Thats a project by @chrisys :slight_smile: - if i see right.
Its an awesome one and I admit it also slipped by me.
Chris you should really update the post about material cost and time you spent for this outstanding piece - wiring up those Nixie Tubes makes me dizzy by looking at it already. Must have been painful - but looking awesome :smiley:

Thanks for the comments both! I’ve had a few people now ask if we are selling these, the answer is unfortunately no since it’s such a time consuming thing to build. It’s difficult to put numbers to it but the materials certainly aren’t expensive; probably a couple hundred pounds at the absolute most, it’s more the time and tools required to make it. I really have no idea of the time either at this point since it’s been a couple years and I was doing it on and off over the course of a year.

You’ll be pleased to know it still holds pride of place in my office! Could do with a polish, though :slight_smile:

P.S. welcome to the community @jachapmantn - I hope you stick around!

Yes, I would be very interested in purchasing a completed one, or purchase all of the components as a kit, and then assemble.
Very nice.
