.. The thing is... is the clock is ( In my opinion ) lost in the big shape.. I used that size for two reasons.. one being that was what the design called for and two, that was about the size the balls are in the pattern... But I felt like the clock is way to small in that design.. so if you make something with that pattern... change it up somehow to make the clock not be lost in the design.. It's a neat pattern and fun one to cut.. But.. I think it could be improved on quite a lot too.. I'm sure with you're talent and creative ideas you'll do something awesome with it..

Kevin I have a couple different versions in my head. I had seen a similar pattern that I may combine both patterns and add some things. Just not sure yet. As I said I need to work out a few details yet with my method. Right now I am waiting on some supplies for my puzzle project and will be working on that.
