Step 4The Disc
2: Bend it in half and put tape around it. This makes it stronger but it needed to be shortened anyway. If you hour pointer is still too long you can cut a part off.
3: Mount it to the motor. Also, make things on the sides that can hold the motor in place(Don't glue the motor to the clay, because later you may want to replace the battery) I used metal wires, they are inserted in a hole in the clay. Actually I used too big wire, you should use a thinner, more bendable type. This may work better with thin metal strips, if you have those.
4: Bended inside.
5: Make this disc out of thin wood. There should be a hole in the middle that fits around the white thing on the motor. Also cut a quarter out, till the motor part, you can best leave that covered.
6: Take two nails and smash them into the wood near the hole, so that on the other side the hour pointer fit between them. You can best make the heads as flat as possible, to make the surface flat. You can vile them flatter with a Dremel, and also smash them in some deeper by holding something sharp between the nail head and the hammer.
7: So you have this.
8: Cut the nails off so they dont touch the motor,but leave them as long as possible.
9: Put the disc on the cat feeder, with the nails around the hour pointer.
