Back in Time – Make Your Wooden Counter-clockwise Clock

Do not go gentle into that good night,

Old age should burn and rave at close of day,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

With this kit, you can assemble a wooden clock running backwards.

When making this clock, you would learn the ingredients of a clock, and feel the possibility of wood.

You need some 5mm wooden board, and a laser cutter.

As well as a clock, you can get it from an old clock.

If you don't have a laser cutter, or you just want a ready-made one, put hand on Back in Time.

There's some others needed:

• circular tape × 4
• hands × 3
• quide guide × 1
• white rivet × 8
• inner hexgon screw × 8
• inner hexgon spanner × 1

If you can't find a clock module that goes backward, please refer to this website:

Download the ai file, and change it into 2d file, then you can cut it.

It includes 10 parts.

NOTE: AA battery is not included in this kit, please find one before assembling.

Fix the clock to front board with circular tapes.

The hands of clock is quite long for you to DIY its shape.

Cut them through Scissors.

However, please make sure that minute hand is longer than hour hand and shorter than second hand.

Rotate all hands to 12, and give the clock an AA battery to make time flow.

Yes, it flows towards back years.

Add rear board to front board with spacer support and pillar boards. Fix them with inner hexgon screws.

NOTE that do not make the screws too tight.

The angle board can be bended to 90°. Fix them to corners of the body with rivets.

If the time is not that accurate, you can rotate minute hand to regulate, some kind like a grandfather’s clock.
