Maybe using the arrow ke for one of the hands would have been an ide then using the backspace key and the enter/return key as these asll have arrows on them?

I tried to make this but I didn't work, besides the hour minute and second keys are to big they will run into each other and there to big to tell what time it is

To answer your second  problem, you were supposed to bend up the hands so the keys pass over or under each other like this:

Good idea, but I would have used all 'f' keys so they all match. I like it.

Yeah, I thought of that, too. AFTER I made it. It says in the 'ible that you can use all F's
