Its Spring again!

Hi Don, The hulls take about an hour to make just with a sandbag and various hammers,they are finished off with the mini wheeling machine in the last pic (I made it from an old button press from a car boot!) The motor duration varies depending upon the gearing and the size of the busted old clock I got the spring from!

Another great build, and biscuits as a bonus rather than cooking oil its a pity that beer moved to Aluminium cans . cheers Marky

Great job.Must have taken awhile to shape the tin.How long does the clockwork motor run?Love to see it run if you post a video of it when it's finished.
