I had to throw on my instructables shirt to get the juices flowing!! And did it worked I wanted to make a unique clock that I have not seen. my son watches a lot of YouTube videos of people playing this game bendy and the ink machine so i thought i would use that as an idea to get inspired.
i hope you enjoy this instrutable

I wanted to make this a special piece so i cut off the arms head and feet and set them a side for later i then trace the outside of the template to another piece of plywood.
next i screwed them together and sanded down any imperfections and made both side the same.

I added glue to the and place the oversized piece of 1/4" plywood on top and clamped it down.

So my plan is to paint the plywood and use a clear finish on the oak to make it pop!
- using the jig saw to clean the edges off from the over hang.
I had some oak wood left over from another project. i cut the top pieces with a slight over hang of the top.
i used the jointer to get the wood to match up glued and clamped the 3 pieces together .
Next i traces and cut out the feet using the kreg jig i attached the feet to the plywood.
I also traced out the arms in oak and cut them out using the jigsaw.
