the bit that would be hard would be to waterproof the shaft as it is a moving part so will be hard to fit a rubber gasket or similar

I actually double took to make sure i was right lmao


You are :lol: but to be honest the hands on that clock above look the same length to me, so it could be either way.

Thanks Graeme but after a black one.

It would be quite exposed as it would be on a wall with the potential for rain to go against it.

I will have a look at the liquid tape, thanks :thumbs:

I've got a little big clock - it's just aluminium and a standard clock movement inside. How exposed are you planning on leaving it? You could look at the waterproofing stuff Steve used in his RC truck thread to coat the moment?

I actually bought a Karlson one the other week in a copper. Not going to use it now if you fancy buying it? think it would be pretty water proof anyway as there isn't much to it.

Been after a stylish outdoor clock for a while, however all the clocks for gardens just look vintage or dated.

I want one for the garage wall which faces in to the garden, Ive always been a fan of the Karlsson Little Big Time Clock and really want to have that or one of a similar design on the wall but i have been hunting around and no one makes a weatherproof version.

Anyone got any ideas on what it would take to get an interior clock converted for external use?

I guess weatherproofing it is quite straight forward (ish) but its making it so to does not freeze is the hard part :boggle:

The clock in question:



All advice welcome :thumbs:
