Cheap and fun way to make your own watch winders
« on: December 20, 2012, 12:53:02 PM »
Saw this in the watchuseek forum. Got me thinking. Using purely Lego parts.

Anyone wants to have a go at it?

I was thinking to buy the fishfeed autofeeder and convert it to watch winder. But I don't think just turning 12times per 24hours is enough. So I keep looking for other low cost alternatives.
