IN MY HUMBLE OPINION | Contemporary Automata

“In my humble opinion” pattern for sale

I have created the cutting pattern and full photographic instructions for making this automaton.
The mechanism makes an excellent starting point for many other automata of your own design just by changing the cams of including more gears.
The gear set-up is the one that I use in most of my automata.
See the bottom of the page for examples that other people shave made and also derivative automata that have been made using the plans as a base.

Photographs of all stages are included for simple construction.

You can make this automata. It could be made with hand tools but a bandsaw or scroll saw would make things easier.

These plans show such attention to detail, skill and passion in your art and design of automata. Their quality clearly shows that you have spent much of your time in producing them. Thank you for their publication and the sharing of your knowledge and experience.
