How to CNC Wall Clocks - Start to End! 

Thanks very much! I started with my laser as well but soon realized the potential of having a CNC. Good to have both I reckon. I want to make a clock for my kitchen next but this time I want to use resin as well. Maybe in the next two weeks or so. :)

You are welcome! I need to do a few more with different designs. There is so much you can do! Thank you for your comment.

I got those from my local hardware store (Bunnings if you are in Australia) easy enough to cut from a rectangular panel if you have to though.

You are welcome and thank you very much! It's a start and Im sure they will only get better as we go. Appreciate the support. :)

Thanks 👍

Thanks very much! I need to do one soon for my kitchen. Something different. Will post that as well.

I forgot to mention in the description. I used this bit to cut out the pocket for the movement on the back ( bitsbits.com/product/425-dnc125/ ) and this one ( amzn.to/3poKYtz ) to do the engraving. Many people seem to use a 60 degree or even a 30 degree V, but I find this works well in most cases as long as the font is not too small or the letters too thick, else you start to loose detail. I have had other 90 degree V bits, but this one I have not had the need to even rotate the blade yet! Love it! Hope that helps. ;)

I did this one a while ago now, but I think it was about $180AUD. I have learned a bit since making this one and will be doing another soon, but it depends on how much detail/customisation the customer wants. Something similar that anyone can buy would probably be less, but in saying that, you could make a couple of “cheaper” clocks to sell for less, or take your time to make something more premium and only sell one or two for the same profit or more. I’m leaning more and more to the more premium side of things these days because it’s less work for the same profit or more at the end of the day. Hope that makes sense?

@@TwinSummitDesignsHi, Thanks for replying. I guess anything with " Custom made " at the beginning will always attract a premium price, as it is unique and personal to whoever is buying it, but production items that can be bought anywhere are in the " everyone can buy one " category.

True! Sometimes it’s getting people to realise they are getting something that is unique or one of a kind sort of thing as well as sticking to charging what your time and effort is worth. Else you end up chasing quantity for next to nothing and you end up hating what you do.
