Pendulum Clock
The first try of a pendulum clock was a total failure.
I wanted the pendulum to swing back and forth within a glass enclosure.
The problem was, that I needed to cut off the pendulum rod to keep the pendulum from striking the sides of the glass. But this made the clock to run too fast.
DUH !

This is what it looked like before
I had to tear it apart. >

I got annoyed about the pendulum kicking my butt, so I decided to strike back.
So I went on the conquest to make an upside-down clock, with the pendulum staying steady and the clock itself swinging back and forth. That will teach that pesky pendulum a lesson!
But how should I do it ?

First try to get the mechanism figured out. >
Too jerky.
