I finished part of mine -- the rest should be done this weekend. Hopefully.

 

I'll give out the url to the photoblog I've been keeping when I'm closer to the end.

 

It never ends.

Alright, here is my first entry.

 

12oz Mouse has gotten me obsessed with 2:22. I hate the number 2:22, but I love seeing the clock turn to 2:23. After seeing the show so many times, I still don't understand exactly what time is supposed to mean in Fitz's universe, but 222-223 has taken on a certain role in my life.

 

So, this was an idea I've had for a while. I'm not a terribly artistic person, but I wanted to make something that I wouldn't be embarrased to put on the wall. I hadn't used a paint brush since grade school, and I'd never soldered electronics or routed wood before. But, here's what I made:

 

This is an image of me getting the LEDs to finally fire after a lot of swearing and burning my fingers. There are 4 UV LEDs that light up the surface of the clock. The two other yellow LEDs I just put on there and tucked away behind the clock to get to the correct resistance for 9v (haha).

Here is an image of the clock with the LEDs but before any black paint was applied.

A picture after painting the clock to try to match the clock from 12oz. I did as best I could to make it look like a crayon.

Then I put a little spin on the design.. I painted digital looking "2:22"s all over the white surface of the clock in red phosphorescent paint. I also painted the hands with yellow phosphorescent paint.

And at night when you hit the orange switch I wired up on the bottom (after frying the LED inside... :smileysad:)... you get this!

Sooooo that's my first entry. But, as you know, it's never over. And I've already started working on the next one.

Duzi said about 2 weeks after he announced what the final prize is. So, I would imagine sometime in August or early September?

 

Anyways, just took full advantage of the Ryobi 50% tools rebate. If only I knew how to paint, I could probably make something cool.

I'm still battling moving costs ATM...
But yes, soon.
I would suggest to those entering to use this time to take full advantage of the time to make second and third entries.
Or first entries.

Also, imma she.

Heh, oops :smileysurprised:

 

Got the electrical part of my second entry working. I'm just afraid to **beast** up my pride and paint. I'm currently moving apartments now, so the extra time is fine by me!

Finally moved into my new place.

 

Getting some beers in me and working on my second entry. This one is a little bit more involved, but not as much as my final one will be.

 

Pics to come.

I made a cover of Booger Haze. I hope you like it. There's a bit of distortion in the beginning though.
