you can buy quartz clock movements and hands and stuff from craft stores, so you basically just have to make sure the thing you want to make a clock out of is

1. able to have a hole drilled in it somehow
   
2. thin enough that it doesn't totally obscure the thread on the... bit you put the hands on.
   you need to be able to screw a nut onto it to hold the movement in place on the back
   

floppy disk plastic is fairly brittle and the maroon one actually cracked a bit when drilling it on the drill press, but it wasn't totally ruined so I just made the cracked side the back so you don't see it! it's covered by the movement anyway

this time I covered the disk in masking tape and started with a smaller drill bit and worked my way up to the diameter I needed so there was less chance of cracking
it did chip a little bit but it was way better than last time

to hold the protective slide-y thing open that goes over hole where the actual inner disk is read, I pried it off gently with a screwdriver, took the spring out that makes it stay closed, then glued it in place with plastic glue
