To cut the craft perfectly, you will need a lot of patience.

The selection of plywood depends on the size of the parts, in this case you will need a lot of plywood. Before transferring the drawing to plywood, clean it with a sandpaper with a large grain, and finish with a fine one. It is more convenient to grind with a wooden block wrapped in sandpaper. Sanding the finished plywood along the layers, not across. A well-sanded surface should be smooth, perfectly smooth, glossy-matt in the light and silky to the touch. Pay attention to the location of the fibers, knots, dents and other defects. Quality and color.

You need to translate the drawing accurately and accurately: fix the drawing with the buttons or simply hold it with your left hand. Check if the drawing fits the dimensions. Arrange the individual parts so that the plywood sheet is used as economically as possible.

When sawing, try to keep the jigsaw always straight and cut exactly along the line you marked. Try to cut the details with sharp corners, so the craft will look more beautiful. Saw slowly, there is no hurry here. When all the details have been sawn out, it is necessary to sand the surface again, only with a fine-grained sandpaper. If there are burrs and irregularities after stripping, clean the parts with needle files.

In the craft, you can place a mechanical watch that will serve as a convenient thing for you.

After stripping, you need to collect the details according to the picture. Try to collect crafts. If the parts do not go into the right places, file them. When you assemble the craft, carefully look for burrs, if not, then glue the craft.

You need to glue the clock with PVA or titan glue. You don’t need to pour a lot of glue, if glue is visible on the craft, it will be ugly. When the craft is glued, it is necessary to varnish the shelf.

Good day to all dear friends! In today's article, I would like to show you an interesting homemade product to decorate your room. Namely, how to make a “mechanical watch”, a homemade product is essentially very simple to manufacture, and absolutely everyone, even a child, can make it. We will use cheap plywood as the main material, and the mechanism itself can be purchased from our Chinese friends or taken from old watches that are already tired. Well, let's not waste time and start assembling homemade products.

For this DIY we need:

Plywood sheet (30x30cm will be more than enough)
- Clock mechanism with arrows
- Dominoes (will serve as clock face numbers)
- Ice cream sticks
- Battery (for clockwork).

Of the tools we will also need:

- Manual jigsaw
- Electric jigsaw (optional)
- Sandpaper
- Drill with drills
- Hot glue
- Ruler
- Compass
- Marker
- Square.

To begin with, let's take a sheet of plywood, a square sheet with dimensions of 30 × 30 cm will be enough. On the sheet of plywood you have taken, using a ruler and a compass, draw a circle with a radius of 10 cm. This circle will be the size of the clock (i.e. 20 cm) , if you have a desire to make the clock larger then make the circle larger. After that, inside the circle just drawn, three more circles should be drawn according to the dimensions indicated below. That is, with radii of 7 cm, 4 cm, and 3 cm.

Then, to create a simple “pattern”, we need a Ruler and a square, or, like the author of a homemade product, a square with a ruler. We draw two lines through the centers of the circle so that they are perpendicular to each other, for a more accurate result it is better to use a square.

We continue to draw lines on plywood. Parallel to the lines just drawn at a distance of 1 cm, draw more lines. In the end, it should look something like the one shown in the photo below. Mark the parts to be cut with a marker.

After doing the above steps, proceed to sawing. First, let's cut out the very base of the clock. To do this, we will use an electric jigsaw, but if you don’t have one, you can use the simplest manual jigsaw. First, we cut out about 5 mm from the edge, and then we carefully cut the edges along the contour more accurately.

Then we need to cut out the “patterns” marked with a marker inside the circle. To do this, you will need to take a drill and a manual jigsaw. Just take a drill with a thicker drill and drill a through hole. After the through hole has been drilled, remove the blade from the manual jigsaw, and put it back on the jigsaw through the previously made hole so that the blade is inside the plywood. And we actually drink. We do this with all four parts.

For aesthetics, the workpiece should be sanded with at least simple sandpaper. For grinding, first use a larger sandpaper, and then a smaller one.

In the center of the workpiece we make a through hole for the installation of the clock mechanism. The hole in diameter should be slightly larger than the diameter of the seats of the clock hands.

