I just do things, never documenting anything. This is my first one so please put up with me.

1st, go to Walmart or Target and get a cheap wall clock. This one was 3.99, and i needed this size because I had made a custom face.

Then I remove the plastic cover over the front. You can see the little clips from the back side.

The next step is optional. I marked around the "clock work" with a sharpe then removed it.

From this point you have options. 1st option is to print up a clock face with whatever logo or design or picture you want on photo paper and just stick it on the face and re-assemble. Or you can just put a sticker on it. I made this sticker on my sticker machine.

So, I cut out all the excess plastic on the clock. That picture of coarse didn't come out. But here is the finished product with light behind it. I still need to order led strips from Superbrightled.com.

Not perfect by any means, but kinda cool for the garage imo.

Just trying to throw some cool garage ideas out there.

He is much closer to Mueller than Sir Andy... Let's just say that if the levee fails, underthetire will be underthewater (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Nice clocks. I love the headlight one. Maybe Eric needs to become a member vendor?

And yes Mueller is only a couple miles away.
