Big Horn Sheep From Clock Parts
This all started when I was digging through a bag of accumulated clock parts the other day in search of a small screw. I happened on a couple of small clock frames, and suddenly I was thinking, "Big Horn Sheep!"
I've accumulated a rather large bag of old clock parts over the years from clock mechanisms that were not repairable, and I always knew this bag would come in handy some day. But little did I know that from this bag would come a big horn sheep.....Wednesday, August 21, 2013
Lasered Dragonfly and Flower Clock (with epic detail)
Using the laser to get a LOT of artistic detail. Made it at techshop!
First, I decided I wanted to make a fancy clock, after tossing around a few ideas I decided on this image. It is a Japanese woodblock print by Hokusai. I happened to already have this black and white outline of it ^_^ There are a variety of colored versions of this, depending on who was printing it at the time I guess. This colored one I include here was my favorite I found, and I based my own coloring on it.Tuesday, August 13, 2013
The amazing Plasma Binary Clock, Steampunk style.
A couple of month ago Mr. Longwinters send me some plasma (NEON) bulbs wit European E-27 windings.Mr Junophor offered me a big peace of mahagony wood. So I had the basic material for a steampunked binary clock.
The clock is driven by a CControl micro controller and some solid state relais.
A small Basic program reads the internal clock (controlled by a DCF signal), converts the values to binary format and sets the bulbs.
A 5V relay is used to simulate the ticking of a clock.
Here are the materials and the parts for mounting the NEON bulbs to the clock.Friday, June 28, 2013
How to Bring a 1970s AM/FM Flip Clock Back to Life
Would it be cool to find an old flip clock to steampunk?
Good News and Bad News:
Good News: My chance came a few days ago and I bought a 70s Lloyds Solid State clock in an antiques flea market for a whopping $5.00 …could not pass it up.
Here comes the bad news - we brought it home and ended up falling in love with the clock radio so steampunking the item was out of the question and restoration became the priority.
The clock radio had a few issues:
1. Missing two knobs (possibly a future instructable):
a. Small timer knob on top of the case. I can live without it because
I can move the nub with my fingers and I won't need that option for
where it is going.
b. Knob for setting the time on the side of the case. I can live without
this one too for awhile because I can set the time without it.
2. Small scratches in the 100% pure fake plastic wood grain case
3. But most importantly a broken Flip Clock (that is what I will be working on)
The radio and alarm works.
For the mechanics, this Instructable will read like a diary. I feel that I can write a how-to on just the steps that I took to solve the clock issue and ignore the discovery phase or I can tell the painful truths with all of my embarrassing hits and misses as I work my way to a final solution or call me long winded.
Enjoy!
