This is a collection of wood mechanisms driven by a common wood crank. The entire project is wood, no nails, screws, wires, etc. Each assembly is removable. The wood is primarily common pine with some black walnut. Total time required was about 4 months with the majority in the design phase. I was going to add more to the open sides and the interior but decided against it for two reasons; one - it would require more cranking power and two, it would make it difficult to see the existing interior mechanicals. Plus, it now leaves the door open for another possible project to explore more wood mechanisms. In reviewing the audio I mistakenly said there is wire in this thing but not so, it is all wood

  • I have an ebook on Amazon.com that explains a lot of it. Look for "Wood Automata"

  • Hi - The pointer is NOT a roach clip....at least I wouldn't know it if it was. Do I have plans for this project? Almost everything I make I draw blueprints and take many photos of the construction. This thing changed so often I gave up on the documentation. However, for those that are interested, I did write an ebook for Amazon Kindle called "Wood Automata Tips and Tricks" and it describes many of the movements as well as many other wood automata construction techniques.
