Step 10Finish the Clock
For this step, clamp all of the boards together, then using the template attached to this step, drill pilot holes for the 4 wood screws (only up to the start of the front board, which is why the one behind is glued). If you want you can counter-sink the holes so the screws sit flush.
Now insert the screws into the holes.
The last thing to do is clean up the edges. Take the miter saw and cut the ends an equal distance from the screws on either side as in the template (be very careful at this point as not to poke out a hole on the saw!).
Now just sand any uneven or rough edges (not the front) and you are done!.

Nice job for a pretty original clock, but it looks like a bit too much trouble for me. However one could use it as a basis for something else, like a project with 2 LED's in wood for an external box the drive/power lights of a computer, or a wooden enclosure for a network router, that already has a bunch of LED and you don't need to mess with too much electronics, just need to get the standard LED into part-holes. So thanks for the worklog and warnings what can go wrong and how to do it cleanly :)
