Members boma Posted February 12, 2015 Members Report Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Hi friends,here i share the steps how i made the strange clock... Edited February 12, 2015 by boma Quote
Members boma Posted February 12, 2015 Author Members Report Posted February 12, 2015 I found a bicycle rim with 36 spoke holes,which can be divided equally by 12 . The daimeter is 20 inchs. Make sure the size of the leather part.And the position of the center. Divide the circle into 12 zones. Quote
Members boma Posted February 12, 2015 Author Members Report Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Draw the pattern on the paper model. Copy the pattern with tracing paper. Cut the leather according to the paper model.I choose 4mm thick leather to work with. Draw the pattern onto the leather from the tracing paper. Cut the outline. Edited February 12, 2015 by boma Quote
Members boma Posted February 12, 2015 Author Members Report Posted February 12, 2015 Edges,you know.... Interspaces? Shaddow?I am not sure.But I think if the leather comparatively dryer ,better,doing this step. Make the decorative cuts. Quote
Members boma Posted February 12, 2015 Author Members Report Posted February 12, 2015 The basket print,in the center and arround. I make the edge into a stage shape,more delicacy. My makers mark in Chinese. Masure the The difference in diameter ,and make sure the lenth of the spokes we need. Cut the spokes by the right lenth. make new thread on the spokes Quote
Members boma Posted February 12, 2015 Author Members Report Posted February 12, 2015 Dye the parts which should be strenghtened. Paste work. Quote
Members boma Posted February 12, 2015 Author Members Report Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Wipe the extra paste off. It is much easier when you add a little moisture to the cloth. Glue the back with another piece of leather and cut the edge clean. Do not know the tool's name in english Stitch. A little red makes the clock more active. 削边器 Edited February 12, 2015 by boma Quote
Members boma Posted February 12, 2015 Author Members Report Posted February 12, 2015 Dye and pollish the edge. Leather part almost done. Fix all spokes.When punching the spoke hole,as smaller as possible. Screw the caps of the spokes.Make the circles concentric. the back. Fix the clock. Quote
Members boma Posted February 12, 2015 Author Members Report Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Finish,hang up and make a cup of coffee... Al though I enjoy the idea and procedure of making this clock,I am not sure how it looks. I wish the common components ,the rim and spokes,did not make a low touch .Did they? Any suggestions? Thanks~ Edited February 12, 2015 by boma Quote
Members Ash Posted February 12, 2015 Members Report Posted February 12, 2015 Excellent work, I really like it! I think that brass hardware or "vintage" (worn) look steel could help the final look. just my thought p.s.: a question: what swivel knife is that?
