After seeing some other great Chronulators on flickr that join the two meter panels into one display, I knew that's where my design would go. I made a simple box out of Red Oak, and stained it dark. The front panel is acrylic with the back spray-painted black (except for a strip in the middle). After painting, I applied aluminum tape behind the black areas to help reflect light back at the meters. I used a second piece of acrylic inside the box to mount everything on. Four white LEDs point straight out at the aluminum tape backed faceplate to light it up. (I found this worked much better than trying to aim the LEDs at the meters.) I added a toggle switch for the lights, and called it a day! I love my new clock!
