 Hey Kim, ask me what time it is Garrett. What time is it? It's time to build a new giant pocket watch wall clock We'll show you how we did it right now What is up a welcome back do you like to do a builder to make it so do we and we have a new video each week this week I realized time stands still for no man, and we're running out of time to build a clock a giant pocket watch I Saw this clock. I wanted to do a clock project. I saw it online. It was $150 and I was like no way we can definitely make that cheaper Challenge except and it was definitely the inspiration for this project. So I'm looking forward to it It's going to be wall size, but it is gonna have that pocket watch feel. Yeah. Yeah. All right time to get going Step one we're gonna gather all of our supplies. We needed a backer. So we have this piece of MDF It's a piece of scrap MDF that's 16 by 25 Now you could use a project board here because you can buy them in 16 inch widths in various widths because you would Just adjust your frame size to meet your project board But we had this and we thought it would work fine as the backer for this clock We needed a one by three by eight feet long We needed some trim pieces that'll go around the outside kind of make it look classy and then for the top We're gonna try to make it look like a pocket watch. We're gonna use a little piece of this palette We also need some glue and some inch and a quarter nails and then for the clock face We will be stenciling that so we're gonna use our smart vinyl here our removable vinyl and then we'll need to Stain and paint the clocks it will be using Varathane's briar smoke and then we'll use our Country Chic paint and Vanilla frosting that's gonna go over and we're gonna distress it So you definitely want to use this chalk paint for distressing then I'm gonna add a finial on top to make give it that pocket watch Pocket watch look. I'm either gonna use this finial, which is that's what this is a finial or I'm gonna make my own Because we have an idea here, but we won't know how this plays out until we get to the end You gotta make it look like a pocket watch. I'm gonna I gotta hook my chain on something. Yeah, well, I think it's gonna look cool He's got a good idea. So we're gonna use this tiny little candlestick We're gonna put this round ball on top of it And then we're gonna take this little wooden ring and put that on top of the ball So that's a little bit of work. We'll we'll do that together when we get there And then of course we need our clock pieces. I bought well this one. I got it with chimes So I thought we'll see if we hate this like a grandfather pocket watch And then well if it's gonna hang on the wall, yeah, and then I got these cool little clock hands So I think that's it for my supply list. Yeah, that is it step two We're gonna stain and paint the backer. All right, we're gonna use this Varathane's briar smoke It's time to paint the backer now the stain is dry We're just going to give it a coat of this vanilla frosting now this so we're gonna use the same paint on Both the backer and the frame however for the backer I wanted to be a little more White or solid paint color where the frame is gonna be more of a dry brush technique All right Step three We're gonna apply the clock face We're gonna use some vinyl cut it out on the Cricut lay it down paint the paint the little numbers on there. Let's do it Our image was too wide for one cut so we had to slice it and once it was cut We had to splice it back together using the transfer tape We do we did a pretty good job everything lined up really well Moment of truth here. Oh wait. Let's find the middle of the board. Right. That's right. Let's find the middle And go from there. I'll make a little more get eight over here. All right That is a tiny mark So we're gonna use this cute little two inch roller and we're gonna roll our black paint on here Now here's what I already know I Already know that this vinyl which is removable vinyl not permanent We is already pulling up the paint and I mean like pulling up the paint a lot It's already distressed and it's gonna be super distressed and we're done But I think it's gonna be cool So I'm not too worried about it, but when you see the stunts will come off when you see a mess We already know that it's okay So it's okay do as I say not as I do if you do not want it to pull the paint up like it's about to happen to us You would put a coat of polycrylic down first and then paint your numbers on I didn't do that because I wanted to be able to distress both layers And I felt like if I put the polycrylic on there, I wouldn't be able to distress it at all So I think it's gonna be okay I don't know. Let's see let's see I mean if we have to we do it again. Yeah, it's a little bit of paint Now you want this roller nice and dry You do not want to roll it right through this paint. You're not painting a wall. We're just doing a little bit here Yeah, we're gonna use the heat gun See if that might help get the stencil off What do you think? I think that was way too much paint But let's see in the black and see So That that didn't turn out Well, it's something. It's yeah Something it's just not what I had envisioned and I was okay changing it I don't know. I mean maybe if you just put a dark stained frame Which is different than what I had envisioned originally Yeah, but you'll never be able to tell if it's not a clock Well, should I fix the nine? I mean I could fill