The Tovar Clocks - Ice & E-Clock

The Ice Clock is almost invisible, made of clear acrylic, with brass dial markers, hands and weight cans.

The e-clock is really sweet, made of lacewood and birch, with walnut hands, an ash pendulum and maple weight cans.

The Ice Clock hangs in my breakfast room. When the sun shines in, the whole clock becomes an assortment of prisms, showering the room with rainbows.

Even the arbors and lantern pins are made of clear acrylic rod on this clock, and the pendulum is cast acrylic. Some have said otherwise, but I thought working with the plastic was very difficult.

I’ll not do this again - I’m sticking to wood from now on! the Ice Clock and the e-clock

I built these two clocks at the same time, based on Marc Tovar’s MLT-5.
