 We just made this giant foam metal wall clock using a jigsaw and our polar laser, and we'll show you how we did it right now What is up a welcome back do like to do a builder make it so do we and we have a new video each week So be sure to like comment subscribe and hit that bell to be notified of our new videos this week If you've watched our channel for a while, then you know that I like big clocks, and I cannot lie Yes, we do a new clock just about once or twice a year. Yeah, I do love making clocks So I like finding new ways to make clocks Yeah So this one's different than any of the ones we've done before where they're always a little bit different This one's different because we're gonna show you how we're gonna make a 36 inch clock using our desktop laser Kind of jigsaw the easy way a step one. We're gonna gather all of our supplies We needed a sheet of half-inch plywood. We needed a sheet of five millimeter plywood a jigsaw our omtech polar laser We're gonna need some paint. We're gonna make this look like metal so galvanized metal So we're gonna use this hammered silver little primer to primer boards first sandpaper to smooth out those rough edges and some glue and Some stain and some Step two, we're gonna make all of our cuts I'm gonna show you a new trick that I learned to make a perfect circle out of plywood using a jigsaw and His new favorite thing some alien tape alien tape. I love my alien tape I'm gonna use the panel saw to cut this five millimeter inch plywood Down to something that will fit inside the desktop laser I'm gonna go with like 10 by 18 that way I'll get the most out of each board I Have this little five millimeter scrap left over from cutting the five millimeter plywood I'm gonna cut just a little slot in there kind of try to line it up with the foot there I'm just cutting a little slot so the blade will slide in So the blade will slide in when I put it on the other way I'm gonna use some alien tape. I love this stuff I'm gonna use some alien tape and tape my jigsaw to this piece of wood Now I'm measuring it using the backside because once this alien tape sticks to something it is stuck Now I'm gonna try to keep the foot the left side of this drill or left side of this saw I'm gonna try to keep that foot flush with the board So I get a nice even cut I'm just gonna press it down. It says hold it for 30 seconds Now I want this clock to be 36 inches around so I'm gonna measure 18 inches from the blade I'm gonna leave a little mark Then I'm gonna measure how deep the blade goes back that it's about an inch So I'm gonna measure an inch down here so that this hole is even or level with the blade up at the top I'm just putting a little tiny hole in here just enough so that I could get a screw in there and The screw will spin freely. I'm gonna find the center of the board that I'm gonna cut the circle out of I'm just gonna draw an X and wherever the X lands is the middle corner to corner Now I'm gonna place the hole that I just drilled over the X that I just made and Gonna put a screw through the hole and try to hit the center of that X and then screw it in there I don't want to screw it too tight though I want the saw to be able to move around freely or the little compass to move around freely I'm using a drill bit the size of my saw blade just to start a pilot hole Right out on the edge I'm gonna have to bend the blade just slightly to get it in the pilot hole But that's fine It'll even out as it goes around and then I'll just continue around until I cut past that pilot hole I'm not gonna push at all. I'm letting the saw do all of the work I'm just simply spinning the board underneath the saw. I mean, this is pretty brainless I don't I don't even need to pay attention. I guess I don't want to lose any fingers, but otherwise This is really easy I'm gonna continue on past that pilot hole like I said just to make sure that it's Nice and even and clean. I'm gonna keep going a little bit more Remove the screw and I have a perfect circle perfect All right, I have my perfect circle. I mean that was a lot easier than I thought. He's making me hold the board Now I'm gonna take this five millimeter plywood over to the omtech polar laser And we're gonna cut out all of our numbers for our clock and sand. We're gonna sand and paint We're trying to get the surface nice and smooth so that when we spray it with that hammered steel look It'll look like hammered steel and not soak into the wood. So we're gonna sand it really well We're gonna prime it really well, and then we're gonna sand it really well You know, I love Brand new sandpaper. Yeah, I love new sandpaper That new sandpaper feel Glows they don't come all the way down. I was gonna say I think they're great Oh, you know what though? The gloves don't fit You must have quit. Which means you're not gonna stay Come on. Well, then I've got some rubber gloves you can use It's nice and smooth and we want