I have started work on my new countdown timer.
I plan to have this tombstone standing with a reaper off to the side with his hand holding the top of the stone.
The reaper would then have led eyes and look from side to side occasionally.
Here we go..

Ebay.. It was a christmas countdown sign.. It does a full 365 day countdown.
Its just like this one.. even tho i paid less than this seller has it for.

Way cool to use the electronic sign. Sure beats my manual try to remember to hang a new number every day.

Your timer looks awesome. I remember a thread about this very type of project. Now that I see it, I'll have to make my own.
