i have two weeks left before christmas break at school my goal is to finish a project in shop class that im making for my mom. we r building grandmother clocks. i have everything made and put together except for weights for the middle. how long do u think it would take to stain the clock, wait for it to dry, and put 3 coats of polyurethene on it. and also i live in a cold area and i get out of school on the 21st and am planning on bringing the clock home if i finish it. would it be ok to put it in my garage (which has no heat) for a few days until christmas eve night when we will bring it out before my mother goes to bed?

one day to stain and let dry. one day for each coat of finish...no need to sand after staining...

Depends on how long you work on it per day but you need about 5 days total . sand/stain - dry 1 day, ....1 day to sand/restain - dry ( sand with fine steel wool ) ......1 day for poly - dry per application . Try to keep at room temp if at all possible when storing . Good luck

You need at least one day to dry the stain
and each coat of varnish.
(You will sand between coats?.
That's in a warm dry environment.)
