This clockwork needed to have High Torgue in order to be capable of spinning the weight of the globe.

Connect the First Piece

The first step is to wind some tape around the white base. (the hour part of the clock)
Then slide over the piece u see in the image, so it is securely locked in place.
U can see the minutes core sticking out in the middle, Make shure u place the first piece as HIGH as that.
Otherwise the globe will not turn smoothly.

Add the Rubber Washer

The rubber washer acts as the resting base for the globe.

Adding the Globe (Final Step)
