I finally finished it. (patting self on back) :

Here's a close up of the face.

Here's a video of the moving hands, I don't know why it came out sideways, but you guys get the point.

I think that was my daughter typing away at the computer. Unfortunately the clock doesn't have sound yet. I'm looking though!

Great looking clock, now all you are missing is the shadowy hand moving across the front of it.

What kind of motor did you use for the clock hand movement?

The shadowy hand......that's what I forgot!!

For the motor, I used a reindeer motor. It great because there's virtually no torque required. I've tested it for about 3 hours and no problems (knock on wood).

how did you do the face?! I actually have the sound that they used in the Huanted Mansion for the clock. On mine last year I just pluged in my ipod into some computer speakers and hid the speakers in the clock.

The clock looks GREAT !! I've never seen anything like it!
Isn't the skeleton hand shadow actually on the wall that the clock is standing against?
I may be wrong. Been a while since I've been in the Haunted Mansion.
