Son of the return to the valley of the word clock

A work in progress but at a stable stage.
Mashup of word clock with spirit lamp.
Not shown, the failed attempts with a paper face and failed attempt to make a one piece living hinge face.

So cool! The top reminds me of a TV show. The Time Tunnel. :grinning:

Love the different design of this one. And I prefer the tree tops as the top, which I think adds a bit of calmness to the business of the clock. Just my opinion. :slight_smile:

I like the way you did those vertical slats. Not a finger joint in sight.

Two more versions. Thinner wood face for improced readability (wider angle). And paper face (thick paper sprayed black on the back) for widest angle viewing.

I think all the ingredients are there now.

My ideal config: thick back slats and paper face.

Alternative idea, replace back slats with my traditional spirit lamp led grid.
