How to Design & Craft Wooden Automata

If you ever wanted to build unique wooden automata, but don't understand the engineering, then this channel is exactly what you need. I'll show you simple mechanical movements and how to design quirky displays, build them and EVEN how to make an income from your efforts.

Creating the 'box of tricks' that allows your diorama characters to move, is the bit most people shy away from. So if you are trying to source stand-alone, high-quality wooden mechanical basements, I'll show how to build your own. 

My first video will be uploaded on July 1st 2026, and I will update my progress every Wednesday. 

If you would like to be notified just email me on ric@woodcraftinmotion.com and I'll keep you up to date.

And please don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel, as it really helps me to get seen.

I will give you free design plans at various times to enhance your journey, and I'll put all this out in book form soon as well.  See you soon - Ric
