Sit Up Automaton automata mechanical kinetic

I drew inspirations from Paul Spooner and Matt Smith's sit-up Anubis. I used a different mechanism to drive the torso up and down. The crank handle is in the shape of a dumbell and the sit-up bar is decorative and doesn't serve any real function. My second piece will do without the sit-up bar but instead have the knees bent and the heels placed flat on the platform.

Someone has too much wood, glue and time on their hands. But cool to watch, nonetheless.