Now let's make the hands of the clock. Namely, we will make our own minute and hour hands. To make arrows, we need ice cream sticks, and in order to distinguish arrows, we need sticks from different ice cream. If you cannot find two different ice cream sticks, then you can take two identical ones, but change one of them. To install our arrows on the mechanism, one through hole should be made in them. For the hour hand, you need a 5.5 mm drill, and for the minute hand, 3.5 mm (no more, no less).

Let's make a dial. To do this, take a wooden blank and turn it over with the clean side up. And now we should stick or draw numbers on the dial. The author of the homemade product decided to make a very unusual dial and used dominoes as numbers. To do this, take a set of dominoes and take out one domino from it with the sum of dots on them from 1 to 12. We will glue the dominoes to the plywood using hot glue. First glue the numbers 12, 3, 6, and 9, and then all the rest.

For the next step, we need the clock mechanism itself, and we will install it. To do this, turn the dial over again and use the same hot glue to glue the mechanism to the dial, as shown in the photo below.

Then we should decide where and how the clock will be installed, that is, they will be desktop or wall. The author decided to make his clock wall, and therefore made, and then glued the following mount (see photo below).

This simple eye-catching project can be made from leftover veneer

First prepare the mold

1. Take a 38mm hardwood board and cut it into a 76mm x 178mm piece. (We used maple, and softwoods lack the strength to form waves on multiple layers of veneer.)

2. Make a copy of the mold template. Attach it with spray adhesive to the torn and edge of the workpiece, bending along the dotted line.

3. With a saw blade 6 mm wide or less installed in the band saw, cut out excess material in the middle of the workpiece. Smoothly sand both surfaces with a sanding drum.

4. Tape both inside surfaces of the mold with clear packing tape to avoid sticking to the veneer.

How to make a watch case

1. Cut out six 89mm x 216mm pieces of veneer so that the fibers in each were directed but length. (We chose bird's eye maple veneer for the top layer, and alternated walnut and mahogany veneers for the rest of the layers.)

2. To make the veneer more flexible and avoid cracking, moisten it with warm water so that all surfaces are damp, but do not submerge them in water. Stack the veneer pieces in the desired order, positioning the top layer as indicated on the template, and place between the mold halves.

3. Position the clamps along the length of the mold and slowly tighten them until the mold halves compress the entire stack of veneer. Ignore small gaps. Leave the mold in the clamps overnight.

4. Remove the clamps and remove the veneer pieces from the mold to dry for one to two hours. Keep the alternation order so that later they can be glued together without gaps.

5. After drying the veneer, apply a thin even layer of yellow PVA glue on the adjacent surfaces. Lay the veneer pieces in the mold and tighten the clamps tightly. Let the glue dry overnight. Don't worry if you see small gaps between the layers on the edges of the stack - they will be trimmed in the next step.

6. Before removing the clamps, drill a 3 mm hole 60 mm deep in the glued workpiece through the end of the mold (photo A), the center of which is indicated on the paper template. Then remove the clamps and remove the workpiece from the mold.

7. Make a copy of the outline W of the cabinet template and attach it with spray adhesive to the front side of the veneer, aligning with the 3mm hole.

8.Drill a 35mm hole for the clockwork at the location indicated on the template.

9. With a band saw, cut out the body along the contour lines (photo B).

Finishing homemade watches

1. From 10mm material, saw out a 51mm disc for the base and sand smooth. (We made it from poplar wood and then painted it black.)

2. Starting from the edge of the base disk 13 mm, make a 3 mm hole 6 mm deep at an angle of 5°.

3. Apply three coats of semi-gloss nitro varnish from an aerosol can to the body with intermediate sanding with sandpaper No. 400.

4. Insert a stainless steel rod into the hole in the base, securing it with epoxy. Then put the watch case on top of the rod and also fix it with epoxy glue.

5. Insert the clockwork into the hole in the case.

Do-it-yourself clock in a wooden case - drawing

A. Such a mold together with clamps is difficult to properly install on the table of a drilling machine, so make a hole with an electric drill or a screwdriver.
B. Leave a small allowance on the outside and then sand the body edges to the contour lines on the template.

