soooooo last week one of our fellow pelicanheads posted a "CLOCK" that he made out of a headlight bezel and it was AWESOME!
i mean...... it was super cool....... !!!
i wanted one for my new garage...... but...... $$$$$.....
but i wanted one...... so i figured why not try and make one for myself with stuff i had around the garage (materials/building) the worst that can happen is that it looks like sheet and oh well......
so i poked around.......
found another pelicanhead that sold me an extra headlight bezel for $10 !
soooo now im off and running...... !!!! waahhooooooo !!!
bought a wall clock mechanism from amazon for $5. Painted the hands of the clock RED for some contrast.
Painted the Bezel Matte Black and Cleared it with some Matte Cleat (had the paint laying around the garage)
Painted the inner ring on the Bezel Gloss black for some contrast.
went to .99 store for a 8x10 picture frame.
Used the backing for the face of the clock.....
Used the glass from the picture frame to use as the glass for the front of the clock (learning how to cut glass THIS afternoon!)
I tried to source the 911" but fell short.... NO ONE had an extra emblem laying around... soooo went to a hobby store and bought some crafting wooded numbers for $3. I ended up cutting and trying to shape them but they didn't really come out that nice... but oh well ! I'm trying I'm trying dang it.
i even glued a fake screw on the bottom of the bezel..... how ridiculous... hahahahahaha..... silliness dang it.
almost done.....
I'm not hating how it came out.......
its NOTHING compared to the original Pelicanheads BUT....... i was inspired to try and i don't hate it...was fun.
