Did you have to chisel out the back for the clock mechanism to fit?

That's a great idea, as long as you have access to plenty of spools they should sell like hotcakes.

Spool/Clock TABLE!

Anybody can easily make a spool table.
Making a big spool clock face is a newer and unique idea.
But what if you combined the two top photos to make a Spool Clock/Table? !!!
As described above, make your clock face for the spool table. Then, add some clear acrylic stand offs along the edges to support a glass/plexiglass top, which would sit over the clock face. That way it'd always be time to eat, drink and be merry!

Plan on making a coffee table for our new house and I might just have to give this a try as well. Thanks for posting.

I am thinking this may be a summer project for me and my son. I am just not sure where to get a spool. Any suggestions?

[jackbauer]

that's a darn good job.
