The Sprintronic - Clock with Laser Cut Case

Step 10 Conclusion and FAQ

I have found this project to be so easy, quick, and inexpensive that I have actually made two. I plan to make a few more as gifts for family and friends. It makes a great desk or shelf clock.


FAQ:

Q:  What is the one thing that you would do differently?
A:   The wood I used was very inexpensive, I would like to build one
       using a better grade of wood.

Q:   What type of wood did you use?
A:    I used a scrap piece of luan underlay plywood bought at a local
        home improvement store.

Q:  What are the fussy parts?
A:   There are two parts that are a little fussy. Sticking the laminating
       pouch plastic to the back of the lens, and getting the hour/minute
       hands just right.

Q:  Why is it named "Sprintronic"?
A:  The watch that it is emulating is called the "Dashtronic". So keeping
      with the idea of "dash", I chose "sprint".

Q:  Do you have access to a laser cutter and if so how?
A:   I do have access to a laser cutter through membership in the
      Dallas Maker Space. If you are in the Dallas area, come by and visit.
      See www.dallasmakerspace.org for location and meeting times.
