A LEGO clock! Completely made with LEGO pieces! I have thought about this for a long time, but could not imagine how to begin this daunting task. That is, until I came across this page:
Leo Dorst LEGO Clock page.
Then the problem was he wanted way too many fancy pieces for the mechanisms inside the clock. SO I put that on hold for a while.
|
I put the clock on hold until I came across this page:
Eric Harshbarger's grandfather clock
He made these fancy pieces out of regular LEGO plates. I'm in. I first tried it his way, then opted out for the one you see to the right--less friction. It works very nice.
By the by, this isn't the fancy clock at my mom's place. That's rather a wee bit bigger (though not as big as Eric's)
I just don't know where to put this one. Oh well... |

I visited my mom this Mothers Day and bought her a 'real' clock, so I got this one back. It's been about 15 years since I had built it. |
 |
 |
Here the clock sits on the back of my pickup truck gate. |
 |
 |
This clock has a few special features--It doulbled as a piggy bank. The windows on the back showed how full it was. I also ran out of red 1xn's so I used yellow to finish it. |
| I brought the clock home. I thought it would last more than a day in my abode, but I remembered a few coveted pieces in said time keeping device. I had dropped the clock from 4 feet in this picture--note how it didn't break too much. |
 |
 |
So I dropped it again. This time it decided to break a bit. |
 |
 |
Here are the coveted pieces I remembered building into the clock 15 years ago. I never used the garage door pieces as garage doors before, but now that I'm into LEGO trains, watch out! As well, I also remembered that I had an ultra secret compartment built into the clock--if you turned one of the circular greebles on the top of the clock, a door slid away exposing the compartment. |

Here's the pile of LEGO bricks that used to be a clock. And here's a 4x4 driving over the mountainous terrain! |
