    Brilliant! You've solved the problem of having to watch an hourglass, waiting, waiting, waiting for it to empty out. Now, with a little calibration, you can tune that to be a 2 minute timer with an AUDIBLE marker to indicate the time, or a 5 minute timer, or whatever lengths of time you find yourself timing on a recurring basis. Best of all? NO ELECTRICITY!!
    Way to go Jack! You've done it again.
    May your shop be filled with chips and sawdust all year long,
    - Jim “Mr. Measure Twice” Marchetti
    PS - Happy New Year to you!!!

      I always overcook my eggs because I forget the time.. I like them soft -now I can have soft eggs every time!

      I was going to sat the same thing. Also, for people that can't hear, just put this thing in your peripheral vision while you work on whatever, and it will get your attention quite clearly when it falls. This would sell.

    Awesome trick with the wire, never expected that it would have worked as well as it did!

    Ha Ha, Yes! Low Tech, I Love it. Timer with audible notification, no batteries ever. Thanks

    Dear Jack,
    Your bandsaw makes a cool noise like you would hear in a spooky sci-fi movie. Cool build, thanks for sharing.
    Love,

    Sand has been around, wood has been around,Jack has been around.....it's nice to see that they got together one day. Love the concept . Merci beaucoup. Now lets make a larger size...." car crusher ".

    Rather than drilling a hole, I wonder if it would have been easier just to cut a narrow channel in the surface which will be against the plexiglass? That way you could watch the sand running through it too.

    I've used a nail as a drill bit in the past so not a bit surprised your wire worked. I might have to design this for 3d printing as well if that's ok.
    Thanks Jack

    Now with your invention one doesn't even have to push the pendulum!

    U are a genius, I never thought of such a brilliant simple Idea that solves the issue of checking if it is time to flip over. You could have solved the problem of Longitude calculation and win the price without having to invent the crono-meter of harrison! THIS IS AMAZING, did you invent yourself ?

    Jack H - Very good idea and build as usual. That will jolt you out of the daydream or your over focused work spell. But what of the unaware poor little cat or dog's tail laying in the way when that goes "bang!" - so I suggest it needs a little integrated safety fence that the clock tower falls into and that could be tricky to engineer.

      Very small drill bits do not fit in a chuck of a drill so you have to make the diameter larger.

      Battery required. Plus, for something repetitious like a game, this would be better. Siri and others are great for one time use though.
