Backwards clock
« on: December 13, 2010, 01:40:43 pm »
Does anyone remember seeing, and can point me towards, a clock pattern and/or the workings for a clock that runs counter-clockwise?  I know I saw it somewhere, but I can't find it now.

Thanks a heap,

Bill

Yes, Mark!  At least, that's half of it.  I'm almost positive I saw a scroll saw pattern for the face somewhere, but this is a great start.

Thank you, sir.

A lot of programs will let you print images backwards. You could take a look in the printer settings. I have used it for printing iron-on t-shirt designs. If have a way to edit images, you may even be able to do it in word or similar programs, you could flip an image to be backwards. This may let you use a "normal" clock face for your backward clock.

Just curious, why are you making a backward clock?

Thanks, Termite.

Mrs N, I don't wear a watch, and about 4 years ago I took the clock down from the wall in my office.  I never care what time it is.  The owner of the company told me to put a clock on my wall, so I'm going to do one that runs backwards, with the face a mirror image of a clock, and an inscription that will read something like, "Dare to be different!"

Bill, the non-conformist.

My wife has a wall clock with random numbers of various sizes, and the words "Who Cares?".  She's another person who isn't rule-bound.  Might be a thought for you...
