Introduction: Wall Clock With Cardboard Hands

About: I love nature, electronics, and mechanics. I love to reuse whatever trash I find. I love building random projects and gardening.

I made an analog clock because I didn't want the cheap clocks on amazon. So, I went to michael's and got a clock gearbox.

Supplies

Materials:

  • 1 gearbox (it has to have the hanging notch, which is just a wide V-shaped piece of plastic that bends away and back to the body of the box( you get this kind of gearbox at michael's)
  • cardboard
  • paper clock face

Tools:

  • Scissors
  • Screwdrivers

Step 1: Attach the Face

Glue the gearbox and clock face together.

Step 2: Cut the Hands

Cut two small rectangles. One should be noticeably shorter than the other in length. Cut a point on one end with scissors and drill holes into another with the screwdriver. Then, widen the holes to the size of the shaft it's going to be on. The smaller one is going to be under the minute hand. The hour hand's hole should be a litttle wider in diameter.

Step 3: Attach the Hands

Attach the hands in the twelve o'clock position (this will make sure the hour hand aligns with the hour (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 o'clock).

Step 4: Done

Attach a battery, correct the hands, and hang it on the wall. It's done.
