Yes The clock is only one of many wonderful objects I made that keep the wife gasping and allowing me to spend so much time with Arduino and my machines. It was simply a combination of open source artwork / clipart put together in a couple of hours and then machined into a chunk of red maple.
I still think it's awesome. More evidence to support the "Happy Wife = Happy Life" rule!
PS.
Thanks for the explanations!!
