my first Instructable. how to make a amazon echo look like a desktop clock.
the only reason i did this , the hockey puck looking amazon echo is fuctional yep, but basic and if you work in an office in a heavy traffic workplace. things can go missing. echo is small enough to fit in a pocket.

clock face is for looks only (set whatever time on dial ya like) dont matter.
no mods to the amazon echo unit whatso ever.
Supplies
1) echo
2 ) clock . 3 ) Dremel with right tip to grind spot where clock was mounted.
