Wooden automata created for adults and not suitable for children due to small sharp pieces. I try with each automaton to express as much emotion as is possible from essentially pieces of wood. This involves subtle movements with complex gears and cams to ensure accurate movement and timing. Although constructed almost entirely from wood each automaton is designed to run smoothly with only a light touch needed on the handle. I make all my automata in my workshop in East Anglia and I am happy to offer ideas for commissions for window displays, museum exhibits, retirement gifts, wedding presents etc. Auto CLICK HERE to see archive of work CLICK HERE to see linksARCHIVE.htmlLinks.htmlshapeimage_2_link_0shapeimage_2_link_1

Noah’s Ark with a difference

Not an automaton but I have had a lot of interest in the Noah’s Ark jigsaw boats that I made in the 1980s. I have decided to make available the patterns for scroll saw enthusiasts.
