Sounds very nice! Did you spend a lot of time creating this? I found a how-to guide online from someone who spent two years on his mechanism, I was wondering if you found it very difficult. Also, it looks like there's a grid across your cylinder. Is that paper?
@Thomasvanlankveld I think I know the blog your talking about. It took me a week, maybe less, but I got instruction from a blog talking about a "Foreverbox".
@Thomasvanlankveld Basically I took the cylinder part, ripped the ends of it off, and stuffed it with clay. then I baked it and removed the hardened clay from the metal cylinder and attached the end pieces to the new clay piece. then I printed a small grid, cut it out and super glued it to the clay cylinder. then I placed it back into the wind-up mechanism, stuck needles into the grid for the pegs and clipped the ends short.
Which cylinder is this? What thing you have used to replace the original cylinder of that musical box to build your music? It looks like tin or lead soldered pins!
@LHUPA the cylinder is made out of clay, and I used needles for the pins. stuck them in the clay and clipped them short. they are the same needles I used to make my record lathe.
@LHUPA Im a graphic designer/web designer. I work at a medical company, and I design and maintain the company site. search boothmed, or BME in Google and it should be the first link.
Thank you very much! I will visit your medical company's website empressly! I know that several companies have their own website "in-house" with servers! I'm curious Guy!... :)

Stunning idea!... Where you have got the trick to build record lathes out from CD's and then build the "equipment"? In real life what you do?
