Description 

I'll let the clock speak for itself, but I think spelling out the numbers is crucial and I also like how they are randomly placed around the game board. Here's how to make it:


Instructions 
  1. 1
    Step 1

    First drill a hole through the center star, when you look at the board, you'll notice it's off center, but I think the star is the place to drill!


  2. 2
    Step 2

    In order for the board not to fold over onto itself, the back should be braced with a two small wooden rulers. Use wood glue to attach the two pieces, so they cross the middle fold


  3. 3
    Step 3

    See the fold: You want to prevent this from moving.


  4. 4
    Step 4

    Now use the same wood glue to attach the tiles, use the glue sparingly and quickly remove any glue that seeps from underneath the tile.


  5. 5
    Step 5

    Place several heavy books over the top of the tiles, to weight them in place, allow the tiles to dry in place for several hours and perhaps overnight.


  6. 6
    Step 6

    Once dry, insert the clock mechanism, assemble the clock and hang that baby!


  7. 7
    Step 7

    Finished project, I guess you could also use different words in place of the numbers, as long as they are in the same location.

    Happy National Craft Month!

hey just a question but does the game come with all the letters you'll need? I'm gonna make one for a friend who LOVES this game and I want to know if I'm gonna need more than what it comes with. Thanks :)
