Handless clock.

Hi all, this is my first Instructable, the first thing I've to say is ....

sorry about my English , I'm from Spain and i speak a little but, I'm not an englishman.

with a old bedroom clock, some cardboard recycled from a cereal box, an few tools iv'e made this "curious" clock

Step 1 Gather materials

Simple and cheap:

List of materials:

- A little clock
- some cardboard ( from a cereal box better, the one I've used is too thick)
- a ruler
- x-acto and cutter
- heavy paper, one picture... anything you want to the front of the clock
- superglue
- adhesive paper
- a template counterclockwise for hours , mins, and secs.( The mine is attached)

Please put the PDF version of the template. BTW, you have good English!

[tH0RiN]

Pdf file attached.

Thanks!

Can you save the face you did for the clock in a diffrent file format? Cause I cant open a eps file.

[account3r2]

Yeah, please save in like bmp or pdf. i cannot open it either.

[brunoip]

what about using pdf format? (porque no lo pusiste en pdf, es mejor)

[tH0RiN]

For rescaling pursposes, i think than the EPS is more estandard to edit in all platforms, if you want a PDF file I'll attach it easily. ( resumiendo, que el EPS me parece mas comun para editarlo en todas las plataformas, si necesitas un PDF lo pongo sin problema)

[must invent]

You can open an EPS file on Illustrator.

[Kiteman]

PDFs are more universal, and can be scaled on a photocopier if required.

[arashiodori]

I thought a more universal format would be .svg

[Lance Mt.]

WELL I THOUGHT THE UNIVERSAL FORMAT WOULD BE... It doesn't mater too much, someone convert, thats whats the communities for! Anyways... Nice ible. Love it! -Nice man... Nice, Chris

I agree. I cant download the file...but the instructable looks awesome.

Made this with a $2 IKEA clock, and it now hangs in our planetarium office. Thanks for the great instructable!

Nice work, tH0RiN! I might try something like this at some point. Keep up the great work!

[jstelzer]

This definitely reminds me of my favorite watch.

Great job! your English is good enough to get the point across. I am into weird clocks and just built a Nixie clock. I am thinking of making a small one of these and making it look like an aircraft's instrument panel.

[Lance Mt.]

Whats with the dp?

I never thought about making this type of clock in watch form, but i do have a wristwatch made by Nixon called The Murf. http://www.nixonnow.com/watches/mens/the-murf-A074_401.html. Great idea, i think i may try to make this but in a square version like my watch.

[blugyblug]

Wow this is awesome and creative =D and your english is pretty good.

[LemonLily]

I really want to make one, but I'm never close to electronics, so I don't know how to make it. I don't see the second hand and the minute hand?

[LemonLily]

Thanks for the great idea. I wasn't reading too properly but I'm going to ask, why do you need the template things?

[ReCreate]

Oh wow this is really ingenius

[sonaps]

Don't worry about your skills with the English language, there are just a few commas out of place on occasion by what I can tell, and that's better than hte majority of people I speak to where I live in America. Also, brilliantly thorough job.

[LemonLily]

How does it work? Does the disk spin, showing the number and time?

[tH0RiN]

yes , it's it. the disk spins instead the hands.

[kaze805]

I like it!

[lowercase]

Cool! Yours looks like some sort of a nuclear era device. I like it. fav.

[rimar2000]

Good idea.

[lemonie]

I used something similar - but this is much more accurate. Nice job!
