Hammond Time
We are fortunate at the barn to have spare parts. Some of our spares end up in the junk heap as being beyond economical repair. Other parts get re-purposed. Take for instance a worn HUP rim. This rim was perforated by rust along the outside lip (see the 10 o'clock area) and most of the inside contact area was overly rusted. Rather than chucking it into the scrap pile, the rim is now a clock that adorns my shop wall at home.
The Dollar Store offers plastic clocks for $2.00 CAD that almost fit the opening of the rim. A little hot glue, a fresh battery, and presto: CMP kitch! Just might get something productive done out at the barn this Sunday...time will tell.
