Chronulator in Poplar and Walnut, Built by Kraig

The Chronulator is a clock that uses old-school analog, mechanical meters to show the time. I sell it as a kit or assembled. The kit is great if you want to learn how to solder electronics, or you want to give a unique gift to a technology geek.

Easy to Build

Many people with no previous soldering experience have built their own Chronulators. All you need is about $10 US in common tools, and a spare hour on a weekend. Have a look at the instructions to see how easy it is to build.

The complete kit is $49 US. Sadly, the Chronulator 2.0 is SOLD OUT as I design the 3.0 version. Please e-mail info@sharebrained.com or follow sharebrained on Twitter for news on the Chronulator 3.0!

Customizing

Decorate your Chronulator to suit your taste – steampunk, atomic-age, music studio, automotive – whatever you like. Most people finish their by attaching it to an attractive picture frame. But some particularly creative and crafty people have gone well beyond. Check out this amazing work!
