    That's awesome. I had an idea similar to that quite a while back but didn't think that there would be any way in h*ll to make it work but you did. Two big thumbs up to you Senior'

    Very unusual. Beautiful work.
    Clock movements do not interfere with use?

    Wow Tumtatty, stunning work, I noticed your keyboard in the background. Did you put keys off an old typewriter on a modern computer keyboard? Love the look!!! Thanks for sharing.

    No they are just for show. I'd love to have gears that turned when you opened the blade! Maybe someday

    Yeah I used a drill press to cut out all the excess from the old keys and leave just a circle. Then I created keys or used old typewriter keys and attached them to what was left of the modern keys.
