STEP-2
Step-2
Take an old long laying Record.
Divide it into 12 parts. Each angle should be 30 degrees.
360 divided by 12 = 30 degrees.
Now cut the colored radium tapes into shapes of lines, figures, Numbers, dots and many other shapes you prefer.
Each shape may be 12 pieces for the 12 hours, or as you find fit to apply.
Then stick the shapes on the marked hour points of the Record.
Now your clock face is ready.

Cut a piece of wood 3" x 1/2"x 1/2". Long.
Make a V cut in the middle of the wood piece so that the nail in the wall sits on it without making the clock to spin.
Cut another wood piece 1 x1/2 x1/2 to be fixed at the bottom of the clock so that the clock stays parallel to the wall.
Both the pieces of wood are fixed to the record by screws.
