How to make a clock quickly and easily using an LP (33.3 RMP). Buy a record a few parts and you're off.

I looked on instuctables after creating this one and found another guide here.

What You'll Need.

All you need is clock parts (a drive with a small shaft), a record and a knife.

You can get clock parts from Michaels, craft stores, specialty stores or the internet (of course). I got mine from a store called Bedrock Supplies in Edmonton Alberta Canada.

I wanted a coloured record and found a great selection at an antique store. There are also picture records which I think would look kind of cool.

I just took a knife and spun the record. It was very easy. The hole quickly became large enough for the mechanism.

I used some sticker like place holders and just went with 12 - 3 - 6 and 9. You're done!
