Here is than, my Lamina Nixie Clock. Shiny and beautiful. Everybody to who I have showed the clock were hypnotized, just sat and stared the running numbers for minutes :)
That is a good reward for me.

Is it possible to get the templates for the woodwork?

I cannot express how impressed I am. Good work, and one of the better of instructibles I've read. Incredible for the first tutorial in that you've made

Gotta say, this clock looks amazing! My grandpa and I are considering working on one in the near future, though considering how beautiful this one is, it'll be a hard act to follow.

You will have lot of fun and the end is going to be beautiful. Even a single Nixie tube is stunning!

If I were you I would change the blue LED to a white LED.It would look a lot better and classy.

Why not build one, so we can compare to see if you're right?
carfur in reply to stringstretcherApr 16, 2012. 3:18 AM
Nixie tubes are VERY expensive in my country.I live in Romania and i can't find a direct importer.As soon as I find a cheap way to get a hold on this sistem I will definitely begin working on one of my own.Of course it wont be as awesome as this one because I don't have a CNC to mill the pieces for it.

Sorry I disagree completely, the blue looks excellent and very classy. Great project, I think I shall give it a try.

I tried with white LED and actually it's a not a bad choice but indeed the blue has more radiation force field effect. The pictures are not really give back the glowing blue light.

I am sure it would worth of the time and effort to play around with different colors and type of LEDs and try different angles and quantities to have more cool effects.

I forgot to mention.AWESOME job !!!

You could also fit RGB leds 'cause it looks like you really know DIY electronics.That way you can select whatever color you like.It would also be cool to hook-up the backlight leds so that they change color when the alarm is ringing.

Beautiful design. Looks pretty complicated for me but I would certainly consider purchasing one as it looks like one of those things you can really pass down from generation to generation.
