Mechanics for Creating Wooden Automatons

“I want to thank you for allowing yourself to experience a new building process! My main recommendations are: have fun with the creative process and don't worry about very precise measurements or complex movements. And to help organize your project, I've prepared a list of essential steps. Check out: • Analyze and interpret project drawings. • Assemble necessary materials and basic tools. • Draw the pieces on the wood and start cutting and drilling. • Pre-assemble the parts to check the functioning of the mechanisms. • Complete the finishing of the handles and wooden parts and fix what is necessary.

Now it is your turn! Share your process and experiences in the forum so we can see your project. Your work will inspire the community! Your publication will form part of your portfolio here at Domestika and will be a space for you to showcase your work. Have new ideas, create alternatives, enrich your creativity. Also, I invite you to give feedback and comment on the work of the creative community. Take the opportunity to network! Whenever possible, I will also comment on the works and follow what is happening in the forum. See you soon! ”
