This is one of my custom “Shock Clocks” as I call them. I really get inspired to do this kind of neat, ghoulish work at this time year! These are all hand crafted by me with old school tools. It’s fairly large at over 10" in diameter and made of choice red cedar. I then sandblasted the background for depth and dimension for a creepy look and feel. The outter border is stained with an antique brown to make it scream vintage Halloween, then clear gloss applied in several coats. I decided to leave the black and orange more of a rough, flat color to achieve the look I was after. I designed this clock to have the illusion of actually floating off the wall a couple of inches. Then I neatly rigged the the back with battery powered orange LEDs to give it a hoovering glow once on the wall. There are also 4 LEDs embedded into the 12, 3, 6 and 9 O’clock positions for some added ghoulish glow to the front side. All of the wiring is neatly and carefully tucked away inside the back spacer housing I made, kinda looks like a bomb inside,
I tweaked the hands to give them a spindly look, much like branches or something natural to help keep the Fall vibe intact.
Just like all of my custon theme clocks, this is a 1 of only 1 design! I will never produce another one JUST LIKE IT! I may make something close to it but it would have differences for sure! Again, ALL my clocks are one of a kind, never to be perfectly duplicated! I will be letting this one go if anyone is serious about it, but I did want to share it with you all. I am now offering my custom Shock Clocks again so please let me know if you have a freaky design or desire! I can make these in any theme, shape, size, whatever.
Thanks for looking fellows,
JC
