The Annoying Knex Machine

DSCF1090.JPG
Hey guys, so for a while now I havent posted anything, or been around on Ibles much, but now Im back and to start off again, Im going to post this cool little device I made.

Its not much, but its annoying. How it works: As you turn the handle of the top of the box, 3 gears connected to each other spin, and there is an arm touching one of the gears, and as the gear turns, the arm clicks on its teeth, creating a super annoying sound.

Here is a video of it in action:



So you like what you see do you? Well that's good to hear! So without further ado, proceed the next next step, gather the pieces, and let's get building! :-)
