Time zones clock

I'd knew I'd been hoarding those cigar boxes Bill gives me at the tobacco shop for some good reason.

Yesterdays project was a dual-time zone clock.  I'm still trying to decide if I like the 70's retro look or if I'll throw it away and start over with something more "steampunky" looking.

I am really going to have to consider banning you from Ham Community until you show us at least one project that is not amazing. 😇

Two things.

One, what are the buttons for on top? I assume they are + and - for the time?

As for the look, I'm torn. I love the steampunk look a lot, but I think the fact that the bevel is gold colored makes me prefer the more retro look you have there; I think 🤨

Thats the brass hinges that were on the cigar box, Jim.  I basically took the red cigar box and cut it in half on the table saw.  I'll leave it for a while and see how it grows on me.  LOL

I got the urge to do some modifications, Jim.  Added a QSO card holder and a USB charging station.    Going to have some little brass plates made for the "East Coast" time and "Greenwich Time" at the trophy shop.  What you think?

You’re killing me. Gorgeous. One minor mod… any chance of making the cover of the USB chargers either brown or black. I find the white clashes. Otherwise, insane!!! Truly inspiring work.

I preferred black.  Lowes only has white.    But yeah black would be better.   I'll keep a check and see if they get some in.  Maybe its a "supply chain issue" as they like to say nowadays.

Congrats Anthony. A truly lovely piece. I know this, anyone who walks into that room will notice it and compliment you both for the artistry and the workmanship. And because I have not done so yet, I wish you and yours a healthy and peaceful 2023.
