Jan Zalud Wood Acrobat Automaton Video
Enjoy this video of an acrobat by artist Jan Zalud - a contemporary wood carver specializing in wooden automata, puppets and other wooden crafts.
This video shows the crank, cam, and ratchet mechanism in fine detail.
He has a very distinctive style and wonderful imagination. He is very good at integrating the mechanisms with the rest of the piece.
Visit Jan Zalud's web site to see more of his beautiful work.
