That's a great idea and build Jack!

[@MrMeasureTwice]

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!!!

Gotta love the free gift of gravity!

[@veronica5896]

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

[@threeque]

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.

[@stxrynn]

Your bandsaw sounds like a ufo movie from the 50's! I really like the project, too! Merry New Year!

[@AlexanderDyer]

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

[@BigWingUK]

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.

[@5656eric]

Are you ok Jack ... We miss you ...

[@CDeanhartman]

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

[@ManCrafting]

Clever Design Jack. Good chance I’d here that timer go off. I often miss the digital timers I use frequently.

[@CoMan-oo3ym]

Great vid once again. Although I probably won't make the timer myself, watching as you make it perfectly is just so cool ,calming and satisfying.Happy New Years and hope you had a Merry Christmas also.

[@DoitselfInfo]

Very original design. You need to add a bell to wake me up more reliably. Thanks for the idea.

[@tannerbeverley26]

Victor V. Do it yourself 2 and 1/2 minute naps right? Haha

[@ainajoan1]

Te felicito,original,y facil de hacer,me gusta mucho, aprovecho para desearte un feliz 2018 a ti y a tu familia

[@danieltheteacher]

This is an engine. Does it work with water? Excellent video! Milkovic invented a pendulum powered water pump. LOL! Now with your invention one doesn't even have to push the pendulum!

[@lutzweb]

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 ?

[@ph1gm3nt]

The strangest thing I’ve seen. Yet I like it! It’s nice to see something I’ve not seen before. A Happy New Year to you.

[@mc4kvb]

Really a neat project. It’s a novel idea that is and would be very useful. Thanks for sharing Jack. Great job!!

[@Don.Challenger]

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.

[@norlure]

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 ".

[@corinemuller507]

Of the end of France ( creutzwald ) where I you written, my wishes for new year of 2018 hoping that English is correct That these few affectionate words Present you my best wishes Best wishes sent to heavens So that every you are happy Moins RÉPONDRE

[@bfattal]

Jack, everything ok? it's been 5months since your last vid. Hope you're well.

[@davemarchetti4255]

So what happened to Jack? I can't find out anything about what he is currently doing. I hope all is well.

[@bashkirtsevich]

Timer with ghost :)

[@ioannisalexopoulos8748]

Very nice, Mr Houweling! Another inspiring creation! Thank you for sharing it!

[@zachwolfrom4522]

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

[@jimkodysz5404]

What a great idea Jack! Happy New Year! 🎊🎉

[@1Celltech]

Jack where are you?

[@manla8397]

You may make one that it can climb down stairs.

[@Jacka440]

I like it.

[@07780]

Genius, I you solved the law off physics 👍🏻💯💫

[@LukePettit3dArtist]

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

[@Jacka440]

Yes you can use my design, let me know how it turns out.

[@9262XYZ]

But how do you know how much sand to put in? It must be a tedious process of trial and error.

[@alejandroerbele7148]

Muy ingenioso.! Excelente como todos sus trabajos

[@ISTOmaker]

impresive, well done sir.

[@willtricks9432]

An example of original thought, I like this a lot. Cheers

[@almagill]

Well, the Mrs just said "Oh, I like that.." so I guess I'm making a timer soon :) Happy New Year Jack and all the best for 2018

[@KSFWG]

That'd be good for a 2-1/2" minute egg.... ;)

[@TheWoodYogi]

Great fun Jack :) Happy New Year ॐ

[@Jacka440]

Happy New Year

[@20alphabet]

Brilliant! Happy New Year!

[@johnhunter1262]

Ingenious. Have a great New Year. Cheers John

[@opasworkshop8373]

Great job Jack that's a very novel idea! Happy New Year to you and yours!

[@jbb5470]

Very cleaver Jack! Thanks for sharing

[@PeranMe]

That's such a cool twist to an existing idea! Thanks for sharing this!

[@yannkitson116]

Great thinking! Happy New Year Jack :)

[@vido1159]

This is genius

[@dzdicorartandcraftideas4332]

Liiike

[@DougMellors]

I love it nice work!

[@MRrwmac]

Nice work Jack! I like how it falls to notify when the time is elapsed. All my best to you and your loved ones in the new year of 2018!

[@Jacka440]

Thanks, I will set it 2.5 minutes before midnight tonight.

[@tomdenny8507]

Very clever! Have a Happy New Year, Jack.

[@tasskumara]

you are inspiring the world, great idea.

[@beauxtx1959]

You're a real genius, Jack! Happy New Year and God bless you and your family.

[@Jacka440]

Happy New Year to you.

[@Zenlot]

Why no more videos? :( Miss your videos

[@MarkMcCluney]

Great job as always Jack. Happy New Year!

[@Authentique0]

Cool stuff !

[@martinwolf5957]

Hallo Jack It works pretty good 👍👍👍

[@falamble]

simple and elegant. brava!

[@kortt]

Cool idea, Happy New Year!

[@afsartsandcrafts8973]

Hi I have question please can you tell me which store you bought a jig cutting circles I saw your video you used that jig if you can just tell me I want to buy?

[@Jacka440]

I used a Forstner bit, they are available at most hardware stores.

[@afsartsandcrafts8973]

Thanks

[@mehmethanaydn3113]

Muhteşem teşekkürler

[@1tombensky]

Always enjoy you videos. Thanks. Happy New Year!

[@Jacka440]

Thanks, Happy New Year.

[@1Celltech]

Time for something new.

[@charlesreicks648]

Fun Happy New Year.

[@BrassLock]

Perfect timing for New Year !

[@alfredneumann4692]

Happy new year! The thing with the wire i didn't undestand. Cheerio from Germany.

[@Jacka440]

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

[@heriberthuber54]

Thanks for sharing this nice idea with us!

[@Jacka440]

Thanks for watching.

[@max70super70dmax]

the time ?20 10 15?

[@paulwaelder5201]

Like the design

[@chantalzoe2935]

bonjour tres bon tuto bonne annee

[@LudwigSpiegel]

Amazing!

[@mohammedalkaldy5319]

Are you good ?

[@matt9852]

"OK Google, set timer for two and a half minutes"

[@wjphillip]

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

[@jodde73]

Thought it would flip up and stand on the other short end.

[@Jacka440]

That would be nice, lol.

[@donjohnson24]

. . . . and would be Perpetual Motion!!!!

[@Josef_R]

Jack Houweling Sounds like your next challenge.

[@vigneshmuthukumar8001]

Why no new videos?

[@Jacka440]

My wife is ill

[@MusicalBox]

Sad to hear your wife is sick. I hope she feels better soon.

[@davemarchetti4255]

Jack Houweling - I'm very sorry to hear that Jack. Best wishes for all. Keep in mind that we all miss you here. Thanks for everything you do and for all the inspiration.

[@1990sagar1]

Use it for what?!

[@Jacka440]

Pushups.
