My Time
Machine lever
This is my life-size Time Machine lever. It
is 18 cm (7 inches) long and the crystal is 5 cm (2 inches) in diameter. I made
it in December 2005 of birchwood, steel, brass and a glass crystal. If you enlarge
the pictures by clicking on them, you can see that the lever consists of five
parts: the crystal, the handle, the lower part (oops, I forgot to make the end
pointed, this one has a flat end) the brass fitting and a screw. The brass fitting
has holes as do the glass crystal also. Here I must get a sixth part, some sort
of steel string to connect them. Then I insert the brass fitting in the wooden
handle which is hollow, I put some Plastic Padding on the top under the crystal
and screw the parts together through the end of the handle. Then I put the steel
part in the lower end and the lever is almost finished. In this summer I will
paint it in its traditional colours and in the end of August i can show my finished
Time Machine lever.
