Hi Guys, Clock looks awesome But I think you need to address the issue of the hands being out of proportion and it would be great to have a hanging point added, maybe a keyhole plate set into the back? Cheers,Michael.
Well it’s only fitting the Black Forest wood co. Makes a clock, to rival the Black Forest German clocks!😁. The clock looks outstanding! Thanks for the video, 🐶👋
The variety of clocks you can make is unlimited. The shape of the routed hour marks remind me of the shape of a tritium vial. They are glow in the dark capsules that never need charging with a light source. Some custom knifemakers inset the vials into handles for a tekky feel to the project. Great first outing on this clock Dylan.
Hey Dylan, The clock turned out amazing. Yet another item to add to your already extensive list of products that you've made. Have you and Charlie had a haircut? Looks good :) Hi from Australia
cool reminds me of one of those old cypress slab clocks from Florida that i used to have alas it was lost to my better half in the old splitting of the stuff thing lol ! ps making these and simple squares and rectangles for end tables would be a great small business you can do in a garage without a huge start up cost
You said you could do coasters of something with the rest of the adhesive. How do you do those? Do you use wood in them also? You cut quite a bit off of the outside edge. Did you use that for something else, or discard it? Lovely clock, how does it hang?
Looks awesome! Just in the future it would be better to get properly fitting hands, they looked a bit wide and the hour hand should have been cut shorter as well.
Thanks for another outstanding video!!! The clock looks great. When mixing/prepping resin prior to pouring in the mold, is it possible to only partially mix the pigment so there is a streaked or stippled effect in the final pour? Enjoyed watching you and the team go through the process of completing a small project. Keep up the good work.
im sure it would depend on the specific product but i would guess the general rule would be no as it might stop it from curing properly and leave the epoxy soft in some areas. everytime i go for that effect i just add or use a product with a little pearl essence in it. its also not a hard effect to achieve near the surface of a pour as you can mix a sperate small batch with your "streak" color pour a little in a spot and create the streak look with a tooth pick.
If you wait until the epoxy thermosetting(curing) process has started, then you add the other streak color mixed with epoxy, it will stay put without bleeding into the resin that has already started to cure. With Allumilite, I know you wait until the resin reaches 98degrees farenheit to pour your streak. Not positive what the temp would be for other brands, but that should give you a starting point to experiment with. Hope that helps!
While happy to make my own moulds, I am considering buying one of your round mould, possibkly 30" (I had to stop and translate to metric...would be cool if you also showed metric sizes), actually for a similar project to this very nice clock you guys made. One question first though - with careful handling, how many uses do you expoect your moulds to last? Thanks.
I do have an interesting question for you. I dont believe its been mentioned before or asked before, but what is the moisture content of your wood before you cast them with resin for any project. With your resin it may not matter, but from personal experience wood with a higher moisture content tends to create more bubbles and splits in the wood after resin is applied than wood that is kiln dried. Just curious if that is something you check before all of your resin pours.
Less than 7% moisture content is preferred, and it's still important to have dry pieces when working with resin! We have a video about kiln drying/moisture content! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bzhlfrff-Vg.html
Great video. Question: Has the price of lumber gone up in Canada? If so has it had a negative impact on your business? Are people requesting smaller projects? Thanks so much for sharing.
The recessed pocket in the back for the hardware, planned or not, is an awesome addition. Quick question for you guys. In most of your videos I see you sand your resin and wood once and then immediately apply your finishing oil. For every project I have done with wood and Epoxy, I have had to go through the grueling process of sanding, incrementally, from low to high grit, to shine the epoxy before applying Rubio. Have you found a way to avoid this or are you just editing it out? Thanks for your help!
Haha!!! I thought this was "click bait" ... and then I realised there was an "L" on clock. And .. Yes ... 3 inches would be excessive for a "cLock" ... ;-) Joking aside ... clock hands after being trimmed - IMHO - were not in proportion ... I think it would have looked a lot better with thinner hands, possibly a more classical design .... But if that's what the client wanted, then it's more than OK. But still, a brilliant addition to BFW sales items - the mold ... HDPE ??? Tip for applying the silicone ... once bead is in place, spray with water (plant mister/sprayer absolutely fine!) then use your moist finger to smoothe - silicone will not stick to those surfaces that have been sprayed with water. Have I described that adequately?!?
Hi guys, love your work, just wondering where you purchased the clock mechanism/hands from as you said you would leave a link for it. Cheers. keep up the good work. Dan W
Hi folks, hope you're all doing well and Charlie decided to hang around. So how much does a clock like that weigh, would you need something special to hag it on a wall? Thanks for another great video.
Nice clock face. BUT to compliment the fine craftsmanship on your part consider installing a real mechanical movement. I’ve made clocks using my laser for the face (acrylic) and the case in laser cut wood and used a very very inexpensive quartz battery movement but when I make make something more permanent I’m going for mechanical. The sound of a real ticking clock gives a home a heart beat. And when the zombie apocalypse comes and batteries are valuable barter items my clock will still work but quartz will be useless. A sound mechanical movement is more expensive than the $9.99 quartz thing but consider your legacy.
if you can please struggle at a better explain how you do the calculus it would be great..and please keepin in mind this videos would be better understand from european view with those calculus transformed already...from every other point,you`re doing great and i love your fancy ideas,big up!

The Charlie schtick is getting old though. It's a woodworking channel. If you like doing the Charlie thing more power to you. I'm gonna watch either way
I know you all have been wondering where I have been and I don’t have an answer to that because the government may be listening but good news is that I will be commenting for more Brad like normal again. Good night
