Making such things might be a good hobby. I am looking forward to other cool inventions :)

Clayton’s clock designs are all fantastic. I’ve made two myself; Galileo’s Bicycle and Simplicity. Plans are available on Clayton’s site linked in the article, including plans for “Swoopy,” seen in the video.
