Project Two: peep hole project

This next project was one I knew I was going to enjoy because it's exactly what I love about sculpture and that's working with my hands and tools. I started with an old clock that was manufactured during the 40's. It was of Japanese origin I believe it was Seikosha long drop regulator wall clock. It was by far a magnificent piece from the beginning. 


this is the best representation of the original I could find, it's beautiful.

I started by removing the mechanics of it:


and I started to modify the casing to best suite my needs for the peep holes:


 created the main cover and added the original glass

 each compartment will have a peep hole:


 Added the  hinge to seal up the box:
