how to make a 24-hour clock | HOW-TO of the week

the original 12-hour clock

1. Find a clock, preferably a large one, that you don't mind taking apart.
2. Disassemble the clock, removing its movement, face, and hands.
3. Decide whether you want your 24-hour clock to have midnight on the top or bottom.
4. Find a 24-hour clock face online that fits with this decision or design your own face.
5. Measure the size of the old clock face and adjust your new one to approximately the same dimensions.

6. Print your 24-hour clock face. I printed mine out at Walmart as a 16"x20" photo.
7. Cut it to size, if necessary.
8. Find a 24-hour clock movement. I ordered mine from Klockit.com.
9. Find hour and minute hands (and a second hand, if you want), paying attention to how long the hands need to be to fit the face. I ordered mine online from the same website: Klockit.com.
10. Assemble your clock, using the new face, new movement, new hands, and old clock frame. If you ordered the movement from Klockit, detailed assembly instructions will be included.
