I think it is "time" for a new contest.

This month's contest is for clock cases. If you've built one, time to show it off. I'm widening up the "completed within" window (60 months) because I don't expect there are too many here that mass produce clock cases. PM me if you think that is still too narrow. The only kits permitted are cut-to-fit kits. Time's a wastin!.
It's a long contest, 31 days this month. And the clock is ticking!

Rules:
- Must be created/completed within the last 60 months - here's a reason to sell the old and build the new.
- 80% wood.
- One submission per creator/artist per category (month).
- Each creator can win a contest no more than once every six months.
- Members vote for winners so your submittal 'marketing' post should reflect quality. Limited to 3 photos and 500 words. One post per submittal. Any Q&A regarding a submittal should be handled by separate post or DM, PM, or Start Conversation. I like the separate post because it doesn't clutter the contest thread, maybe preclude votes being biased, and everyone can share How's It Made with the forum.
- In case of a tie, a judge panel will make the selection. Judges decision is final. Judges will remain anonymous.
- Each monthly contest will have two winners, novice and journeyman/veteran/pro. Novice is defined as <3 years woodworking, cumulative. Journeyman is all others. Submitters must indicate if they are novice or journeymen; honor system applies. If you don't indicate as novice or experienced, you will be considered experienced.

The contest is for a wood case. The clockworks are not part of the contest. Of course, a clock has more eye appeal when it has a face and hands. Are you thinking cellphone case?
