Mini grandfather clock

this mini grandfather project is sure to impress anyone who sees it. Please note that this project takes quite a while. From building the structure to ordering the parts to assembling and finishing, you’re sure to busy for a couple of weeks or even a month with this one. Below is a video of the half-finished product.

this is my half-finished grandfather clock. It has a chime, an independent battery-powered clock, a stationary pendulum, tea lights behind the clock, and some led light strips at the bottom. I recommend getting all battery powered lights. Don’t make the mistake i did and get plug in lights. It is a nightmare in terms of appearance. The cords are so hard to hide.
