    Nixie tubes on steroids

    I've made a couple of nixie clocks from kits in the past but this guy has taken it to a whole new level by actually manufacturing his own tubes. Incredible!



    His website is here if you fancy one of his finished clocks or maybe just a few tubes.

    Superb. $145 sounds quite reasonable for handmade 50mm tubes given the workmanship involved. The balanced numerical font is gorgeous and a nice nod to tube history. Many thanks.

    Great video.

    I thought I'd seen some of the containers elsewhere, lol I have one by the kitchen sink.

    Amazing the level, effort and passion that has went into these, as well of course the aesthetics. I'm another nixie convert and currently have a small nixie clock using NOS russian tubes as well as a nixie watch.

    You can find cheaper (although nowhere near as beautiful as the one in the OP) nixie clocks/ kits through sites such as ETSY or ebay.
