Wall Clock

Basic Description

Here is a free plan to create a clock built into the wall of your choice. Simple battery-operated clock movements are inexpensive and easy to acquire. It is a relatively short process and you can give any room a more regal look with this simple project. Note that these plans are for installing a clock in a wall made of wallboard or drywall (brick, stone, or thick plaster walls cannot accommodate the shaft lengths of standard clock movements).

Materials

Clock movement and battery. If you would like to cover the access hole (recommended), you will also need flush-mount cabinet hinges and a small piece of plywood. A complete material list is provided below.

Tools

Drill, proper-sized drill bit for shaft of clock movement, utility knife or jig saw, measuring tape. If you are planning on covering the access hole, see the complete tool list is provided below.

Cost

The plan itself is free! Estimated cost of materials: $12

Description

Battery operated clock movement. These are commonly available at craft stores and also via online merchants. Ensure that the shaft of the clock movement is long enough to reach through the thickness of your wall.

Battery

If you are going to cover the access to the clock movement (see plan for details) you will also need flush-mount cabinet hinges, a piece of wood large enough to cover the opening, and appropriate fasteners for the hinges.

Tool List

Tool

Drill and appropriately sized drill bit (see clock movement instructions for dimensioning).

Measuring tape

Utility knife or carbide cutter

If you are making an access panel, you will also need the necessary tools to prepare the access door: notably a saw and a router if you would like to provide a profile for the edges.
