There's one resource we just can't get enough of: Time. In this issue of Make: , we celebrate that most fascinating and finite resource. First, build a miniature neomatrix word clock that colorfully spells out the time. Next, waste less time in the shop with a healthy helping of time-saving shop tips. Then, take a metaphorical trip to the past and dive into the history and theory behind modern mechanical clocks.

Plus, 19 projects to make, including:

8 more crazy clocks to build

3D print an old-school bellows-style camera

Program a wall-mounted display to track your social media stats

Craft a 2-in-1 leather carrier for beer and wine for your next picnic

Build a stylish motion-reactive LED table-top display

and more
