The annoying Knex machine

Hey guys, so for a while now I havent posted anything, or been around on Ibles much, but now Im back and to start off again, Im going to post this cool little device I made.

Its not much, but its annoying. How it works: As you turn the handle of the top of the box, 3 gears connected to each other spin, and there is an arm touching one of the gears, and as the gear turns, the arm clicks on its teeth, creating a super annoying sound.

Here is a video of it in action:

So you like what you see do you? Well that's good to hear! So without further ado, proceed the next next step, gather the pieces, and let's get building! :-)

Also please rate, comment and subscribe... Thanks! :-D

what does it do?

I've made something like this before using legos, but minus the arm. Had such a high gear ratio that the last one was spinning fast enough to sound like a low-volume alarm.
