Introduction

You may wonder why I've developed this method ot making the clocks when they could easily be mode from 1/4" thick wood with no gluing of a backing piece required. As a personal preference I don't like the back of the clock inserts to show. With my two piece method, the back is hidden from view and has a more professional look.

INSTRUCTIONS
