Building my own clock

I have cut out the wood pieces for the case.  Details on my blog  http://chess-for-engineers.blogspot.com/2015/12/clock-progress-wood-cut-for-case.html

If you want to play a game using a real chess board in your home or other place you can have an notebook, this is better:

I'm pretty sure 'having a clock' is not the primary reason for building the clock.

You are correct, but I do not know why the guy is trying to build his own chess clock.

If he only want to play some games and want avoid the expensive prices, I think it is better to use the computer chess clock.

However, if he want some fun while constructing (or even selling it), it is another discussion.

If you want a free and easy-to-use chess clock with all the most common and used features, you can download this android application on your phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=giulio.di.maria.chessclock.google.

Regular updates will be released and suggestions or personal features are accepted and welcomed!

Hope you'll enjoy it!

An hour glass is sufficient and cheap. Spend a little more for an elegant one.

Are you a time traveler from the distant past?  It's 2021 AD, when you can buy a digital chess clock for less than an hour glass.  And, I can't imagine how much gold frankincense and myrrh a blitz chess hour glass would cost you!

Well in Canada a cordless hour glass is pretty cheap these days!
