This is what I am doing with the empty boxes, and yes I know I stole this idea from someone here, but I think it's a great idea and wanted to run with it. If you have any boxes you think would work for a clock drop me a note and we can work out a trade.

They look great!!!

Nice job John. Placement of movement really makes a difference in the final product. I'll see if I can scrounge some boxes up for you.

How about workin' out a trade for the finished product?

The graphics have to be arranged in such a way that a hole drilled in the center dosen't affect the overall look of it. That is why some boxes work better than others, there are some really nice boxes that if you drilled in the center you would ruin the whole graphic, which is the whole point of me doing these, to show off the nice box art. I wish I could take credit for the idea but I can't, someone else did it first. Thank you all for the nice comments though.

I just noticed that the Buccanero Full Sail box clock didn't show up on the picture, to bad, it is one of the nicer ones. Maybe I'll see if I can post a pic of it seperately.

Where have I seen this before?? Nice work man. That Cohiba box is cool!!

Redneck1 gets the credit for inspiring me, it was his Olivias box clock that made me think to do this.

Ssee if you can get a mi cubana box. you can mount the clock works and use it as a desk top pencil or pen catcher.

What a talented bunch of BOTL here!
Man that is very nice work there Lizzerd (LOL)

I'll look around, but the wife usually gives 'em to a friend that makes purses out of them.

I know that this will be a groaner but I will say it anyway. Looks like you got a lotta time on your hands. They look great I guess it's time to smoke a stogie

Looks awsome! I was thinking about doing with, only making it digital. I have a broken alarm clock that still has a perfectly functioning clock in it. The problem would be making it look good. But with the recent emptying of my Torano Signature box, which is conviently pitch black, I think this may look good.

Nice craftsmanship!

Very cool idea indeed, whoever thought of it.
I might have to build one myself, heheheeee.

I have plenty of empty boxes. Some nice Fuente ones even.

Lizard, they turned out great. But now aren't you stuck with a bunch of clocks hanging around the house with no arms on them? Now the key is to figure out what to turn them into.

No other clocks were sacrificed in the making of these clocks. I don't want the "People for the ethical treatment of clocks" coming after me.
