I wanted a side project that wasn’t focused on income but rather scratching my creative itch. I am hoping to start selling more clocks though. So far I’ve sold one.
I’ve recently moved and now have room to produce at home rather than community maker space. So I’ve bought a decent cnc. I’m now enjoying how to redesign for manufacturability given my new tooling.
I hope to post a show HN soon.
Side benefit, I get to make cool projects with my kids using the new tools too. We made a cool present for all the cousins this year.
Wow these look great! It just looks so...different from what I'm used to? Personally the wood is a bit old school, but with maybe some more modern/sleeker materials, I could definitely see myself putting up a large on of these in my place. Kudos!
Thanks for the compliment! There is a Swiss company that makes a fancy word lock that is glass and metal slick. Very apple-esque. But that’s not my personal style so I set out to make one that I would want.
Personally I like the challenge of figuring out the manufacturing process.
Thanks! I always wanted one so after years of saying “I could do that” I finally got around to doing it. Making the leap to finally doing it was really quite rewarding even if I never sold one.
