The cheapest clocks are cd clocks. Print up a standard inkjet printable cd or dvd, attach a clock mechanism to fit and the face is held upright by a wire clip arrangement at the base. Sublimation clocks tend to be significantly more expensive, which can become a concern when you are trying to sell your products at a realistic price.

Our wooden clocks are made of the same material as the coasters, placemats, jigsaws so if you know the quality that they print up then the clocks will be the same.

i use the ones from BMS they come out great, but i sell @ £30.00 each so not many sales. I also use their placemats and drill a hole in the middle and use that aswell, because it`s bigger than their square ones

Great idea Nash - I was thinking the same thing .................. perhaps a coaster could also be used as a mini clock (not sure if the mechanism is too big though?).

A little bit back, I bought clock parts from this place: http://www.clockparts.co.uk/ (you can select your own hands)

I haven't sold too many clocks because the blanks are just too expensive to make them affordable. The best clocks used to be those large 30cm round glass ones - a real pain to post, though! :wink:
