Cranking on the Automata Praying Machine
I am starting to think through how the gears are going to move in the Praying Machine.
I made a jig that lets me try out moving gear ideas.
Last time I posted about automata, I mentioned Dug North. I have found another maker that is also incredibly inspiring. Take a look at the work of Keith Newstead. He has a blog here. Just looking at his work makes me happy.
The process of making my machine is as enjoyable as any thing I have ever made – probably better.
I will keep you posted on the progress. I plan to sell this piece on Etsy when it is completed.
