Never thought I'd be making something like this but there's a first time for everything! Our Club Challenge comp this year had the theme of 'Motion' - I wanted to do a kinetic sculpture but couldn't figure out the drive mechanism while this project was at least achievable! When you Google this stuff you find most of it is made very crudely from household garbage but I figured nobody was going to buy something like this and if it is going to be stuck in my gallery forever I might as well do a good job on it :;
Made good use of the mini-metal lathe I bought myself for xmas making the pulleys etc. The lathe is about 1/6th scale but don't run a tape over my little guy - I'm not the greatest carver around and if he was real he would have one arm about 6" longer than the other, not to mention one child-sized hand :-
I tried every which way to upload/embed the video here but couldn't get it to work so you'll have to use the link . . . MeTube - ttit's videos (http://www.ttit.id.au/video/MeTube.htm#Woodturner)
