AryaAurora is the friend that "dragged" me here. 
Her alethiometer is great -- as are many of her other fan projects!

Really nice, I think I said so already in your welcome thread! I especially like the centre of the book version

The symbol wheel on the book alethi photo was just paper. I've since done the symbol wheel as simulated ivory:

Hopefully I'll make more soon.

I tried to make one out of tin foil once...Um, as you can guess, it didn't work. I ended up crumpling it into a ball in like a minute, lol.
Try clay. Clay is fun.

CuriousGoods, you did a great job on those! I've never been able to figure out how to make one that I liked. The detail is soooo exquisite. Could you PM me on how to make one, even if it's out of an Altoids tin? Again, great work. I loooooove your Alethiometers, and I'm so jealous of you right now.

I actually did once, in year 6. It was made out of paper and cardboard, it's still around somewhere I think.

I painted an alethiometer to our guestroom wall. It isn't very practical. But I have to say you guys are doing great job!

Beautifully done! I just posted some pics of my own pocket watch - alethiometer conversion in another topic. I'd wanted to make one ever since I read the books, and originally planned to scratchbuild it using clock parts. But then I saw a "skeleton" pocket watch, and realized most of the work had already been done for me.
I couldn't figure out how to include a third symbol-selection hand and maintain the functionality of the timepiece. Not surprisingly, watches lack a lot of spare room to work with!

I keep staring 
Great job!
Great job!There is the elephant.
He's happy with his baloon.
Oh no, it's gone!
Where is it?
It's not behind the rhino.
Look at the aligathor's mouth.
It isn't there either.
Oh, the monkey got it in the tree.
It brings it back.
They all drink lemonade...
THE END

Why don't you post them here so we can see. Or post the link to the other thread. It sounds very cool.

I saw the pocket watch Alethiometer on ebay just a day or two ago going for over 200 dollars (last time I checked though I'm certain it probably ended up selling for more.) I've jealous of the lucky chap who happened to win that!

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

Sorry, I thought it would be easy enough to find the other thread entitled "my alethiometer." That link is:
http://www.hisdarkmaterials.org/cittaga ... php?t=8373
I also wanted to avoid seeming to ride the coattails or, even worse, look like I was trying to steal the thunder from CuriousGoods' wonderful and impressive works which are featured so beautifully in this thread.

Not bad. Not bad at all...You may possibly give CG a run for her money on this one.

wow... thats REALY intricate ! (however you spell that...)
! (however you spell that...)And though you be done to death, what then?
If you battled the best you could,
If you palyed your part in the world of men,
Why, the Critic will call it good.
Death comes with a crawl, or comes with a pounce,
Whether he's slow or spry,
it isn't the fact that you're dead that counts,
But only how did you die?
