Wifey bought me this one.

Gives me the idea of buying an inexpensive clock and using one of the pics from my old dirt bike racing days. That would be pretty cool.

Thats pretty much exactly what it is! Think the clock was like $10.

If any of you guys have a place like Hobby Lobby around, check them out. You can get clock work for only a couple of bucks, and what you make your clock out of is unlimited. I think I'm going to make one out of my old '62 Impala hubcaps I have.

Some nice clocks you all are sporting, I prefer the one of a kind the folks have made, so classy they are.

The man who has one clock knows exactly what time it is. The man who has two, is never quite sure.

Mine that look exactly like that are Coleman. Worked well for the first 3 or 4 years, but now they are starting to de-laminate.

Just scored one like your downstairs clock from our hospital. It even has the mounting bracket to hang from the wall or cieling.

For now this big clock hangs where I can see it from most of the shop.
I hope to find or make a cool one later
When my office is done this will go in there:

My clock with my logo in matching colored vinyl.
I need to get the sheetrock up in my shop but I need to flash the windows first... they are leaking.

Wow! I'm brand new here and this is my first post. You guys have some fantastic posts. I'm just finishing my manshed on the side of my house and here's my first clock. It hung in the A&P my dad worked in from the 40's until it made its way into my parents house. After my mom passed, it fell into my hands. It's nothing to compare to what a lot of you have, but it means a lot to me.
I have a smaller clock that's a replica of the speedo and gauges on an early Honda CB72. I friend of mine picked it up at the Honda museum in Japan. I'll post a pic when I get a chance.

Great clock! That's what I've been looking for forever. I've been through a gamut of cheap battery clocks, including the ubiquitous tire/wheel clock.
Someday I will find an AC powered schoolhouse clock.

Well I cheated, personaly I hate clocks in the shop but the wife and kids insisted that I install one. For some reason time ceases to exist in my world when I am working on a project.
So here is my copy of Jack Olsen's two faced clock.

My Frosty clock just died and I'm finding out that Syncron clock motors are going for big bucks. Haven't tore it apart yet but I'm betting I can find a cost effective replacement. As for now, at least it's right twice a day. 
This week is No Time for Time Week - Frosty gave it up, the Route 66 clock quit, watch battery died, the answering machine lost it's time/date stamp and the iPhone dock clock in the shop refuses to update from the phone. Anybody know what time it is? Does anybody really care?
>It's nothing to compare to what a lot of you have, but it means a lot to me.
The most important thing.

Falstaff clock from my Grandma's kitchen after she passed. I used to look at this clock every day to see when my mom was coming to pick me up after work, it has lots of history to me.
Now that's a classic clock.

Speaking of backwards-running clocks, here's one way to do it, buried in the middle of this instructable:

Truth is, I don't know how to make them small! I just click on the "image" thing (the one that looks like a mountain on a post card and insert the direct link from Photobucket.
How do you make the little clickable link things so I don't feel so extravagant with bandwidth?
