I found a bicycle rim with 36 spoke holes,which can be divided equally by 12 .

The daimeter is 20 inchs.

Wipe the extra paste off.

It is much easier when you add a little moisture to the cloth.

post-15248-0-77934000-1423731238_thumb.j

Glue the back with another piece of leather and cut the edge clean.

Leather part almost done.

Fix all spokes.When punching the spoke hole,as smaller as possible.

post-15248-0-45486700-1423732119_thumb.j

Screw the caps of the spokes.Make the circles concentric.

the back.

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~
