Nifty Nixie



For lack of anything really terribly interesting to post (beyond a Merry Happy New Year to everyone), I thought I'd share my latest object of grand covetousness. I really really REALLY need one of these Nixie Tube Clocks...

I'd try to build one, but I just know I'd somehow electrocute myself or blow up the house or something.

Anyway, that's all. Pretty action-packed new year so far, eh?
heh...

I want you to get all of the parts and try to build one then get all frustrated, give up, and give all the parts to me so I can build one. Great plan I think.

see there are a lot of people selling kits out there and a lot of different ways you can put them together. if you buy a kit and can solder halfway well (a feat that I was scared off attempting for quite a long time but recently realized isn't actually all that hard) then it shouldn't be all that hard.

This website is fun just to browse!

I really want to build something out of these, I just could likely never figure it out.
