Great looking project, why are grand kids so much better than our kids were, and great grandkids are always
perfect, unless it is time for their parents to change their diapers? Thank you for sharing.

LOL… My kids might just need a bigger hour glass. Nice Project.

Itwould be great if they had to sit and watch the sand pour.

Great job.

This is a cool project, good job! All the legs match, which I can’t do if my life depended on it. As for your grandson doing no wrong, you might want to check with his parents. I know when I was growing up, there wasn’t a sand clock big enough for the time outs I would have received. But then again, my parents didn’t give me time outs, they were “old school”. Still hurts to sit down.

Great project Brian and Happy Holiday

Brian,
Great Idea, and a Great Project…............Well done! Since the sand runs for 6 min, you must have used an orifice, what size is it?

Thanks for sharing

-- Chuck Emery, Michigan,

Thanks for all the kind words..it was a fun project to do.

Don’t look too close….. The legs are close, but they don’t all match.

In answer to the question..yes there is an orifice. I used a 5/32 drill bit, but then tried and bevel to wood to that orifice. Got a little carried away and ended up with a hole of just under 1/4 inch. Too big…...smaller hole would allow the sand to run a bit longer…..for those really bad kids.. LOL

Thats a real cool idea Brian & a very nice make to match, the walnut is a perfect timber for this type of project, nice & strong.
Hey brian, Hope you & yours have a happy festive season
