Assemble a Quartz Clock Movement, Dial, and Hands

This video will attempt to show how to assemble the bought pieces of a clock to the made pieces (that were also bought unless you're a thief or have generous friends). Do not be discouraged... you don't need a girlie face... on the clock dial... and lipstick during assembly is optional.

This video is brilliant!!! I searched for a video to show me how to fix hands on my clock and came across this, and so glad I did. You are hilarious!!!! Love from the UK :)

[@alexkara9696]

Thanks MS... change from SWMBO calling me "funny peculiar" rather than "funny ha-ha"!

[@emmakeenan5704]

Great instructions.. and I can relate to the fat fingers too.. and definitely a few giggles in there too!! Absolutely love the clock too 😃

[@alexkara9696]

Thanks for looking... If it made you chuckle, it wasn't a total waste.

[@graceng5525]

This was so helpful! I bought a clock kit and thought that my minute hand hole was incorrectly cut as it was a rectangular shape. I am going to have a second go at it. Thanks so much and thanks for the laughs!

[@alexkara9696]

Hi Grace... Thanks for the encouragement... glad/hope it has been helpful... enjoy your second attempt.

[@rubyus7332]

You just saved my sanity! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

[@alexkara9696]

Thank you... If you have any of the sanity spare... I could use a tad.

[@dez5]

Love the Man's Clock.

[@alexkara9696]

Me too or should I say two... OK I have three of the same face.

[@lmiller1413]

I find it repulsive. It's offensive. And to think kids have to see it, or others who don't want to see those images have to see it, too. Ladies this is the first red flag. I'm out

[@Jewel544]

Great entertaining video...I like it and great accent!! Keep the videos coming!!

[@alexkara9696]

Thanks Jewels... Unfortunately you've probably lost a few subscribers yourself. Most people discourage me in making videos and demand I get another job... Keep safe!

Funny and helpful! Thanks!

[@alexkara9696]

Thanks 0'7... that's what SWMBO always says... funny peculiar!

[@RichoWoodworking]

Very helpful video. I'm making a clock puzzle box and bought one of these movements from a hobby big box store. Your video shows how to set up so well.

[@alexkara9696]

Glad to be of assistance Richo.

[@lindaholbrook66]

Thanks for the clear instructions and a couple of giggles. I have the same problems with my fat fingers 😂

[@alexkara9696]

Thanks for the "thanks"... No matter how much I diet... those fingers never regain their youthful shape.

[@alexkara9696]

Thanks Manuzah... that's way more than I deserve, but I'll lap it all up at my age.

[@lorimurphy9043]

Thanks for the comical, informative video. I'm having major issues with my hour hands; they're too loose. Is it supposed to snap on or just lay freely.

[@alexkara9696]

HI and thanks for the interest Lori. Sorry for taking so long to reply, but, I've had a few mobility issues precluding me from loging onto my PC and formulating a meaningful reply. Depending on your specific kit, the hour hand usually has a split at the bottom... refer to this picture, u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZbJ4nXZ8LDIWxWC6KJcbOHrGycEd42kNBgX where I have inserted a piece of paper to indicate where the split is on my hands. If the hand is too lose for you, gently (very gently) squeeze the hand with a pair of pliers after ensuring the split parts slip past each other... or gently (very gently) tap with a hammer. The hand should slip on snugly... does not need to be "white knuckle" tight... The minute hand should "key lock" over the stepped spindle mechanism. If there is no split, gently hammer should compress enough or use a good pair of tin snips to put in a split. Good luck and keep safe, Alex.

[@datsunruss]

Hi Alex - I know you posted this a while ago but still relevant. I would just like to say thanks as it has given me inspiration to try and replace a quartz mechanism on a clock that has sentimental value. Just need to work out which Keinzle movement will fit. 👍👍

[@alexkara9696]

Glad it has helped datsunruss... (and for a bit of schlock)! Hopefully, it could inspire you to craft some clocks to create more sentimental value.

[@tonyoliva6886]

I like you mate. It would be an hour to have a pint with you!

[@alexkara9696]

Thanks Tony, but weed need to share a gallon... otherwise you'd go thirsty.

[@keariewashburn4680]

I enjoyed this video 😊🍀🍀

[@alexkara9696]

Thank you Kearie.

[@foodforthought4546]

Very good. BTW, have you thought of making a sequel in which you spend time looking for one of those tiny pieces on the floor? Just a thought. Cheers.

[@alexkara9696]

I'm still crawling around looking for it... Back hurts to stand up and turn the camera on... and I'm sure you don't want to see the north end of me crawling south.

That's a raunchy clock

[@phillipsargeant1936]

Informative and funny, never in a million years would I have guessed what was on the dial of that clock. Were you a friend of Barry Humphries.....

[@alexkara9696]

Unfortunately not a close friend, however, Dame Edna was my pinup girl.

[@jessicamariehernandez3330]

I watched this video several times. I was having problems with it so I asked for help at Walmart on the difference between the parts I have and the ones you have. I showed an elderly Christian man and never once noticed this clock has woman on it in sexy poses 🤣😅😂😁💀

[@alexkara9696]

Sorry J, Hope he wasn't too offended... Unfortunately this world need people like me to make others look better.

[@asifm5153]

How do you tell numbers, guy has a different language going for him on the clock face

[@alexkara9696]

You don't tell the numbers... You just have to... "figure"... it out.

[@roseannpate7332]

heheheheh love the commentary thanks for the info!! 😂

[@alexkara9696]

Thanks Rosaeann... that "heheheheh" makes it all worthwhile.

[@tessarae9127]

[@royston600]

Nice clock😂

[@alexkara9696]

Thanks Roy... It makes the passing of time for this old codger a tad more pleasant. Just an FYI for all... Before the misogynistic label gets tossed around, I can make up a design with all males.

[@daysicarpinteyro3978]

Thank you for this information but I have one question. What tools are best when tightening the screws?

[@alexkara9696]

Depends on how strong your fingers are. You can make it finger tight which will hold, however, for security a small spanner (the right size) or a small shifter spanner should do... just don't go too tight. You can even use a pair of pliers, just be careful to not scratch the clock face.... That's why I recommend a spanner... they usually don't have sharp edges/corners.

[@daysicarpinteyro3978]

@@alexkara9696 thank you so much.

[@trishevans6711]

You forgot the cap after the second hand

[@alexkara9696]

Phew that was 3 years ago... I can't see because of the cobvebs on the clock and there's even more on the video. The cap is only used if you don't want to see your life ticking away by the seconds. The minute hand (only) has the small cap, buuts as in all the $1 shops, the seconds are bald.

[@2HHB]

lol the clock numbers made me laugh out loud, totally wasn't expecting that

[@alexkara9696]

Thanks 2HHB... that's why I normally refer to them as "clock figures" rather than numbers.

Of course this Aussie s clock face is girl-pinups 🙄

That's why analog clocks are better than digital DJ.

[@susanthompson2883]

I don’t think clock face is appropriate for the general public Actually I wonder why u chose this

[@alexkara9696]

Deleted my initial reply as I have better things to do than have a pissing contest with people that seem to go out of their way just to criticise others.

[@TheKnlabcr5]

Seriously, the clock face is demeaning to women 😢 that’s ridiculous. Be a true man and honor women.

[@alexkara9696]

I'll honor you by not telling you to mind your own business short of the profanity I am tempted to normally unleash. If you think your comment will make me (or people with my mindset) will change our minds you are wrong... It just makes us more negative reactive to your attitude. Your derision is demeaning to people that just want to live their lives... May I point out to you that there is a STOP button on your computer... use it as it seems you can't find that button on your mouth!
