I've had the same problem finding a place for a clock and have had a little loose analog clock rolling around the floor for five years. I would imagine that the wood worker supplies would have those just for those woodwork project that your friend is doing. Can I assume that you just press fit the housing into the bore in the knob? Thanks for posting. Actually had time to look a few clocks up. This is a nice one and appears to be similar to the one your friend found for you. A little more research and I'm sure you could come up with lots of different styles. http://www.woodcraft.com/Family/2001202/2001202.aspx or http://www.klockit.com/depts/ClockI...696&gclid=CMS_9d7n1KsCFY_CKgodACfuQA Denny Graham Sandwich, IL

Yes, it is a friction fit, the clock housing has a rubber gasket that creates the fit. I drilled a 5/16" hole thru to the threaded insert, by doing this I can use a 1/4" dowel to push the clock out. The manufacture says to drill a 1 3/8" hole, my hole was smaller, I just kept checking the fit until I had what I wanted. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 422 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 422 | | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 | Ok, where'd you find the Ivory knob???

Ivory Knob They have one with the threaded insert which has 3/8-24 thread same as the Chevy trucks. They are plastic but look nice, they mill a lot easier than the black bakelite. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 | Ah yes, thanks, and once again, very cool idea.
