Everyone Has to Make an Infinity Clock ,its the Law!


I wanted to make a timelaps video of the making of an infinity clock, (practice for the timelaps bookbinding) ,however the camera i used can use its battery faster than i can charge it.
it recorded until the point of getting the lights working, i only noticed it had stopped after the clock was complete.
Materials and Tools

marerials
- poundland clock (glass front is preferable to plastic)
- mirror sticky back plastic (fablon) wilko and hobbycraft sell it
- mirror window tint, halfords (or buy a sample from an ebay seller)
- small light source, i used the backlight leds from a lcd screen.
- power for the light source
- switch

- wire cutters/strippers
- screwdriver
- scissors
- craft knife

this is the sort of thing, i took a guess at 3volts being safe.

make sure the clock mechanism has got 12 in the right place, mine was a bit off so adjustments were made, took some photos whilst doing this as the initial video failed.
