Well lets put it this way, ive always had this thing about traveling through time, and having a time machine. So i set about making one, i decided that instead of being a vessel to travel in, i would rather have something portable.
Many hours thinking i came to a conclusion. If im going to be traveling through time, the actual time machine would have to be timeless (not out of place in the past, present day, or the future)
So eventually i decided to make something that resembled a time piece, mixed with an old compass, and various other inspirations, some from various steam punk items.
However i did not want to make something that was steam punk, as i personally find alot of steam punk to be a bit over comic like, and a bit to fantastical.
So, heres how i did it.
Materials consist of -
Alot of scrap and junk
corrugated cardboard
Mount card
PVA glue
Super glue
Black paint
Spray paint
Leather
Wood
Some thicker mount card
A few Special oddments - for me this was the lenses.

Signing UpStep 1: Building a base
Ok, now the base of my time machine was modeled around two ring type peices of metal, and as with the rest of the -ible, you kinda have to work things out for yourself too!
Firstly, i set about cutting out some ring shaped pieces of card, As you can see from the pics below.
Obviously, you could just create this thing from scratch using cardboard. But i think a good scavinge can always turn a good result - The metal sections in the first picture are off an old repromaster! bout 20,000 pounds worth of kit in there day ( we recently scraped ours)
I basically used these as a shape to trace onto the card.
Cut as many as you like to give it a good depth that your happy with.
I recommend corrugated card as it is easily to get a thick depth, its easy to cut, and great for gluing in later steps.

What if there's more than one person? Would each one have to have their own watch?
Where did you learn all of this anyway?
Then again...if we went to the past..I guess we would be from "the future".
I'm not saying travelling to the future is necessarily impossible, just saying it seems more improbable than travel to the past, and yet the popular opinion is the opposite.
Note: The crystal that is in mine was surprisingly powerful enough to go back a full 72 hours! Good luck.

Like..if I went to a spirit shop, etc., what would I say I was looking for?
Also, it looks blue in the picture, but the whole photo appears blue. Is that its actual colour (looks a bit like lapis lazuli.)?
I am thinking I have seen these stones you and the Bandogge are desribing in nature before, but they were more of a charcoal grey or black in colour. Does the colouring vary? If they're the right ones I'm going to be really annoyed with myself for never keeping any of them (!) as I currently live quite far from any place I think I'd find any. Unless you think I could find some at an old quarry?
Not really any spirit shops or anything around either, so might they be available anywhere else besides that? Online somewhere perhaps?

Can you go into more detail on this?
Does it absolutely have to be somewhere like this? And does it have to be done out of doors?
What is Diaphan's Principle? I looked it up but could not find any information on it anywhere. In layman's terms if possible? Thanks. :)
Can you explain decay of time partials as well? (partials? not particle? what are time partials?)
I know that's a lot of questions, but I haven't heard these terms before and really want to understand what you're talking about.
