Description: Anyone with a home workshop can probably relate to the constant feeling that it might be time to clear out a few things! It can be so hard to do that; both because I hate to see things end up in a dumpster, and because I know I can use all of the materials. I decided to use only items I had collected to create a clock and I am so proud of the result! Using a wooden storage crate, plywood, the metal ring clamp from an old 55-gallon drum, the finials from a salvaged section of fence, and a clock motor I had on a shelf, I built a wood and metal industrial style wall clock. Why pay hundreds of dollars for a similar look when you can recycle materials you already have—or can save from the junkyard— to create your own for free? I could not be more pleased with the way the clock turned out and feel a great sense of satisfaction that I was able to look around my shop and find all of the materials; rather than spend a lot of money to buy a similar clock or buy the items needed to make it. The combination of wood and metal is such a popular trend and I was able to achieve the look without leaving my workshop! Next time you’re tempted to buy a home decor item don’t hesitate to accept the challenge to build it yourself from recycled and found materials!
