Just completed my second project, a clock for a birthday so thought I’d share it with you.
The initial idea was to drive the ring very slowly with a motor, but the one I got was too loud and I ended up liking the tactile interaction with the piece to turn it manually.
@asalamon WOW This has made my list of favorite things made with a GF! Can’t wait to see what else you make.
I just spent the last few hours starting my first kinetic sculpture. I’ve always worked from the artistic side, but never the mechanical side. I’ve just limping along trying to figure out bearings, gears and how to get it all to work. If you’d ever like to selling your stand/gear plan, I’d be very interested. (No pressure though.) Great stuff!
Very nice. Came out great I kind of want to put the numbers on the outer ring so I can adjust time to suit me at the moment (“Oh, look, I’m not late, I’ve still got time to get to that meeting” )
