1、Diy Wooden Watch planning
Choose wood type
Because of the watches we choose to make wooden watches, the first step is to determine the materials for making the watches.
Below is the picture of the wood we can provide.
You can choose the wood you like, you can choose one kind of wood, or you can choose several combinations.
Prepare watch parts
After selecting the wood, before proceeding to the next step of tabulation, you must make sure that you have the following components.
Quartz movement: We generally choose the Japanese citizen quartz movement. Japan’s citizen quartz movement has many advantages. It can be atomic/radio-controlled chronographs, solar energy, “kinetic energy” (rotor power), spring drives, the most advanced movements ever, high-end quartz movements, and more complex movements. Generally, at each price point, the quality of the watch is usually higher.
crown
We can use it to adjust the time.
Other parts
Case, strap, literal, buckle, pointer
These parts can be replaced with materials
In addition to wood materials, metal hands, marble case, leather strap are all very fashionable choices.
The parts made of environmentally friendly wheat stalks and coffee grounds are also very exquisite.
2、Design drawings Diy Wooden Watch
Before making, design your favorite style. Try to use designs that cannot be achieved with your resources. The thickness, the width of the strap. The gap between the glass and the hands, whether the hands of the watch can rotate freely. These are all factors that need to be considered when designing.
Integration
After drawing the watch design, it is time to gather all the required materials. Put them in the box to keep them organized. If you are using an old watch or some parts of a damaged watch, you must first disassemble it. You can use a flat-head screwdriver to open the back cover of the watch. Try to collect all the necessary parts, including the watch movement (also called the movement).
set up
It’s time to build all the basic parts from the bezel to the case. Cut out the design you drew in the blueprint. You can glue them in the wood you like. You can choose from a variety of available woods in your area, or you can use recycled wood. For example, you can use wood from a broken skateboard. Once you have the wood material, you can tailor the design. After finishing, make sure to remove the excess part through the frosted baffle until it becomes smooth. Continue to make obstacles, make the case, and crown.
Assembly
After completing the first four steps, you can now assemble all the parts by gluing them together. You can choose wood glue because it is more durable than white glue. In addition, this adhesive is specially used for wooden materials. Don’t worry about destroying them.
Make
After making the case and other parts, you need to make a link to the strap. Create a center link by directly drilling a hole in the entire part. Then it is sanded to smooth the wood and shrink it to the right size. Once the center link is completed, you can now proceed to the edge link. Compared with the center link, the hole in the edge link should only be drilled halfway.
merge
Finally, link them together and you can use wood glue to assemble the parts again. Then, apply teak oil to prevent the watch from getting wet. Please be careful not to use lacquer, polyacrylate, polyurethane, shellac or varnish, as these materials will bond the chain links together.
