The clock doesn't work and the pendulum is missing, but I wanted it primarily as a decor piece. I also plan to paint mine white with chalk paint, but my question is, did you do any sanding at all, and do you recommend priming the clock first?Tracinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4715785490417606870.post-14406971495285637132020-08-10T21:35:01.414-05:002020-08-10T21:35:01.414-05:00Thank you!
