First Clock Build

[Jeff Grant]

I have always been a fan of the incredible craftsmanship and technical abilities of nixie clock makers.  

Here is my first attempt at putting a clock together.  I used the Kosbo.com clock for its slim design. I tried to keep the case simple to show off the beauty of the tubes but didn't want to do a rectangular box but I did want to cover up the circuitry.  I used a 2 inch brass tube with milled holes for the tubes.  I like how the curvature of the holes reveals the circuit board and the connectors just enough to give a hint of the guts of the system. I mounted the brass tube on a red oak platform (for now).  I am going to make some brass legs/feet and may plug the ends of the tube at some point.

Thanks,

Nicely done Jeff! That looks really professional. Did you consider two smaller brass tubes under the main body for feet? Just a thought...

Cheers.

Nick

Great looking design! 

Very elegant and modern looking. My two favourite materials - Brass and Wood.
