Time, that man made construct that only moves forward.
Whether one faces East, West South or North.
This was a border line Steam punk project.
Made out of silver, brass and copper.

The basic frame made out of 6 mm brass stock and 1 mm flat sheet.

Then I soldered in the base where all the gears are going to be mounted.

Messing around with various face designs. Eventually I went for a titanium back ground and a copper background.

I cut a nice piece of cherry wood and I experiment with different light bulbs.

To make the feet that fit on each corner of the wood, I first wax carved a master and then cast it into silver.

Then I made a silicone mold.

Then I injected waxes from the molds I had made of the various components.

And spin cast them into brass.

I had an old printer, so I puled all the gears out and molded them in the same way.

Then I made them into a gear train that is mounted into the tower itself.
They actually turn very smoothly, what for being cast.

Here they are inside the tower.

Here is one of the four legs.

Brass and copper layers.

With a silver catch.

I mounted a dimmer switch in the top.

It is a click switch.

And then I modified a stop cock handle that acts a switch and dimmer control, keeping with the steam punk vibe.

The dimmer switch goes to each light.

In it's finished form.
