How to Make a Saw Blade Clock
George VondriskaDescription
Are the teeth on your saw blade so worn down that you can’t use the blade anymore? Don’t throw it out; recycle it! George Vondriska teaches you how to make a saw blade clock. He teaches you how to install a clock mechanism on your saw blade to quickly refurbish your woodworking tool as a simple clock for the workshop.
You know, a saw blade can only be sharpened so many times before there's not enough carbide left to make it viable to sharpen anymore. So don't throw that throw that blade in the garbage instead or give you a little timely tip here. What we can do is take that 10 inch saw blade and turn it into a clock for your ship. So what I did is I went to a craft store and I bought a mechanism. Oops, it's got to go this way.
The mechanism will go right through the five-eighths hole here in the front some washers, and a nut just follow the instructions that come with these mechanisms, but they are dirt simple to install. And on the back here what I'm doing is I'm making the hanger line up with that expansion slot at the top. Cause that's going to be my 12 o'clock position. Then the fingers, the hands usually just press on. And with a battery in the back I guess that's the hardest part of the whole thing.
There we go. With the battery in the back, the clock is running and it's good to go and just keep in mind Tempus Fugit.
I like your Masonic ring, can you tell me where you bought it ? Thanks Charlie
Great idea! I've made some clocks like that from the ubiquitous AOL installation CDs we used to always get. My have things changed from back then. But a saw blade, well, just don't drop it.
