In reply to Cris.

The band is attached all the way around the outside of the “clock” with a nail gun and screws. So just tack each end close to the edge, voila! You have a faux metal band. I hope that helps!
This was my friend Mindi’s project. She’s pretty brilliant, eh?

I’m just finding this amazing clock you’ve made – I’m not sure if you’ll see my post – How did you get the ends of the PVC to stick together? Thank you!

My experience with pvc lattice is that it expands in the summer and shrinks in the winter. Now that your clock has seen the test of time has this been a problem?

I went shopping today. Found the PVC board at Lowe’s with the doors. Had to ask to find it. Found the metal ring at Hobby Lobby by the wooden letters and other crafting things. Found a small piece of steel sheet metal at Lowe’s too. Steel is cheaper than aluminum. Found small nails and carpet racks at Lowe’s too. Went to our antique store that has salvaged wood for the wood base. Oh and the clock parts at hobby lobby. You might have to ask but everything is out there at Hobby Lobby and Lowe’s. Can’t wait to get started.

HI – love your site!! Do you need different sized clock parts, depending on the actual size of the clock? Like one this big as compared to one that is, say, 1 foot across. I have tried googling the questions but am not getting good information! Thank you!

In reply to Nicole. Hi Nicole! Great question, I used oil rubbed bronze spray paint on both. For the band I completely covered it with the spray paint, for the numerals I sprayed from far away with the spray paint can, enough to almost cover them. I liked the speckled look it gives to see some of the silver...but that is just personal preference. I hope that helps!

Question about the spray painting, can you be more specific with what you did for the band versus all the other parts of the clock? Confused if the numerals are just silver or a mix.
Thanks!

Please share what the numbers are made of and where you got them.
