MAKE subscriber Doug saw the word clock some time ago and decided he has the technical know how of coming up with his own version, which he succeeded as seen here. The front panel was built using an etched PCB, which translates to not requiring a laser cutter, while a circuit board was constructed to illuminate the proper display sections using LEDs. You’ll need an in-depth knowledge of DIY electronics here, so good luck and all the best in this delectable home project!
