Roller Chain Clockworks

Very cool idea from Ponoko seller ticktock showroom, and reasonably priced at $100 US. Could be a fun remake, too, especially if (like me) you’ve been looking for a use for that old piece of motorcycle chain you can’t quite bring yourself to throw out. [via Boing à la Boing]

    Ack, And I do have some old motorcycle chain and sprockets I could repurpose for that. Now to figure out how to get a shaft to mount the sprockets. Yay welding experience.
