Through diligent study and experimentation, you have discovered how to imbue life into a clockwork shell, allowing it to function as a familiar.  The clockwork familiar can take the form of any of the following: bat, cat, crab, frog (toad), hawk, lizard, octopus, owl, poisonous snake, fish (quipper), rat, raven, sea horse, spider, or weasel. The familiar has the statistics of the chosen form, though it is classified as a construct instead of a beast and its AC increases by 1.  Familiars with fly speed or swim speed cost an extra 25 gp to create and take an additional 2 hours of casting time. 

Your familiar acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands. In combat, it rolls its own initiative and acts on its own turn. A familiar can't attack, but it can take other actions as normal.

When the familiar drops to 0 hit points, it breaks, leaving scrap metal equal to 1/4 its original cost.  You can rebuild it through another casting of the spell.

While your familiar is within 100 feet of you, you can communicate with it telepathically. Additionally, as an action, you can see through your clockwork familiar's eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses that the clockwork familiar has. During this time, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses.

You can't have more than one clockwork familiar at a time. 

Finally, the familiar can integrate magic items**. To do so require recasting the spell and making a Dexterity check equal to the rarity of the item (see table).
You can only integrate a number of magic items equal to half your spellcasting ability (rounded up).
