Beautiful clocks made from big lumps of reclaimed metal.
Okay ..... this really is the last clock.
Designed by my good friend Liana.
Real miniature maple leafs on it
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This Kickstarter will enable me to build a small, safe production line in my Downtown LA loft. Right now I have the space and I can make one or two at a time, but I need slightly better equipment to make many more.
The metal comes from various metal salvage yards just south of DTLA. The clock mechanisms are the standard quartz movements you find in just about every clock on the planet.
Right now I'm making a few clocks in my small workshop/storage area, but the hand drill and hand saw are barely adequate and probably not that safe. To make these lovely timepieces properly, I need to upgrade a little, hence the Kickstarter.
Fortunately, the USPS can deliver these anywhere in the USA for just $15.
Canada is about $32 and the rest of the world, just over $40. This should be added to the cost of the reward.
Here are a few of the clocks I've made so far.

The good news is that I'm already making these clocks so I already have the workflow down. The Kickstarter is really for the workshop to be able to do them properly.
FAQ
-
I will send out a replacement mechanism free of charge, and instructions on how to install it.
-
I'm working on a way of shipping these overseas. It will cost about $30 extra, because they are heavy.
