Watch this video. This is an ultimate woodworking project. Wonder how precise one has to be and what wood to use to make this mechanism to perform. Ingenious!

If you got to where you were going where would it be?
that is pretty crazy, i love the creeky sounds.. Hope that room is climate controlled.
Wow, even if you can get past the skill to make all those components, what about designing the thing in the first place!!?? Thanks for the link, i'll be sharing this one.
Great stuff. There's a collection of videos by the maker here:

I think this is the maker's web page:

I can't find anything about his technique. Maybe somebody who speaks Japanese can help.

Pretty cool. But I don't know how long I would play with it. Certainly shorter than what it took to make!
I drink, therefore I am.
that one will stay a spectator sport for me... very neat no doubt the guy has intelligance but i would loose my mind tryin trying to figure how to make it much less trying to use it.. be like trying to play an xbox360

My 9yr old son and his friend just saw that. I'm hoping they've forgotten about it by morning.
Where did I put that tape measure...

I'm with Mike in this one. This is one of those things where it would be like whew that's done....now what do I do with it??
I agree. What is it good for? If I wanted to make such,I'd make it out of stainless steel.
I'm not denigrating the guy's ingenuity,buy it took a long time to build,out of a very wrong material for such an item,and it really has no use,except for the wow factor. I don't think the creaking and groaning device will work for too long without starting to need repairs.
I used to make stuff like that but then graduated to making...........
.....cutting boards

Amazing craft. But wouldn't it be faster just picking up the blocks of wood by hand. Seems a little inneficient.
