How to Make a Pallet Wood Clock

by Jeremiah_Poopy

Ever since watching people on YouTube work with pallets I fell in love it. I have been woodworking for about two years
and I have used pallet wood for almost every single project.

This clock was a gift for my mom and I think it turned out really well.

Step 1: Materials:

- Pallet Wood

-Wood Glue

-Wood Finish/Stain

-Clock Kit

-Picture Hanger

Step 2: Tools:

- Table Saw

- Belt Sander

- Orbital Sander

- Clamps

- Drill

- Rubber Mallet

Step 3: Step 1: Create a Plan

So rst you are going to want to nd out what you want your clock to look like. If you aren't using Pallet wood nd out
what wood you would like to use. You also need to nd out what kind of stain you want to use if you are using stain. You
should also go ahead and buy your clock kit because a lot of the planning is done around it. You can create a sketch if you
want but I didn't.

Step 4: Step 2: Milling Your Lumber

If you have ever used pallet wood before you might be the fence to clean up the other edge like you would with
confused as to why I didn't include milling tools like a a jointer, then I just sanded them to get them smooth.
jointer and Planer. I personally don't have those two On the board that the clock will go on I cut out a place in
tools but you could use them if you would like. I used a the back that was the right depth so that the clock kit
jointer jig on my table saw to get nice edges and used would be ush with the back. You can use a router but I

made a whole bunch of cuts with my table saw and got


the same result.

Step 5: Step 3: Glue All of Your Lumber Together

Glue the jointed edges together with bar clamps. Once it is dry and you have de-clamped it scrape o the glue. I used
both a belt sander and an orbital sander but you can use any tool you would like to sand it smooth.

Step 6: Step 4: Drilling Holes

Drill a hole that matches the diameter of the clock threads where ever you want the center to be. Use that hole as a
reference point and use a compass to make a circle around it. Evenly space out where you want the numbers to be and
leave a mark there.

Step 7: Step:5 Finishing

If you would like to use stain put it on now. Put on a clear coat to conceal the stain and to bring out the grain. Add your
hanger. I would suggest you use a Sawtooth Picture frame holder but you can use whatever you wish. If you want to use
number markers nail them in with a rubber mallet so you don't damage them. Finally put in your clock kit!
