Just before my clock gets it

[Springbok]

Im about to gently open my clock with a claw hammer, reason being, I\'m after the gears in its works.
Might anyone know where I could get similar gears without having to kill my only alarm clock?:beer:

You could buy an identical alarm clock and take the gears out of that one lol

Yard Sales. Look for watches, clocks, odd machinery bits, kitchen tools, etc.

Dollar stores are often a good source of stuff you don\'t mind smashing as well.

Wind up kitchen timers tend to be cheap and full of gears.

I bet you didn\'t bother Googling clock parts did you???

A quick search brought up loads of places so rather than do all this for you here is just one for you and at 60p a through must be worth saving the alarm clock lol

Clock Parts/movements link or This link

Yeah, but who needs $150 worth of clock parts?

 

[War Griffon]

That was just two selections out of a very long list.

I am sure if you search deeper you can find somewhere doing singles after all most craft shops probably sell them as they are a bit like the dolls house hobby as well as others.

 

[Sand Rat]

True.

I just found the kitchen timers easier to get.

With a £5 min order I\'ll be swimming in them! Might go check at the car booty on Sunday

To base an entire army of White Rabbit figures!

A couple cheap, plastic kid\'s toys from your local supermarket or drug store would probably do the trick.

Little pull back \'n\' go cars or anything with a toothed pullcord to make it go zoom is probably chock full of little mechinization gizmos.

What are white rabbit figures?

It was meant as a joke White Rabbit is the guy in Alice in Wonderland, who\'s always complaining about being late.

Ok, slow person alert!
I\'ve got a severe fascination with gears and cogs and the like, I have spotted some steam powered babies and mushrooms, are they scratch built, or can you buy them?

 

[arogers907]

Could be some of Shawn\'s stuff. He seems to sculpt a lot of stuff for Armorcast.

You used to see loads of auctions on eBay for old watch parts and gears, but when a few people who make Steam Punk themed Jewelry got wind, the auctions now get bid up pretty high.
