Jar Clock

Step 5 Put it all together

Next, add your battery and insert the clock and lid into the jar. Job done.

I thought about adding an LED for viewing at night, or frosting the glass a little to make it easier to read.

I think next time I will use thinner numbers, as these ones are pretty thick.

Anyway, enjoy and I hope you liked this Instructable.  Please comment and rate

hey dude!
nice idea of making a clock inside a jar...

well i think you can make it more visible by increasing the diameter of the jar
as the linear distance every hand makes is directly propotional to the diameter of the jar...

do the math
and you can get an adequate clock
readability can be improved by decreasing the size of the numbers

and yeah
not everyone has this clock so take pride in saying that this one is yours...

see ya!

This is so cool...off to make one now! Think I'll add a little something to the end of each hand so I can see better...really neat clock though!

Great idea.  Great Instructable.  And thanks for paying homage to where it is from.
Might I suggest smaller numbers all 'round?  Since it is a decoration piece, use just the hour hand like the first clocks ever made.  So you can see quarter past 1, half past 6 or quarter to 3.
Maybe put a smaller jar, hot glued inside with sand to isolate the hand from the background.

Elephants on acid, how many tabs does that take? I;m sure Billy Connely could do a great gig about that
