    Another project completed - a clock for my reloading room

    A while back, I came across a big round clock (22" diameter clock face) in the thrift store. I wanted a clock for my reloading room, so for $7.99 I dragged it home and cleaned it up. Then I had an idea.....

    I used an old Highpower 200 yard off-hand target that I had saved from back when I used to compete, and used .308/.38spl brass for the hour/minute markers.

    Just finished it today, and it looks pretty good.

    Always looking for vintage Winchester and Marlin lever action rifles. Looking to sell? Know of one for sale? Drop me a line!

                      No, not too heavy at all. It'll hang on a smaller wall anchor just fine.

                        Thank goodness you didn't use 9mm or 45acp.....we would have had endless arguments over which one best represents minutes.....

                          Lol.... 9mm was too short, and .45 was too fat. .38spl was just right. .308 was always gonna be the primary choice, because that's what I used when I fired on this target.
