Step 14: Almost There, The Top Plate
The clock is almost complete even though there were lots of options for this and that flying through my brain, but step by step gets you there and there have been many turn around and re think this moments.....
From the beginning i wanted this clock to look advanced, alien in nature.... at one point I was planning on making an area 51 type crate and illustrate a burned piece of parchment with and alien being handing the piece to a humanoid figure, who then would live out the time left on the piece and end it with the built in blade when time ran out, the worn parchment was to be covered with alien diagrams and text ....
The instructable competition put a deadline into the picture and I barely finished.....
In this step I needed to create some finishing pieces to complete the look of the top of the piece, the most visible part.
I started with a card board template to test out the look and how the shape would work with the rest of the clock, the templates also allow me to plan the cuts with out wasting the metal plates and I went through about 3 variations before i came up with a good configuration..
