purchased a battery operated clock movemet online…then stuck it behind the aluminum plate, that hangs independently from the rest.

Looks too big and out of place IMHO… I think if it was smaller and diffrent color it would look better.

the wall is fairly large, i just didn’t’ want to get the lines of coke and half-coherent hookers in the pic.

Actually there are a couple more DIY’s that i didn’t want to get into the pics until they are finished. It works well with the space when you consider the end tables and chair/ottoman which are along the same wall.

I like it, but looking at the CAD, did you consider the minute hand hanging way out of the “art” between 10min -40min ?

indeed…the clock is spaced out about 1/4" beyond rest of the pieces.

+1

As usual it looks like the craftsmanship is top notch though. Just not my style.
