Del's Beautiful New Wooden Machine

Back



An intricate hand-cranked machine made entirely of wood and glue (no metal or other materials). It was designed and built by my friend Del, using many different woods and incorporating a variety of mechanical motions. He has made several other wooden machines, but calls this latest one his crowning achievement. Del is 71 years old.

Awesome machine, but the breathing is creepy.

THIS IS AWESOME. I would buy something like this! Bless this old tinkering man. In England, they call stuff like this a "folly". Useless, but wonderful inventions. In Japan, this could be described as "karakuri", or complex/contrived mechanism. I love it!

That is what I have been striving for. I hope I can get there in my life time.
