A Clockwork Green????

I got all excited this afternoon when I got an email from Etsy.  It seems that the last clock I made sold this morning!!!  I was so excited to hear it I went out and build another one.  Of course its not the same, not even close, but this one is cute.  Its a little clock, but has really nice symmetry.

This clock is made from 6 hard drive controller boards and one hard drive platter.   Luckily for me, all the holes lined up and  putting it together was fairly straightforward.  Sometimes I have drill my own holes to make a shape I like, and sometimes I just have to find alternative ways to get the look out of the piece that I want.





As you can see the boards overlap each other and surround the platter.  It gives it some interest as you look at it.

For any of you interested in this clock, it can be found in my etsy shop at Dabfly Arts on Etsy.

Thank you for looking, and enjoy.

Another Clock

Here is the latest clock to come from Dabfly Arts. This one, as you can see, has a microchip where each number on a traditional clock face would be.  There are 12 hard drive controllers around the outside.  A piece of clear plexy holds the hard drive platter in place so it appears to be floating in the center of the clock.

Unique Circuit Board Clock

Here is another clock I have done.  This one is made of old hard drive parts.  It would be easy just to place the clock hands on the round platter and call it good, but I used pieces from 8 different hard drives to build this.  They are all screwed together and the platter affixed to the center.  The clock has a lot of interest when you look at it closely.    I am really proud of this one, I hope you all like it.

As with my other clocks, this one may be purchased at my Etsy store.  Follow this link to find it.