to give it that galvanized look I want the metal look But I don't know where to get metal and I can't cut metal if you guys followed our previous videos the last time Garrett cut metal he almost I don't know. He's behind this ball here He almost stabbed himself in the eye with some some metal shears. Anyway We're gonna use this hammered silver spray paint to give it that galvanized look. That's what they called me in college Hammered silver. Hammered silver We're gonna start by laying embers around the outside Around the outside You're in this little tool that I made to help us space them out once we think it's all right We're gonna glue them all down with a little bit of star bond thick. I guess we'll start at High noon. Oh, it must be at the bottom. I don't see noon. I didn't even answer you Was that the one here on your hand? It was the one on my hand. Okay, so tell me how you made this little jig So I just made it so it would space the one that it's on and then the two next to Yeah, wait a minute. Do we have oh no, what is this? They can't have two letters, okay? You can't am I looking at it wrong? What are you talking about? Well IV would be four But you can't have IIV I'm just saying like vii is seven Yeah, huh? That's seven. Okay. Let's just keep going That's nine six seven. Where's eight? Is that IV? Was it? Well, I can tell this was the back. So yeah, that was the back one two six seven nine No, no, no, it's vii three three eyes after it. That's eight. Are you sure? Yeah, a hundred percent I'm good with my Roman numerals I guess I will go. I made up Roman numerals. So it's vii. I don't know. I was just That looks right. I'm not Roman. I'm not Roman Matt and then I saw this number and I was like, I don't know what that number is Did you know you could get all of our files behind the scene content and even a Kim and Garrett after dark podcast as well as Monthly zoom calls access to a secret Facebook group and we'll even send you one of these fancy t-shirts all for $20 a month It's the best way to support this channel. So join us over at patreon.com I'm back with the right eight Based on what a Roman numeral eight look like It's not like I use them in my my daily day. What you don't normally count in Roman numerals Nope, I don't I use my abacus instead Bits and pieces I'm gonna widen the hole that the little screw is in to help me draw my perfect circle I'm gonna widen it and then we'll add a little clock pieces Does it these this one doesn't tell you exactly the Size of the shaft. There's no shaft size. I'm just kind of guessing Well, I mean it should tell you I did not see any markings I'm gonna use some painters tape to protect my Fo metal while I'm drilling the hole. We're gonna go from front to back, right? So doesn't front to back through You'll front to back. It's not big enough I can add some d-hooks so that we can actually hang this big guy But first we're gonna put them on a little scrap of Half-inch plywood is a little scrap from cutting circle. I'm gonna add the d-hooks To this piece of scrap. I'm gonna add some star bond to the back We'll level it. I'll put it up on there and then throw two screws in the back of this guy Pinning it to the back of the clock and we're doing that because the clock piece sticks out the back a little bit This is about the same width and allow the the clock to hang flush Yeah, should hang flat instead of being all kicked out laid back. I have it down here on my feet That's why I'm all in doing like this The great thing about these d-hooks they come with the screws already in there. All you have to do is just screw right in I don't need it hanging all caddywampus You can use wood glue. Yeah, you can use a little bit. Star bond just happens to be what's handy That's my favorite right there. Star bond is like my Frank's red hot Whoa, what's happening? Oh, you can do it like that. Yeah, right is that straight up and down? Yes Want to draw a little line so that you can lay it down flat and screw it in No, just hold it. No, I'm gonna push against you. Oh, no, no, no, no. All right, you guys stop moving it. I Was ready to go What do you mean not like that? I can't lay it down. Yes, you can Well, why add a step? Well, maybe we're not Using the best method and are you serious huge the biggest wrist watch ever small desktop? laser big project taking these numbers and then breaking your pieces down into smaller pieces that can be Reassembled larger. It's a great way to think outside of your cutting area Yeah, leave me a comment down below about the biggest project you ever made on your laser and with that I think we are up if you're not gonna join us for the patron to have to show we will see you next week or we'll do it building and make it again and Don't forget about Tuesday is where we're live and we do some kind of test cut or something every Tuesday This thing's a lot heavier than it will one finger. Why are we doing it?
