A tip for those of you who want to make this. Mount only the display in the front cavity, and connect it with wires to the board which would sit inside the cube. If you use individual 7 segment displays then drill small holes in line with the pins(parallel connection). If you use a display module(like the one in this video) then drill multiple wholes in a line and enlarge them into a grove through which a ribbon cable would go(serial connection). The one in this video used a pair of 6 pins, 12 pins in total.

It worked out fine but I also had problems with brightness of screen.. and I didn't use a clock like you I now want to go back and make one like this I cut mine out from an old clock and build the box around it... Harder maybe but no soldering... but then again I had to make an access hole for setting the time... I will be remaking one with this method for sure.... Great vids keep up the good work.

OK. Here's my veneer tip. Apply plain wood glue to both the veneer sheet and to the base material, trying to achieve an even thin film and allow them to dry to the touch (not sticky). Now you can position them perfectly. When you have the veneer positioned like you want, place a piece of paper over the the veneer and use a laundry iron to set it permanently. The heat from the iron causes the moisture in the wood to steam up and reactivate the glue.

+I Like To Make Stuff Here is an idea: put a 5 v battery inside the hollow cube or if u don't have a 5v get a different battery and use a 5 v switch that takes 5-9 volts and lowers it to 5v and wire the battery up to the clock(have the battery be Li-Ion so you can recharge it) and strip the wires on a USB Micro female port (the one on the android phone) and connect the negative to the battery and have diodes on all the wires to prevent feed back. Then mount the USB port into the back so you could use a USB male to USB micro female to you can charge the clock off of an apple or android USB charger for convenience and have a Voltage Indicator on the back and have a switch hooked up to it so you turn it on only when you need it. Wha Bam! A battery powered USB wooden cock!(if u want to go MLG next level put 5v solar panels on the Top so u have a portable solar powered USB clock) (and for Super MLG have another USB port so you can charge stuff off of it) The end

+P0WERBUBBLE You would need a better clock kit for that. If you turned off a basic kit like this via a switch, it would not remember what time it was when you turned it on again. Also the charger doesn't need to be an apple or android charger, any USB charger will be 5v because that is the spec for USB. The voltage indicator would be pointless because there is no need to monitor voltage when it will only accept and produce one voltage. It's not exactly sensitive equipment. Charging stuff off of it would work fine except for things like Apple products where you would need a data signal or shorted data wires for it to charge. Rather than overcomplicating this it would probably be a lot better to just work a cheap power pack/portable charger into the box. All the charging circuitry will be done for you, you just need to add the solar.

Hi Bob! Thank you very much for your videos. I'd like to comment on veneer glueing. I know the other way how to do it. Put pretty thick glue layer on your veneer before cutting it to pieces and wait for the glue to dry, just for an hour or so, for it not to be sticky. Than cut your veneer to necessary pieces, put one piece to it's place and press it with hot iron. Veneer beautifully sticks. Repeat it with all other pieces. The advantage of this method is that you can precisely put veneer in it's place and avoid all unglued places.

+John Arne Nergård This is matter of time zone. If you live in America you learn to use an 12hour clock. So you get used to 1pm or 1am. in this case the PM and AM makes all the difference. I leanbred ot use an 24 hour clock. So i got taught those numbers 1 to 24. 00:00 t 06:00 is night, 06:00 to 12 is morning and so on. They get tought that am is morning or night, pm is afternoon or evening. Dependin on when it's used. The way i got taught 24 hour clock is simply adding 12 to the number. for axample 18:00 = 6 o clock. 6 + 12= 18. Thus 18:00. we als don't sat six thirty. we say half seven. So again it's how you learned it and what you preffer to use.

Using a flush trim router bit can help get a good edge, if your careful at the end grain, and get a good bond on the edges helps, as does trimming close to the edge with a knife first. Definitely agree with you leaving the face till last to help hide the imperfections. Would like to try this as a project! :-) Thanks for sharing! !

One option you can do that may make for an interesting effect is cut some cross grain veneer and use that for at least the area with the clock display. For instance some woods like oak have thousands of open tubules if you look at a thin end grain sample of the wood. You can easily see this by cutting off a thin (about 1/8" piece) and looking through it at a light source.

Cool concept! You'll get about 7 different opinions on what glue to use for veneer. I don't think it makes much difference on something this size. Titebond makes a "cold press" glue that is designed for it. It's really runny. If you put the glue on the box rather than the veneer it may be easier as the glue makes the veneer curl up.

TO TRANSLATE. scan the document. then use a translator app. windows has some online. just use cut and paste to select specific sections of text. Your video format is excellent! great instructions, fast, informative, good resolution camera. Thank you.

Nice idea :D Next level would be to make a server room in the middle of your home with open wiring and no insolation, then you can hang all sorts of smart appliances with lights right on the plywood so it shows through on the other side. And with no hassle connecting wifi or power neatly.. maybe some sort of touch screen works too. Might try it myself someday

Got one of these for $5 at a novelty store. Looks like a brick of wood (smooth and awesome) with a super bright display time & temperature. It's my new favorite stupid little gadget. I was excited as a caveman who just discovered fire.

Just found your page great stuff. I saw another woodworker who chamfered the edge of the veneer to fix the gaps.

For Veneering, sand the back of it first. Use contact adhesive spray, spray both sides, leave for a minute to fume a little then massage/press it on with a rubber roller. Trim off the excess with a fine file with masking tape on the end, move in a cutting motion cutting with the thin edge. Sand level with 180 grit towards the face of the box sides.

Hey man great video !!! I have donne some venier before and the best way to do its use contact adhesive its super fast you can do the hole thing in one shot, and probably will give you a better finish. Thanks for the video man !!!!!

Lightly wood glue both surfaces and let dry so it isn't sticky. Use an old clothing iron with a brown grocery bag in between the veneer and the iron. Turn the iron on its hottest setting and place the two glued surfaces together and heat them with the iron moving it around and pressing moderately. It makes dry time way less and isnt as messy

Poplar Veneer would allow the light to pass through better, you can also thin it slightly over the display by sanding it down a bit.

Drill evenly spaced holes all the way across the display area in the veneer with a pin or needle. Only the holes that have light behind them (from the number) will light up and display the time. Might look better.

Hi Bob, Great channel you got there! I have definitely some advice for veneer. Next time you just need some (white) wood glue. Brush or roll both sides with glue (so veneer and the piece of wood you like to veneer) and let it dry for around 15-20 minutes. In the meantime, heat up an iron (without steam!). If both pieces are dried, just simply at both pieces together and heat it with the iron, this reactivates the glue. The trick here is to push pretty firm (but not to hard!) and not to burn the wood. Saw the overhang of you off like you normally do. That's it, what can I say, Bob's your uncle! :-)

Looks pretty awesome. The only thing I would have done differently is put the clock a bit deeper and then fit a plexiglass or some other clear piece on top of it. I'm not sure how strong the veneer is, but it looks like there are a lot of areas where nothing is supporting it over the clock.
