Designing the Enclosure
3D Model from Sketchup
We recruited master woodworker Marc Gaertner to design the enclosure for our device. The challenge was providing exact specs from 300 miles away. In order to communicate our vision, we used Google Sketchup to model the clock as we envisioned it looking. Every component was modeled to exact dimensions, every drill hole and cutout needed to be precise to fit. This let us convert the model to 2D perspectives with measurement lines, which could be followed as plans for the construction.
