Knowledge is Power

Since my fiancee is studying hard for her finals, I decided to spend the evening building my Ice Tube Clock from Ada Fruit Industries.

At first I wanted to take step by step pictures while assembling it, but there’s many steps and they’re all well documented on Limor Fried’s website so I didn’t bother.

Here’s what it looked like after unboxing:

Now what it looked like after unpacking:

And here’s the finished product:

Overall I’m pretty satisfied with it.  I’ve built it while watching Blade and Iron Man, taking a break to eat… so that’s maybe 2h30 to solder it and assemble the case?

As a newbie I found the kit pretty straight forward to assemble.  The final product while being a clock, as promised, feels a bit cheap though.  I’m not sure what I was expecting to be honest.

I’d give it a B+/A-… kind of makes me regret buying it when I see this kit: Bulbdial Clock Kit from Evil Mad Scientist.
