Coin clock progress

ElmerFusterpuckElmerFusterpuck Posts: 4,722 ✭✭✭✭✭

Since the forum has had this nice upgrade, though I'd repost my coin clock, along with some progress I've made. I'm trying to find toners that have the majority of the obverse toned, with the 'eclipse' white (or lighter) portion the smallest part. Still playing around with this while looking for more pieces, might turn this into a shirt, poster or a real clock face!

    I would imagine the difficulty with this project is being patient enough to acquire nice examples of each clock position. Still love the idea. What about a nice white obverse in the center instead of the target toned reverse? Good luck!

    Nice - I like the idea!

    Might be nice to add a moon at the top like a classic Grandfather clock - with the various phases of the moon, from waxing to waning. That way you could incorporate more coins (like you really need more of a challenge)... :lol:

    It's very cool. Great coins. But I think that your 12 o'clock looks more like a 1 o'clock.

    Thanks for all the props. I'm with Ricko on that other thread, why the disagrees??? Makes no sense here.

    It will take patience for this set, and it's possible I'll be 5 or 10 minutes off on some of the toners! ;) The clock will get fine tuned over time!
