Trying to create an analogue clock, and its driving me mad! To keep things simple, trying to avoid building it with cogs etc. and thought i'd be able to set things up that the 2 hands spin independently of each other. the 1st part (lets call it the hour hand for claritys sake) works fine.block of material (1 thick?) with a a Disc of cardboard (thin) with a fork embedded in it with a motor bolt. Fine. Cannot for the life of me think of a way to then add the minute hand. tried a piece of light matter "hovering" over the 1st/hour motor bolt with a motor bolt/knife on it, that doesn't work. Any ideas? I should mention that precise "time keeping" isn't really important

Don't use an "object". Use a decoration. You could either place a square of holo in the center and put a rotator on it, or use a longer bit of holo and use the motor bolt. Either way, rather than using an "object", use a decoration (such as the exclamation sign, or the chrome pipe). The decorations move in their own little planes of existence and do not collide with objects. I just tested this by making a quick circle with a knife bolted to the center, then created two circles of thin layer holo and placed the exclamation on one and the chrome pipe on the other. Bolted them both to the center of my big circle, then set all three motor bolts to separate speeds. Works a treat! Hope this helps.
