Brass Bathyscaphe

BTW - If the Clock parts Move I'll vote this mod of the Year.

If they down... I Still Might.

What would be even cooler is if the watch parts moved when you hit the button to activate the PV

I love this steampunk stuff you come up with asdaq. Very cool and very original.

Thanks everybody! Nico you mean brass balls? I do have some.

One on this mod, one on another and two in the sack still, much like these:

Amazon.com: Westinghouse #70660 4PK 3/8" Brass Ball: Home Improvement

They make a nice replacement for my knurled nuts!

For a vid we'll have to see.... Also need a pic showing it next to something for a size comparison, these pics are for detail and there is stuff I didn't see before.

You can get some on eBay - $3.60 including shipping - Lot of 4.. 3/8" brass ball screw-threaded hole TV-354 | eBay

I should get a few seein' as how I ain't got any

 

[asdaq]

Not sure how good this is, did it 240p and had to rotate

 

[bstedh]

Now you just need to make the spinny action for VV =]

Too awesome.

Bad ... mod!

 

[Tourlounette]

Your works is just BEAUTIFUL !
What else can i say ...

 

[Para]

That is super cool.....and steampunk to the bone.

When I was a watchmaker I repaired hundreds of those. Want me to see if I have that missing rachet wheel and screw?

Asdaq - this is truly an awesome piece of work:: Would like to quote Einstein

Knowledge is limited - Imagination Encircles the world. Quite the imagination you have for this. Amazing indeed

 

[asdaq]

Thanks for the all the complements!

Para, sure thing if you think it would work again, I'd likely need the screwdriver too I've got a second movement that is more complete and runs for about a minute (not timed) but has no face or hands. Unfortunately it is too big to fit in there, are parts interchangeable between makes and models?

Unflipping believably beautiful!

It's work like this that is not only inspiring, but also a little depressing (when I compare it to my attempts!).

IMO it's really too bad that ECF doesn't set up an easy way for a modder to sell a handful (i.e. <1 per month) of mods per year. Put something like this up in an auction setting and I'd bet it'd fetch a pretty penny!

 

[asdaq]

Mike, I wouldn't sell as for one thing I'd have to attach a value to my time for something I enjoy spending time on and it wouldn't be fair. You did peg my production speed pretty well, <1 per month

 

[Drizzit]

I'm very impressed.
Beautiful mod,unconventional.
Full respect buddy.

Ah but that'd be the beauty of an auction! YOU wouldn't have to price your time, the bidders would! Something unique and one of a kind like this I imagine would get a pretty good price as there's many vapers who collect and nobody else would have one just like it!

The "1 per month" timeframe was simply a way to seperate the hobbists from the suppliers/manufacturers. Nobody would be able to make a living selling only one mod per month and so it's a way to allow some sells while still protecting the interests of the suppliers. Who knows, if hobbists were allowed a few sales, I maybe coulda spent the last 2 years vaping a mAhmba! And maybe I'd have a genuine original Asdaq!
