BOEING FUSELAGE CLOCK

AIRCRAFT PART: BOEING WINDOW FUSELAGE

Cut from the fuselage of a Boeing 747 “Jumbo Jet” Aircraft (or “Queen of the Skies”), these beautifully reworked window sections go through a lengthy process of cutting, shaping, cleaning, sanding, polishing and then powder-coating to produce a stunning piece of airplane art fit to grace any wall.

Considerations:

– To care for your polished aluminium, we suggest keeping it clean with a dry dust cloth.
– Metals will dull and develop a patina over time, nothing a bit of polish and elbow grease wont fix, for more information, feel free to get in touch.

MADE FROM PLANE

After cutting the fuselage straight form the aircraft we take it to our workshop on a derelict farm in Wiltshire, UK. There we get to work, meticulously cutting, sanding, cleaning and polishing the fuselage section. Hours of work go into the making of each fuselage clock, creating a stunning piece of aviation art.

A SPLASH OF COLOUR

Once the fuselage has been cut and prepped, we start the powder coating process. We love a splash of colour and have used a huge variety of colours over the years, from standard block colours to metallics and our personal favourites, the candy colours.

SAND, POLISH AND SHINE

Once back in the workshop, each clock goes through the rigorous sanding and polishing process. After finishing that we clean it all up, assemble the face and mechanism, package the clock up and send it on its way, to its new home as a beautiful piece of avaiation furniture.