OWN HAND WATCHES - ORIGINAL OPTIONS FROM READERS

CLOCK SHOOT OWN HANDS

MY FRIEND, THE OWNER OF A SHOE STORE, REQUESTED TO MAKE A WALL CLOCK FOR HER. WITH PLEASURE I AGREED TO THE HEAD IMMEDIATELY THE IDEA CAME TO MAKE WALKERS IN THE FORM OF A BOOTS.

watch case

A suitable picture was printed on an A4 sheet. Through carbon paper, I transferred the drawing to a sheet of foam plastic 30 mm thick (photo 1). I cut the workpiece along the contour with a thermal cutter (you can use a clerical knife). With sandpaper, I gave rounded shapes and polished the largest recesses of the pattern (the outsole of the boot, the lower cut joints). For durability, I pasted over the case with paper napkins with epoxy resin. I pasted a drawing cut out of cardboard on top, and then primed it with white acrylic paint (photo 2). To make the boot look like leather, I covered it with acrylic paint. I shaded the recesses and seams with a marker to touch up scratches on furniture.

According to the markup, I cut out a niche for installing the clock mechanism (photo 3) and fixed it with glue for ceiling tiles.

Shoe arrow

According to the template, I cut out the necessary parts from 0.5 mm thick tin with scissors (photo 4), folded them one on one and punched holes for landing on the clockwork with a punch. Clock face

To create a strong and at the same time, as it were, transparent base, I used a thin steel wire. I laid it in a flat spiral and soldered it in places where the numbers will be attached in the future. The finished part was washed with a strong solution of soda and painted black.

On the computer, using the Harrington font size 100, I typed in the numbers and printed them out. I pasted it on cardboard and cut it out with a utility knife.

Focusing on the marks, I fixed the details on the dial (photo 5). The latter was fixed on the case not closely, but with a gap of about 5 mm. Set arrows. The clock is ready. The friend was pleased with the gift.

It is impossible to use adhesives whose solvent is acetone - penoplex will corrode instantly.

Try to cut out such a craft. It will certainly appeal to your loved ones by placing it in a conspicuous place, for example, on a shelf. To make this craft, you will need the following:

Sawing tools.

Preparing your desktop

First of all, you need to prepare your table on which you will work. It should not have unnecessary things and every tool should be at hand. Not everyone has their own desktop and probably already thought about creating it. Making a table is not difficult - it is difficult to choose a place for it in the house. The ideal option is a warmed balcony, where you can do crafts at any time. I already wrote about table preparation in a separate article and tried to describe the whole process of its creation in as much detail as possible. If you don't know how to prepare your workplace, then read the following Article. After you have completed the process of creating a table, try to start choosing your future craft.

Choosing quality material

The main material is plywood. Her choice is always difficult. Each of us must have faced such a problem as delamination of plywood from the end part and asked such a question, why such delamination? Well, it's mostly due to low-quality plywood. If you took the jigsaw in your hands not for the first time, then you can pick up plywood from the remnants of the previous craft. If you are new to sawing and you do not have plywood, then buy it at a hardware store. Choosing material for sawing is always difficult. You should always choose plywood carefully, more often look at the defects of the tree (knots, cracks) and draw conclusions. The complexity of choosing plywood lies in the fact that no matter how you miscalculate its flaws and shelf life. For example, you bought plywood, cleaned it, translated the drawing, and suddenly it began to delaminate. Of course, this happened to almost everyone and it is oh so unpleasant. So it is better to pay attention when choosing and choose good plywood. I wrote a special Article, which describes step by step all the principles of choosing plywood.

Stripping plywood

We clean our plywood with sandpaper. As you already know, “Medium-grained” and “Fine-grained” skins are used to clean plywood in sawing. In construction stores, you probably saw skins (sandpaper in a different way), and they are what we need. In the work you will need "Coarse-grained", "Medium-grained" and "Fine-grained" skin. Each of them has its own property, but a completely different coating, in which it is classified. “Coarse-grained” skin is used for processing rough plywood, i.e. which has many defects, chips, as well as cracks.
"Medium-grained" skin is used for processing plywood after "Large" skins and has a slight coating. "Fine-grained" or otherwise "Nulevka". Such sandpaper serves as the final process of stripping plywood. It gives plywood smoothness, and therefore plywood will be pleasant to the touch. Sand the prepared plywood in stages, starting with medium-grained and ending with fine emery. Grind along the layers, not across. A well sanded surface should be even, perfectly smooth, glossy in the light and silky to the touch. How best to prepare plywood for sawing and which sandpaper is better to choose Read here. After stripping, check the plywood for burrs and small bumps. If there are no visible defects, then you can proceed to the process of translating the drawing.

