FILs 60th Nixie Clock

Nixie tube clock with segmented and routed curved case to imitate antique vacuum tube radios that my father in-law collects and repairs. I designed the case.


Backing spacers are turned and hollowed with all thread to secure the backing to the case.


The project has been stained with water-based walnut and HVLP sprayed with two coats of shellac.

There are some minor flaws but the first full project I've been truly proud of to post. Thanks, Woodworkers Source, for the great material!
