Under-the-hood video of Colin Neu's "First Flight" kinetic sculpture
Did you see the video featuring the amazing kinetic sculptures by Colin Neu? Here is an closer look at one of the pieces featured. This one is titled First Flight. That beefy spring-driven motor you see at the beginning came from an antique gramophone motor. The video shows that there is some extraordinary craftsmanship going on here at every level. I think this sculpture may be as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. Bravo!

Awesome craftsmanship! I'm also impressed this was worked out by hand. I'm so stuck on CAD I it's hard for me to imagine proceding any other way. Wish we could hear it run in this video though.
Agreed, J.E.! Awesome craftsmanship. Perhaps it's time to break out the drafting tools and some old books as an experiment?
