Description:
Use 1x4's at each joint to keep the pieces together, and then cut out the front opening for each box. Build a frame for each that is about 1/8" smaller in each dimension than the opening you made for a door frame. Adhere plexiglass to the back side of each frame, and attach it with hinges. Then screw in a bolt about 1/2 inch shy of all the way for a handle on each little door. Now you can add a printout of a clock like pictured, or install a real clock and pendulum.

Start out by making the dimensions for your clock. The top section is 16 inches high x x12 inches wide x 12 inches deep. The bottom section is 48 inches high x 10 inches wide x 8 inches deep. Then I made a scroll pattern for the top of the clock by folding a piece of thin cardboard in half and drawing it on there. Then cut it out and unfold it to have a perfect symmetrical pattern. The bottom one is done the same way except the side scrolling patterns are flat on their sides.
