This cute clock is in excellent condition (looks-wise) and works perfectly (time-keeping-wise). The fact that it says "Singapore" on it makes it special--sometimes we forget how short our nation's history is. It's genuinely difficult to find older Singaporean collectables.

Twelve numbers in a wall a clock-hand. Simple but effective.

The clock hung in the kitchen of my wife's parents for many years.

Almost 9" in diameter. I came across this in a Dallas "mantiques" store and had to have it. Now it sits on my shop wall. (Please note: That's not my shop wall. You don't want to see my shop wall.)

Yay! My laser cut plastic from Ponoko arrived and like the best ikea flatpack it assembled together and all the parts actually fit!

It's six rectangles with slots in the top and bottom and ridges on the side, front and back walls. It doesn't hold itself together very well if you aren't careful, though a bit of glue would soon fix that. For now I'm leaving it as it is.

The main control PCB goes on the outside back, where you can easily access the buttons to change the time. Power supply is inside on one side wall, and the two nixie driver boards themselves are on the bottom. Amazingly, my laser cut holes line up with the holes in the PCBs and I am able to screw everything into place! Hurrah!

This is my first attempt at making a wooden clock. This clock is known as a Toucan Clock because of the drive levers at the top that look like a toucan’s beak. The clock is driven by an electromagnet in the base that swings the pendulum which then drives the toucan beak back and forth. This action then drives the various gears turning the hands. My first model was made from birch plywood with walnut accents. In front are four of the gears that I have made for my next clock. They are made from a combination of oak, walnut, cherry, maple, and poplar.

"Unless I'm wrong

I but obey

The urge of a song:

I'm--bound--away!

And I may return

If dissatisfied

With what I learn

From having died."

~Robert Frost

AWAY!

And

That which has been away now longs to be alive once again...

Photographed is the dial, hands, and movement to an early 18th Century Chippendale 'Grandmother Tall Case Clock'. By providence the clock has made it's way to me. One can see the accumulated dust on the movement before I disassemble and clean the movement. I believe the last time the clock functioned was the 1950's.

This is what the inside of the Panaplex clock looks like. The 180V power supply is on the lower right of the circuit board. The microcontroller timekeeping circuit is located underneath the leftmost digit.

The clock uses a regular 32KHz watch crystal to keep the time, but I left room for a DS3231 timekeeping chip. It supports a battery backup, and you can see the place where it would go on the board right underneath the hour digits.

Panaplex displays must be multiplexed to prevent damage. They are slightly more finicky than Nixie tubes, but the driving circuit is quite similar.

Went to Wookey Hole this weekend I was hoping to get some shots inside the caves but sadly no flash was allowed due to it having rare bats. I could slap myself as I was toying with taking my monopod but I changed my mind last minute I did try to improvise with the caves surroundings but sadly nothing was worth keeping so this weeks submission is this vintage clocking in machine that was on show at Wookey Hole.

This is the same model clock many small towns have, but I liked being able to get a picture with nothing in the background except sky.
