Topic tags/keywords: wanted trade clock shop supplies question If anyone has access to one of the old factory, school or office clocks (see photos for example), I am wiling to swap some exotics, pen blanks, whatever you might need…I even have a surplus of small tools, routers, etc we could discuss… Would like a metal framed clock with glass cover in running order please, something around the 12” to 15” range would be great. No Roman Numerals please.
Thanks! -- Randy "You are judged as much by the questions you ask as the answers you give..." |

I can understand your wanting a clock like you describe, but have you thought about making one that will exhibit your talent? A high-torque movement, some large hands and your own face design could give you a clock up to 18” across. Just sayin’..... -- Bill, Thomasville, GA |

Thanks Bill, the only movements I can find for clocks in our area are all very small, 8” at most, and I really would like a larger one. My original thought was to build one, but it seems simpler to buy or trade for one… Thank you for your input though! -- Randy "You are judged as much by the questions you ask as the answers you give..." |

Why would you not make one? Movements are cheap. -- Bondo Gaposis |

Klockit.com has a high-torque movement rated for up to 17.5” hands, so you could make a clock up to three feet across. That might be a bit overkill, but… The page the link takes you to has links to hands, etc. -- Bill, Thomasville, GA |

Thank you Charlie, this looks like what I need and they are reasonable too. Thanks for the other suggestions too, sounds like you really want me to build one, but I don’t. :) -- Randy "You are judged as much by the questions you ask as the answers you give..." |
