Cool. First I saw of this thread. I posted about my custom clock for my Home Theater/Game Room on AVS last year. Here's the jist of it: --- Quote ---Preface: I couldn't find a clock for the HT I liked anywhere. I didn't want one I'd hear tic-tocking away, it needed to be visible in the dark but not glaring, and I wanted it to be theater themed in some way. So I gave up and began designing my own: * One sacrificial Craigslist $5 digital LED clock with photo sensor * Scraps of MDF from my shop. * A piece of galvanized flashing cut into the shape of a hinge * alarm magnets to hold the 9V backup * B&W Enamel paint * Walmart $0.97 alphabet stickers * white automotive pinstriping. Total project materials cost...probably around $15 --- End quote --- |

Sorry for bumping such an old thread,but it was such an awesome topic, it was worth revisiting. Since it was recently mentioned in another thread, i figured i'd post a pic of the centipede clock that i made. i made this like 2 years ago and it has been sitting in my basement since we moved...when i saw this link, i figured i'd go look for it and bring it up into the family room and post a pic so, lets see them, i'm sure more of you have made arcade clocks since this thread went inactive |

LOVE the centipede face, did you create that? It's still on my radar to sell arcade clocks, Real Life has kept me from finishing my prototype... |
