• keyhole hanger
• wood carving tools

Instructions:

1. Measure the diameter of the wood and put a dot in the center with a pencil.

3. Chisel out the wood in the outline of the motor, then drill a whole in the middle of the square outline you have just carved out.
4. Sand the wood.
5. Insert the movement motor into the chiseled out square.
6. On the face of the clock use a plate or any circular object to trace out the circle on which the numbers are going to be placed.
7. Install the clock hands in the middle of the circle on the shaft of the motor. Make sure they work properly.
8. Use a ruler to place the numbers around the circle evenly.
9. Finally, install the keyhole hanger.
