I made one of those Word Clocks using an arduino, glass, wood, paint, a couple buttons, and a laser cutter.
I painted a pane of glass white, then black, and created the file for all the letter to say the time as well as happy birthday. Took it to a laser cutter to etch it into the glass.
Made a backing with leds programmed to display correctly the date and time, iterate through colors, modes, etc.
I also made it in Hebrew too. I have the code somewhere if others are interested in making it.
I made a musical automatic Hanukkah Menorah using an Arduino (Seeeduino XIAO SAMD21), MDF, birch veneer, melamine edge banding, a GPS module, tiny speaker, LED strip, and a CNC machine.
