Chose the Plank

To choose how to place the plank, i put them on the flor to look how does it look.

I just paint the blue planks just to have an other color, just wood color will be bored.

Fix the Plank and Cut the Circle

I fix the plank together with 2 other plank.

The most important step, is to cut correctly the corcle.

For that I cut the circle by hand (so this is not a good circle) ans after I add a planl on the table of my band saw and drill a hole a 50cm of the blade.

And after a put a nail in the cercle of my clock and on the hole of the table.

Now just to power on the band saw and turn!!

Now we have a perfect circle, you can see on the photos :)

Time to Paint the Number