Drawing translation

For me, the translation of a drawing has always been the main process in my work. I will tell you a couple of rules, as well as tips for high-quality translation of the drawing. Many transfer the drawing to plywood not only with a pencil and copy, but also with the help of the Black Tape, glue the drawing with plywood, then wash off the drawing with water and the drawing markings remain on the plywood. In general, there are many ways, but I will talk about the most common method. To transfer the drawing to the prepared plywood, you must use a copy, a ruler, a sharp pencil and a non-writing pen. Fix the drawing in plywood with buttons or just hold it with your left hand. Check if the drawing fits the dimensions. Arrange the drawing of the clock so that the plywood sheet is used as economically as possible. Translate the drawing with a non-writing pen and ruler. You should not rush, because your future craft depends on the drawing.

Drilling holes in pieces

As you have already noticed, there are parts of the grooves in the details that need to be cut from the inside. To cut out such parts, it is necessary to drill holes in them using a hand drill or, as in the old fashioned way, make holes with an awl. By the way, the diameter of the hole must be at least 1 mm, otherwise you can damage the elements of the drawing, which, alas, are sometimes difficult to restore. In order not to damage your desktop when drilling holes, place a plank under the workpiece so as not to damage the desktop. Drilling holes alone is always difficult, so ask a friend to help you with your business.

Sawing details

There are many rules for sawing, but you need to be based on the most common ones. First of all, you need to cut out the internal parts, only then along the outer pattern. There is no need to rush when cutting. The main thing is to always keep the jigsaw straight at an angle of 90 degrees when cutting. Cut out the parts along the lines you marked exactly. The movements of the jigsaw should always be smooth up and down. Also, don't forget to watch your posture. Try to avoid bevels and bumps. If you get off the line while sawing, don't worry. Such bevels, irregularities can be removed with flat files or “Coarse-grained” sandpaper.

Rest

When sawing, we often get tired. Often fingers get tired as well as eyes, which are always in suspense. At work, of course, everyone gets tired. In order to reduce the load, you need to do a couple of exercises. Exercises you can see here. Do the exercises several times during the work.

Stripping Details

It is always necessary to clean the details of future crafts carefully. At the very beginning of work, you already cleaned the plywood with sandpaper. Now you have to do a small part of plywood stripping. With a “medium-grained” sandpaper, clean the edges of the parts and the back of the plywood. "Fine-grained" skin is considered the final stage of cleaning parts. Fine sandpaper is better to clean the front of the parts. When processing plywood, take your time. You can also use a rounded file, with which it is convenient to clean the inside of the holes. Try to get the details without burrs and bumps.

Assembly of parts

Assembling the details of our crafts here is not so difficult. In order to carry out the correct assembly of parts, you need to read the following Article, which details all the details of the assembly. After the parts are assembled into one common craft without any problems, then proceed to gluing them.

We glue the parts

It is necessary to glue the parts of the shelf with PVA or titan glue. You don't need to pour a lot of glue. It is better to tie the assembled craft on glue with a strong thread, tighten it and put it to dry. The craft sticks together for about 10-15 minutes.

burning crafts

To decorate our craft with a pattern (for example, along the edges of the craft), you will need an electric burner. Beautifully burn out the pattern can be very difficult. To burn out patterns, you must first draw a pattern with a pencil. You can read how to work with an electric burner and add patterns to a shelf here.

DIY varnishing

If desired, you can transform our craft by coating it with varnish “On Wood”, preferably colorless. Read how best to Varnish crafts. Try to choose a quality varnish. Lacquering is done with a special brush "For glue". Do not hurry. Try not to leave visible streaks and scratches on the craft.
