Let's see your Shop Clock

[aar0s]

Built with parts saved from the scrap pile!

Bruce

I was thinking something along the same line

 

[Wayfastwhitie440]

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?

Bruce

I click on the manage attachments in the additional options just below the quote screen. I bring my files in from whatever file I have them in from my computer. I have a photo bucket account and ported them from there maybe once.

It works (with my other shop clock included so as to not derail this topic).

I got this one a few years ago when my friend's Dad died. I think of him every time I see the clock. RIP Donny.


My other time piece.....

 

[FatFenderBowTie]

My newest clock...and my pops car on the calendar beside it.

 

[woodstockva]

Here is my functioning Knipex clock & my "decoration" Pabst Blue Ribbon clock

 

[dirtybiker]

My clock. It's time to go to bed when I can't read it any more.

Even quicker and easier is to click on the IMG code of the pic in photobucket (doing this automatically copies the code) then right click 'paste' the code straight into a post on here. When you submit the post the image will display.

No need to use the 'mountain post card' thing.

This one is mine as well.

Here's my shop clock.......

It was my birthday present 10 years ago from the guy who's bike I crashed into oblivion at the track. I highsided his Yamaha R6 (same as my avatar) & of course it went end over end multiple times before it came to rest in a bunch of pieces across the track.

The clock is the hub & brake disc section of the rear rim.

Just bought this

 

[BearCuda]

One of mine

 

[BearCuda]

And another

 

[works4me]

Just mounted mine:

Not quite the same style as most of the others here...

It auto-sets itself. And having relative humidity and temperature are helpful.

 

[MN4x4]

Not collectable or anything, just got tired of not being able to see the D@*n hands from the other end of the shop. Numbers are nearly 5" tall.



I have it mounted above my door. It comes with its own remote control so you don't have to climb a ladder to set/reset it.

Where did you buy that at ?

Where did you buy that at ?

Amazon:

The picture on Amazon is ****, so I used a different picture but this will get you what I bought - a nearly identical item at 1/3 the cost.

Cool as hell clock.

Mike.

 

[zmotorsports]

My Miller clock.

My Harley Davidson clock.

My wife gave me the HD clock about 7 or 8 years ago. It sounds off a Harley engine starting at the top of every hour. I love this clock. Whenever working and I hear it fire off it makes me smile and think of my lovely wife and how good she is to me.

Mike.

 

[jkherd]

Here's mine

 

[zkling]

Please go easy on me now. I know it's a bit tacky, but it was $1 at the thrift store and has a USA made quartz mechanism.

I got this one for Christmas several years ago...

 

[Beachside Hank]

Rescued mine from an old microwave oven curbside. Does more than just keep time, it is useful to turn off after a pre- determined time, like charging my H.F. drill battery- the cheap ones don't have an auto shutoff feature. Some guys also use it for their soldering iron, in case it's forgotten it shuts safely off unattended. When punching in a cook power, it becomes an on- off- on cycle timer up to 100 minutes. It is also an annunciation timer, with the ubiquitous beep, beep, beep piezo horn. Useful if I'm engaged elsewhere in the shop timing something not electrical like epoxy, etc.




Here I'm discovering which wires I need, and salvaging the rest- got some Cherry brand micro switches, and of course the transformer which, someday, will become a spot welder.

Nice! Did you make it?

I love this. You've obviously already forgotten more about electricity than I'll ever know.

 

[Chevy72pu]

My $30 antique shop find. Added a bulb and plugged it in. Keeps great time.

we need a build thread on how to do this. I know I could use 1 or 2 of them in the shop.

......TRIMMED to save space

That is a genius idea. Great job

I got the idea from several places, but this guy pretty much covers it quite well:

Almost forgot; mine uses a solid state triac for switching, the oven was rated for 700 watts so I figure its good for up to that, if I was controlling a larger load like a motor I'd wire a contactor to be fired by the timer and let it switch the load.

I made this from a 4th stage compressor disc from a ALF502R turbofan engine

 

[Scott H in Wheaton]

Not too exciting, but it was free and I thought the size and color went well with my faux brick wall

Must be one damn expensive clock!

Very nice!

This is a pretty cool thread. Some of you guys have some sweet clocks. Here's mine that our Town Fair Tire rep gave me.

 

[GCncsuHD]

Clock on the left, made from a Dodge hubcap, and air cleaner thermometer on the right.

Very cool. My Dad's retirement gifts (in 1981) included a clock inset into a Pratt & Whitney Canada vane ring. I have it tucked away for when I have a proper office in my retirement home.

Keepsake from living in the great state of Georgia for 10 years.

 

[Kevkx125]

Coworker made this for me many years ago.
