The above pictures are of the camera in it's original condition.  Read on to see it’s transformation.

My best friend collects vintage cameras and the other day I was at her house and noticed on that was broken.  I took it home and gave it new life.  It's going to be a surprise!

This is hers.  The back is gone but don’t be sad because now it’s a cute little clock!

    1. Well the front of the camera broke off from the back so the front piece had exposed gears and stuff that I just removed with a pair of needle-nose pliers. So now the whole back/inside is hollow. Some of the things I removed caused the buttons not to stay in so I glued them in place with craft glue (like E6000). To get the clock arms through, I took the square glass piece out of the shutter and put in a plexiglass square but the plexiglass only cracked on me so that wasn't going to work. I ended up putting the clock arms through on of the screw holes that I made bigger with my drill.

I really really love and appreciate comments, but i hate spam.

Due to the heavy amount of spam comments I've been receiving lately I had to put the word verification up. I know how annoying it can be when you want to leave a comment but I hope you will understand.

Would you be so kind to take the extra step to post your thoughts?
