Construction

Make the legs 2 inches longer than the outside length of the box. Remove the cover. Place the box on its end and nail the top in place, allowing its edges to project evenly about 1 inch all around. Invert the box, turning the other end up, and nail on the legs. Measure the diameter of the face of the clock to be used, and, with the dividers, inscribe a circle 1/4 inch smaller in diameter on the original bottom of the box, which is now to be the face of the clock case, placing the center of the circle 6 inches from the lower end of the case. With a keyhole-saw cut around on the circle. Sandpaper smooth the edges of the hole to the correct size. From the cover removed, make a door to fit the case between the legs on the back, keeping the outer face of the door and the outer face of the legs even. Hang the door upon the hinges and screw on the hook and eye to fasten it. Set the clock in place and put a small shelf or block under it to support it at the right level.
