Default This Gift From My Bro Kicks A$$
For Xmas my brother made me this kick-*** shop clock. He painted an actual small block chevy timing chain and gears, welded the chain and a hanger to the gears, and then mounted a clock on the bottom. It's a timing chain that actually keeps time:



Pretty damn creative if you ask me!

Anybody ever seen anything like this before?

We do stuff like that in my shop as going away presents. We have done timing chains, wheel bearings,transmission pans,etc. Great idea for somebody into cars.

When someone hand-makes you a gift such as that, it's very special. You'll never forget that clock---especially cause your brother made it...A great gift, for sure. WJ
