Well a couple of bits of offcuts, an old quartz clock movement and the result is a workshop clock of sorts, main hands getting sprayed before fitting and body will be polished and then blued.

Just looking at an empty fairy liquid bottle and bit of round bar..I wonder

It has proved one thing...I need to get a life and get out more

Thanks Knoba.. A mate said that too, although wife said ' Darling,if you think that art deco piece is going to grace our indoors you can think again'... I did modify the words slightly, I have read the forum rules on swearing.

I think it's "well sell-able"!

Desk clock. Turn it upside down & hang it from a dado, shelf or mantle piece, and voila... Wall clock!

The gaps either side of the central column, & the holing, don't (from the photo) look as if they're symmetrical, but... it looks great, just the way you've done it.

They are great spots, I use their flat files and they do the job ok, also aerosols, cheap and handy for little jobs..although it's like Henry Ford...any colour you want as long as it's black!

and the paint brushes are great for fibre-glassing (as long as you don't mind the odd bristle falling out)

£10?

Spend ages going round those finding myself thinking oooo those are good how much are........ never mind.

Seriously though you've been ripped off all the £ shops are being undercut round here by the 99p shops
