The usual ones are 'back to front' with the minutes at the top and the hours at the bottom jacknastyface2 wrote ... A new pin ball machine?? Only when it goes wrong! Then there are ball bearings everywhere.  | ||

It also doesn't roll over correctly. The 'hours' tray should hold 12 balls. Ball number 13 would then tip it up, but ball number one is fixed in place so only 11 balls can run out, leaving it displaying one o'clock. I'm intrigued to know where he got a 1 rpm Lego motor from! | ||

His latest is a copy of the "Antikethera" clock which was found at the bottom of the Aegean Sea. He does several episodes (he is up to #9, I think). Super machinist and well worth watching. Nice Aussie accent to go with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML4tw_UzqZE Keith. | ||

I have always admired the minimum of effort required by metal workers and Chris, (clickspring) is a master. Also he gives his thoughts and conjectures how Antikethera might have been made 2000 years ago. Nicely photographed. Keith. | ||
