Upcycling an old clock case

[AndyGSi]

This maybe sacrilege to some but while things are quiet at work I decided to turn an old clock case into a display cabinet.

This is phase 1 with just a little more touching up required.

Being a joiner , I shudder at some of the things people do to old furniture. An example my sister wants my french polished Elm Ercol table and chairs that was bought by my parents when I was born....and paint it !!!. Saying that re-purposing can bring an unused unwanted piece back up life.  What you've done Andy looks great . It depends entirely what you are covering over, once done there's no going back.

Not sacrilegious at all. Repurposing redundant objects I always consider a good thing , somthing that may well have been put in the tip has another useful life. May I suggest maintaining the horological theme use it for displaying your watch collection . Somewhat fitting for the old clock case.

Unless of historical importance or very expensive, I'm in favour of Upcycling. Furniture and watches included.

What's the intended use?

In college, I repurposed an upright grand piano into a bar. Complete with wine glass racks, bottle racks, shelving, and a flip top for storage of bar tools. The only parts used that didn't come from the piano to begin with was paint and some track lighting that went behind the wine glasses. Eventually got tired of moving it around between apartments, and sold it for a small fortune.

It intended for small trinkets and will just sell on when done.

If I told you it already had a quartz movement in and the dial is about 0.5mm thick would that make it any better?

I'd thought about doing it with this one but gave it to a friend instead.
