Lol, thought you were going to link to some complicated Arduino-based project then
Wooden gear clock? I've got a kit upstairs but haven't started it yet. I bought from this site:

How about introducing him to Arduino? He could go on to build anything he wanted once he got the hang of that. (You can get starter kits that come with carious devices so you can learn how to wire and program them..)

Nice! Shame I didnt see that before I bought him a title instead. Might get it for him anyway though, thanks for the link
Good choice. You could show him this thread:

Maybe even get him to post in it with his progress.
