I made the entire clock according to this project. However, there are some differences:

I installed everything on one side of the PCB
I used a different high voltage power supply unit (see supplies for specific model)
the enclosure is made of real wood and it doesn't have a lid
I used a different RTC: DS3231
I added a toggle switch

Supplies

For the full list of supplies, check this link

Power supply: ebay

Step 1: Step1: Gather the Components and Solder Everything in Place

I ordered every component that was listed in the project above and started to solder them onto the PCB.

Step 2: Step 2: Upload Code to the Arduino

I used the code in the linked project for testing, but used this RTC library for the DS3231.

Step 3: Step 3: Enclosure

I ordered a custom made wooden box from a local wood shop, and then painted it.

Step 4: Step 4: Clean Up the Arduino

Finally I desoldered the wires and 2 resistors from the arduino on top and soldered them to the bottom of the PCB.
