Take the Time,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Ultimate Clock Book: 40 Timely Projects from Wood, Metal, Polymer Clay, Paper, Fabric and Found Objects (Hardcover)
This is an absolutely fabulous book. I love clocks and wanted to make some. I had one idea that I had been working with, but this book has FORTY. Instructions are clear, materials lists are clear, photography is gorgeous and inspirational. All the clocks look really different (definitely not just variations on a theme). Some projects require an actual clock while some need only a movement. There are clocks for every taste, from folksy to funky. They work with everything from found objects to cardboard to polymer clay. There are galleries of photos for added inspiration as well as histories, factoids and amusing lists. I will definitely be doing many of these projects.

I've been searching for a book that would give me a basic understanding of clock making without all the complicated instructions found in most. This one is highly illustrated and a great book to look at even if you don't make anything. The designs are unique and I'm glad I bought it. Isabow

Time to be disappointed !,

This review is from: The Ultimate Clock Book: 40 Timely Projects from Wood, Metal, Polymer Clay, Paper, Fabric and Found Objects (Hardcover)
The glowing reviews tempted me to invest my time and money, only to be disappointed when the big day came and my copy of the book arrived on my doorstep. All the clocks are half-baked ideas you will see if you visit craft/bazaar/antique stores. Each featured clock is based on the standard timepiece (no surprises there) you're likely to find at most retail outlets which maintain a craft shelf, yet none of the ideas serves as springboards in any direction - not one of the projects even offered some previously unforeseen technique or variation of craft in the various media involved, nor use of tools.Fortunately we have a caged bird, so my copy will provide some utility prior to topping off a local landfill.
