Round table upcycled to a wall clock


I got a round table without legs from a lady and I remembered I clipped this idea of a table turned into a clock. I bought a battery operated high torque clock movement and turned the table into a wall clock. I made the stencils for the roman numerals because it was easier and less work than the regular numbers. I downloaded the numbers from the internet and printed them on a plastic paper used for scrap booking.
I have so much wall space I needed something large. I got tired of the mirror leaning against the wall. There is an electrical outlet over the fireplace for a TV but we would never put a TV over the fireplace. We like the fireplace as it is and we don't want the TV to distract. The clock was a perfect solution and it is up and we don't have to go to the stove in the kitchen to check the time.
