Jetsons wall clock!
Jane, stop this crazy thing!
While decorating my retro living room we decided a new wall clock would be nice. I searched around and found several oh-so-funky examples that led me to this design.
There was a certain optimistic vision of the future portrayed in the Jetsons and in the shows design style. The jumble of odd shapes and angles paired with pastel colors evoked a sense of dazzle for the future, while keeping us grounded in the present. (50s and 60s present, that is.)
I decided to build this project using only my hand-held power tools to remind us that:
I hope you can pick up some ideas from this project and make something of your own. Ive packed the video with a plethora of tips to get you thinking differently about woodworking and realize that its something anyone can tackle. All you need is a little imagination. Kind of like the Jetsons universe.

I decided to build this project using only my hand-held power tools to remind us that:
- Woodworking can be accomplished with very little investment in tools. A jig saw doesnt cost much but is incredibly versatile. There are very few cuts it cant handle.
- You dont need a lot of space to do some woodworking and make some cool stuff for your house. This project and the tools I used can easily be stored in an apartment closet.

MBR TV Wall Trellis Stencil Update
David cut out this stencil for me! arent I lucky? (he is better with detail work like this - I think I move too fast ...)
I will be painting the wall that the tv is on with this - now to decide, yellow or gray?
This week I have been working on so many different things -
1. Logo design contest for where David works
2. Fixing the frame on a broken mirror
3. Getting the other half of the round table ready to be painted (it will be going on the first landing - inside the front door)
4. Setting up an etsy.com store to sell graphic design prints
Nothing is done yet, but I will be sure to share once I finish!