it in a little with a paintbrush Or just do the whole thing over again This is where we left it last night Here's where we are this morning stained and painted We're gonna try again I'm debated. I debated at just leaving it But it wasn't my original design. So I have stained painted and now I'm gonna do what I told you to do Put a coat of this clear coat on I've already distressed the bottom layer I'm gonna add the chalk paint on top once this polycrylic dries and distress that This time we left it on the Cricut mat to help line it up and we're gonna use the transfer vinyl to Kind of splice it this time We had to use stencil vinyl because I don't have any more removable smart vinyl and it's oremask 813 So this is stencil vinyl. We've made two changes this time. So it's gotta work this time Added some clear coat and went with stencil vinyl All right, that looks a whole lot hotter Then uh this side. Well, no, I mean it's just a different look That looks good after No, I don't know That one looks like somebody threw it in the driveway Step four Now we're gonna make all of our cuts We're gonna take the one by three and we're gonna get it down to 16 inches and about 26 and a half inches and then we're gonna take this trim and we're gonna give us some miters just to kind of Make that box pop. We're gonna make all these cuts with your friend My friend friend of the show pocket saw Now we're gonna glue it and nail it together We're just gonna put our box frame pieces together first And then we'll kind of piece together the uh trim pieces. All right, we're just gonna add some glue on each end Then we're just gonna hit it with an inch and a quarter brad The nail not the guy Now it's time to piece together our little trim pieces This is my uh, it's my worst part Now I'm just gonna tack this With a quarter inch brad The nail not the guy Damn is all together Already looking classy I like this little lip on the inside I feel famous Step six Now it's time to stain and paint the frame mostly stain We're still using that briar smoke. I'm using the same stain that I started with Time for a little dry brush. We're just gonna use the vanilla frosting Wipe it off of the brush Very dry brush going over top, right? That's right. I want to show a lot of the stain Since this has a lot of the white That was the original design a little bit of contrast Looks pretty good. Cool. Yeah, that's what I wanted. That's good. That's what I envisioned Step seven now we're gonna add the clock face and the clock pieces Kind of like the mouse that saved christmas. We're gonna insert the clock face Then we're gonna add the clock pieces Maybe I should probably drill the hole first. Yes All right, we had a little piece of one by three left We're gonna trim off little one inch pieces to use as braces in the corner We're gonna glue on the bottom So when we flip it back over We're gonna glue itself to it the clocking Sure thing And now we have the accents This is where we take all these little wooden pieces and try to make like the top Piece that looks like a stopwatch piece. Yeah, we're gonna use this piece of palette We're gonna cut it down to six inches and then just glue all these pieces together Maybe cut a hole in the ring so it'll fit around there. This is two inches tall And we just got to paint it it looks It looks awesome. It's used you did such a great job We're gonna use that iron paint and I'm gonna rust it make it look like a real rusty pocket watch I'm gonna add the primer two is to add the oxidizing iron paint Real flex of iron and this is what's gonna make it look real Now we're just gonna hit it with a little splash of the activator It's the rust activator. This is what's gonna make it look old All right five minutes already getting a little rusty. We're gonna hit it again And we're attaching the little windy piece a little bit of wood glue and another brad or two where we'll see We're gonna try to come in from the bottom in the top This thing you're nowhere. All right. Look at that It's looking good. Guess what time it is What time is it? It's time for the project to be over. It's all done. What do you guys think? Looking great, right? Yeah, this is exactly what I had in mind when I saw the inspiration photo This is it. This is it. This is I'm glad we redid it I know that that was a hard pill to swallow We learned our own lesson that we've already shared a million times But if this is exactly what I had seen as our inspiration photo The one we saw online was $150 and this one was less than 40 and look at it. It looks great That's like a fraction of the cost fraction of the cost And And how great is it already that we found another use for this iron paint this oxidizing paint? I was just I was just eyeing up that rust. I was like man that thing up top looks real and real cool I am I am so impressed to me and this was just a Garrett says go see if you can find something for the top And it came back with that little candlestick that ball and the wood ring. Well, we went back for the wood ring It looks great. Yeah. I mean I came out. Whoo-hoo the backside Still has the old clock upside down. All right. We're about at a time So if you're not going to join us for the patron after show, we will see you next week Where we'll do it build it and make it again And this was a good make to Gotta make it official. This is the official balance. This is what closes out a project Right. It's like a stamp of approval And Approved
