George Nelson clock hands?
I worked on a clock hack over the weekend.
Made a few hour hands from an original.
I'll order a slightly heavier gauge sheet metal from McMasterCarr this morning.
But they came out pretty nice. Could be better.
My three original hour hands are well aged.
Curious what the original enamel was. Satin or semi?
(my guess is a satin/matt)

I really like this one for the minute hand in orange.
(easier to cut.. ; ) )

Any idea what the finish should be?

I intended to just give away the extras if anyone needed them but
it is best to drill the needed stem size before enameling : (
My home drill index is too limiting to get a proper fix but i'll bring home
a larger set from work.
