steep learning curves ......woof !

some very steep learning curves about what to do first, what is possible to do first , and if you do the wrong thing first it stops the next process happening ....................


but I am fairly pleased with the result ''walking the dog'' its entitled - my aim was to just make a basic automaton. To discover how it moves and how to complete the process.


They are not completed as yet but its a good start.


Now I need more wood to construct more figures and, of course, more time.

journey




I am going on a journey - a journey into unknown waters - a journey that can take me to all sorts of places ................................with all sorts of outcomes.








I am journeying into the world of automata.



me and my figures.


I cant decide whether to work my figures in wood or material or both ............



so experimenting must be done.


I have been studying mechanisms, gears, cams and cranked handles............... its a whole new world!


exciting!
