Sam I Am Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 Does anybody really care....about time?. My wife and son are both photographers, and I like to collect and tinker with cameras. So since I had too much time on my hands, and it's ticking away from me, I made my son this for his desk. I took a dead Pentax film camera, and found a damaged lens which I proceeded to gut. I used epoxy to glue the barrel back together in the position I wanted it, and installed the clock in the end.
Russell C Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 Fabulous idea! I guess it's time to finally deal with the orphaned wheelcover missing its big logo cap that's just been leaning uselessly against the garage wall, but I'll have to find the time to round up a clock to replace the cap.
TonyK Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 Man, that clock fits perfectly. Nice work. And I like your song references.

Lunajammer Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 The nice thing is it lets a cool looking camera be out where people can see it and still serve a utilitarian purpose.

I started singing the song from reading the title - then I read your post and found out that IS what you're referring to. Love Chicago!

bobthehobbyguy Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 Cool. Very creative. Functional art. Definitely a conversation piece.

BeakDoc Posted November 21, 2020 Posted November 21, 2020 Very cool idea! I dig that you snuck those Styx lyrics in there too. Yet, as I drink my coffee, scroll thru the forum and fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way, I can’t help but think that you missed a great opportunity for a Pink Floyd reference.
peteski Posted November 23, 2020 Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) Does anybody *REALLY* know what time it is? I love how you took some "spare parts", and made something useful and artsy out of them. Edited November 23, 2020 by peteski
