I worked on it off and on for about a month. Much of this was design time on the computer, and refining parts by making some design changes. Now that the design is done, building a second one would...

My Numechron Digital Clock design was inspired by the Pennwood Model 1364 digital clock. Clocks of this type originated in the 1930s, and were built for many years...

Sorry Terry, I used a different name.

While this was designed to be a wall clock, it will potentially be travelling and put on display, so I made a display stand for it.

I just got my clock assembled and running yesterday. The back is not quite complete; it will accommodate the 4 D cells needed to run the clock. For now I am using a power supply. The square bob is...

The front portion of the clock is done.

The second hand shaft rides on bearings front and back, and actually passes through the center of the minute hand shaft without touching it. This...

Bruce, no concerns about wood movement. Others have build clock wheels in this fashion.

Here is the clock face:

One set of gears features a one-way clutch, to allow the minute and hour...

I've designed and built a few clocks, using Baltic birch plywood for the wheels (larger gears). But I've wanted to use hardwood and add some 3D features to the otherwise flat wheels, so that's what...

Congrats Bill! From the first picture of your box, I could see that the bar was set high. If you do use my hinge idea on one of your humidors, post some pics and send me a private message so I'm...

Very cool! Neat how the parts fit together. It looks like the barrel was made with a large number of discs stacked up - is that right?

That's a nice looking box. Also curious exactly how the jigsaw blade works - that's a great technique.

Thanks Shane!

Baileigh says "We like pictures, videos, and cool stuff like that; teach us all what you did and how to build your project", so I put together this video on design and construction of my box:

Matt, that looks awesome! I just applied the top coat finish on mine. I like to use a spray can for the top coat on small projects like this one. I'm working on a video to show some of the design...

You sound like my spouse!

Here's one more photo before I (hopefully!) post the completed project. This one shows the purpose of my box.

If you're referring to the hinge in my box, I would like very much to put together a video on design and construction, but I don't think that I have enough time. Including this box, I have three...

Bill, I've never heard of a machine like your guillotine. Please tell me more.

Yes, finish - I've been thinking about that for my project. Been kicking around a few ideas, but I think I'm settled on what I will be doing.

Thanks. I cut the bottom on the CNC, cut the sides on the bandsaw, and shaped the top on the disc sander. I have one more part yet to make, for what goes inside the box.

Finger grip for the front of the top, just dipped in Envirotex Lite epoxy-like clear coating and set aside to cure.

I have a lot of sanding and finishing yet to do, but construction is pretty much done.
