Yes...a whole factory of them...If you worked out the cost of materials used in a main bearing train clock (think it was 3) it really was a wonder the rozzers didn't visit more often...:PDT_Xtremez_42:

I made a Burns night gift out of an aircraft toilet...mounted it in/on a wooden plinth..put rubber floor grip on the seat and blanked out the sh*t hole and put shoe cleaning kit in it for the Brass Nut in Kef...

Obviously got the bay boys to steam clean it first...sh*t job that!

Me neither. Got one made from a Pressure Gauge, though.
