A cool technique i saw to make time lapse photos more interesting is actually really easy. While taking the photos, the camera is mounted on a kitchen timer; the timer rotates as the pictures are being taken.
I was going to originally use an old kitchen timer i had.
But it didn't seem like it would be very solid to attach a camera to and the spring didn't have a lot of torque.
So here's the timer i used. I got it from Ikea, it's called the Ordning. It's great for this because it is heavy and flat.
To attach a camera to the timer i used JB Weld and attached a 1/4-20 bolt to the top.
Then i also attached two nuts to the side. That way i can either take pictures on by setting the timer on a flat surface or attach to a tripod. 
Here's what a time lapse video looks like using the timer. I actually posted earlier while making the Pine Beds.
