Make a Cool Accent Table Out of a Clock

Just walking through your garage or storage space can reveal the supplies needed to make something really cool. I picked up the base for this clock table at a tag sale for $1 and stuck it in my garage knowing I would find a use for it some day.  It was originally the base of a bubble gum machine.  One day when I was taking down a non-working clock from my kitchen, I thought about how I could repurpose it. I remembered the stand stored in my garage and went to work on assembling the two pieces into one cool table.  I reinforced the back of the clock with some small cuts of wood, then used screws and glue to join the pieces. And now we have a "timeless" piece of furniture.
