I’ve been working on a analog clock that can easily change the hour during daylight savings time. The clock face can rotate one hour ahead or one hour back. I’m using a flexure mechanism based on a design by AmyMakesStuff. The click is very satisfying.
Unfortunately, it falls back 55 minutes and springs forward 65 minutes. I guess this is why I haven’t seen this design before. I recently talked about the project (among other things) with Zach Dunham on the Bantam Tools Livestream.
Almost done. I’ve been working on a game controller for the 9 year old daughter of a friend of mine. She programmed a donut video game in Scratch. You press the “B” key and the background changes. The “D” the donut flavor changes. “S” for sprinkles. “F” for frosting.
The game is awesome and so is she. Hope she likes it.
It’s been awhile since I’ve turned a lamp at the lake, feels good. This hunk of oak was rough turned about two years ago and left to dry. This week I put the final shape on it and now it’s time for the finish.
Pulled together a quick clock project with Tom Igoe. Tom works on the insides, I work on the outsides. We made so many bad choices along the way, we decided to call it the “What Not To Do” Clock.
