Lock the tripod and do not touch it. The same frame at different times is the cleanest way to show time passing. Between the repeats, collect inserts of the process: hands, tools, the object at different stages.

Watch out. Mark the tripod feet with tape. If the phone moves a millimetre between takes, the cut jumps.
