Timballisto | 21 Jun 2005 02:22:09 Clocks...need help with...Well, I'm trying to make a clock. I need a really good motor to make it run. I've looked at all sorts of clocks in which the gears and stuff are preassembled, but the problem is this: The hour hand shaft is a hollow tube that is lower than the minute hand shaft. The minute hand one is inside the hour tube. diagram: minute shaft ---------> | | | | | | hour shaft -------------> | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (the hands are attached at the top) Anyhow, I need a preassembled clock that looks like this... hour shaft ---------> | | | | | | minute shaft ----------> | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | How or where can I get this? I'm trying to build my own customized clock as an alternative, but now I can't find a place with gears! Arg! >:( Help? PS: I'm trying to make the clock from Majora's Mask. Edit: The diagram isn't showing up right. Bah. If you have a question ask me about it. |

Andi | 21 Jun 2005 10:53:09 Re: Clocks...need help with...The clock from Majoras Mask? Isn't it a half circle? How do you want to solve this? |
Timballisto | 21 Jun 2005 14:37:30 Re: Clocks...need help with...A half circle? No. Actually it's a circle, and then a ring around the circle in the middle. The only way I can see to solve this would be to order a customized clock movement or to build one myself. The harder one is of course probably to build it myself. However, I know someone that I could get to help me later maybe. I drew up a diagram for how it would work. I doubt anyone would really understand them if I put it up, but if you want me to just say so. |

Timballisto | 21 Jun 2005 19:51:46 Re: Clocks...need help with...Oh! No, I mean the clock inside the buildings or the one on the clock tower. The half circle one I'm not sure what I'd do if I were making it. |
