Telling time...

Measuring to place the numbers that Steve made us!




















Cutting the board to fit the frame.

















Putting the nails in to hold the numbers. Watch your fingers! Ouch!

Waiting for glue...

Waiting for the glue to dry was a big long challange for the project while getting started. The Florida heat and humidity did not help us in our artistic ventures while attempting to get the project done. After carefully cutting the boards we then went on to place them into the wagon wheel frames. Boy was that a fun time! HA! You will then go on to see that we painted the boards white and aged them with the use of mineral spirts and brown oil based paint. It gives a great old style feel to the final project.

Old made new...

Here you are seeing the start and finish product of a lot of mineral oil and washing of the wheels to bring this rusted metal wheel back to life and it's beauty!

Here is how we pulled, cut, and pushed these now glued boards into their new but old frames. It is coming along.

All about time...

This was a labor of love weekend on Labor Day 2010. Dianne [Mother -in-Law], Nikki [ sis-in-Law] ,and I got together to make our wagon wheel clocks. A special thank you goes to "Steve the blacksmith" and the "Junk Yard Man" not only for making the awesome numbers for our clocks, but for also providing all the metal for the project. His work is top of the line! They made this little project come to life for us all. We glued, cut, and rubbed our way toward making these big wagon wheel clocks. Which now hang on our walls at home. You can follow the process .

Power is Out....AGAIN!

The power goes out a lot in the North Woods.

Tom, my nephew, and I had fun taking pictures and playing cards with Grandma on a friday night in Wisconsin.

We all had a good time together.

Girl Time....

Just a little girl time spent between Mom and me while visiting in Wisconsin. We took in a card making class together and got to learn some great new techniques while there. Great fun on a rainy, cold Wisconsin morning up in Eagle River.

Just a Taste....

Just a little sample of what is to come....
