This is why planning is needed. Hopefully, anyone else replicating this will leave out all the extra speed holes. It’s already loaded with Blast Processing! :P

Making a clock out of a Sega Mega Drive II seemed like a wonderful idea. Unfortunately, I discovered that drilling holes in the right place is rather important. I started with an 8 mm drill bit, put the hole in the wrong spot and then had to move everything down a little. Whoops!

The clock mechanism was also a little too short for the job, which meant one of the cartridges wouldn’t fit properly. The other cartridge was being held in place with Blu Tack. Meanwhile, I’d drilled a couple of holes in the back and used some electrical wire to hang the whole contraption on the wall.

I’d originally bought the clock mechanism for a PlayStation, but didn’t have a suitable broken one lying around. The Mega Drive II was available, so here we are! A different set of clock hands and something to cover that extra hole would finish things off rather nicely.
