      Very interesting. That took some real engineering work to make it work.
      I wonder how many hours he has into this.
      thanks for sharing.

          That is fascinating. The man is very good engineer and exceptional woodworker. I would love to see that in person. Wonder what happens when the humidity goes up?

              WOW! Now here's a gramp with way too much time on his hands, LOL. What a piece of engineering and graftmanship. Lucky grand kids.

                  then you need a 42 lb weight to run it

                      That was very cool.The narrator almost put me to sleep. He is quite an engineer...I wonder if he can solder?

                              Although I don't think it was made out of wood, there is a similar huge thing in the lobby of the Corning Glass Museum in Corning NY. I could just sit there for hours watching it!

                                  Reminds me of the guy who did the 'cartoon' work for Monty Python.

                                      Probably not. That takes SPECIAL training so I hear.
