My paper clock kit has arrived....yes paper....

I've seen this book before on Amazon but it was always out of stock or discontinued then suddenly it was available and for £9 I thought it was worth a look.  Well it arrived today and it is literally all paper - you have to build the cogs and all you need to add is a little cardboard to back one or two pieces, some straightened paper clips for the axels, and string for the winding.

It looks like a lot of work with 160 pieces to cut, shape and glue together but it does produce a fully working clock and looks like it will be a similar size to an Atmos (but a bit cheaper and it needs winding).

Here are a couple of pics and when I get time to start it i'll let you know...

It should proove interesting if anything and I can't believe it is literally all paper.  I have seen wood kits which I was interested in but I don't have the equipment for producing those - this just needs a sharp knife, scissors, and glue...brilliant idea.

Yours,

Andy.
