Introduction: Coffee Time
The function of a clock is to tell the time.
Here's a simple project showing how to make a desk clock for less the $5, and takes about 15 minutes to make.
With its small foot print it won’t take up much space on your already cluttered desk.

Step 1: Find the Centre
Find the centre of the cup's lid by measuring its diameter and then, with a compass set to half the diameter, scribe from the edges into the middle.
Step 2: Drill a Hole
Drill a small pilot hole into the centre of the cup's lid. Make it big enough to fit the spindle of the clock mechanism using a larger drill bit.
Step 3: Fit the Clock Mechanism
Fit the clock mechanism and secure with the provided nut. Align the top of the clock mechanism to the dinking hole - this will indicate twelve on the clocks face.
Step 4: Connect the Battery
Insert an AA battery and you are good to go.
