Hey Guys!

It’s always a fun challenge to work in gears, such a fun detail!

With this found box being so small I had few options, but seemed to squeeze enough mechanics inside to get it to work.

To gears on the outside manipulate the internal parts.

Adding the metal cap-nuts to the backside as feet ensure that you can set it down nicely with the bottom gears drawing interest!

Thanks for your comments!

Hey thanks Pottz, it’s just fun cut and paste I reckon. 
I think it all stems from trying to keep my younger brother out of my stuff, lol.

No end to the trickery you can pull with various designs, amazing stuff Kel!
That looks like an interesting mechanism. The box looks like it's really old.
