Make a Clock out of a Bicycle Brake Disc

It helps that when you are choosing the clock, the length of the minute hand of the clock is a little less than the radius of the brake disc. I went for a clock with metal gold coloured hands, but the black or the silver ones would look as nice i think. Take out all the screws on the back of the clock that hold the front and back together, normally 3 or 4, so that the front of the clock comes off. Sometimes, the front transparent screen of the clock is held in place by a few little plastic clips, so use a thin flathead screwdriver to get it out.

Unless you do, than that's ok too. ;) Sorry, I would have emailed you the info, but there's no contact. :) I was also asked how I got the numbers to be perfect on the board, I used a template of a clock online.
