One of my favorite things to do is to turn trash in to treasure. I was helping a friend move in to a new house. I found an old piece of architectural metal that was horribly rusted. It had a round flat center and spokes with curliques coming off of the center. The piece was really interesting looking, so I asked if I could have it. I brought it home and removed all the rust with my Dremel tool. I drilled a small hole through the top and attached an eye bolt through it. I then used flat black spray paint to coat the whole piece. I was able to purchase a small battery operated clock kit that included gold numbers and hands from Walmart for about $5. I drilled another hole through the center of the circle and installed the clock following the inclosed instructions. It cost me $5 for a totally unique clock! The closest thing I have ever seen to it was in a designer home magazine for about $150!! It now hangs proudly in my dining room.
