This is the one, the only, the knex grandfather clock! It has hands that rotate clockwise! Every time it rotates one full circle rotation, it is equal to ten seconds. It has a fully loaded pendulum that swings back and forth, left and right! And, it looks cool in your living room! This is my first instructable, so remember to rate and leave nice comments

You have done a nice job on the clock. All you need to do is change your gear ratio so it goes by in minutes instead of 10 seconds. I have part of a clock set up, every time it goes around it has been 2 minutes.
