🛠️ What You'll Need
- ✅ Wooden clock kit pieces (clock face, hands, gears, frame, and connectors)
- ✅ Wood glue
- ✅ Clock movement mechanism (not included)
- ✅ Battery (not included. AA or AAA, depending on the mechanism)
🧺 Step-by-Step Assembly Instructions
🧡 Tip: Let glue dry completely between steps for a strong and precise final result.
✅ Step 1 – Assemble the Clock Frame
Lay out the wooden frame pieces. Align and slide the slots together to form the outer structure of the clock. Secure with wood glue if needed.
✅ Step 2 – Attach the Clock Face
Place the laser-cut clock face into the center of the frame. Ensure it sits flush and secure it with small screws or adhesive as needed.
✅ Step 3 – Install the Clock Mechanism
Insert the clock movement mechanism through the center hole of the clock face. Secure it tightly with the included nut to keep it in place.
✅ Step 4 – Attach the Clock Hands
Carefully press the hour, minute, and second hands onto the clock mechanism spindle. Make sure they are aligned properly and move freely.
✅ Step 5 – Add Decorative Gears (Optional)
If your clock includes decorative gears, attach them to the frame using small screws or glue. Arrange them for an aesthetic steampunk or industrial look.
✅ Step 6 – Insert the Battery
Open the battery compartment on the clock mechanism and insert the required battery (AA or AAA). Your clock should now start ticking!
