I liked your little prizes & game good job Thanks for sharing it

Wonderful, I hope people appreciate the amount of work that has gone into those, true artist creating marvellous things.

Philip, I must say that between the clock tower video and this one, that it appears that you live in a very pleasant place. You are an asset to your community! Your cats and dogs are adorable, and I enjoy getting glimpses of your workshops.

Quite amazing what a little paint and your skilled hand can do to transform a block of wood into something so cute.

What is a “fete?” I’m in the USA. Is it what we call a fair?

Where did you get your reamer from? I have a very small set for clock repair, but cannot seem to find a handheld reamer for Wood.

Nice. But you should have shown the working elephant, or at least linked to it. I had to search your channel for 'elephant'.

Thankyou for sharing your knowledge, very interesting and a lot of skills.

Great job! Love to see the whole process. You have an interesting shop. What are the tools behind you?

Thank you 🙏

Coming along swimmingly! It's nice to see a guy willing to talk about the elephant in the room.

Always have a carving glove on the hand holding the wood. Never on the hand holding the chisel. It will stop/slow a slicing cut into your hand, not good at a direct stab, but then some protection is better than now.

Philip, thank you for taking the time to make this video. Your work is absolutely brilliant. I’ve been a fan for a long time now. I’ve built a few automatons myself, but the quality of your work is top notch. I really enjoyed watching you work. You are an inspiration.

With an interest in Automata and Marionette Puppets I am still trying to work out the best woods to use while being readily available here in New Zealand.

Bravo, wonderful video. What type of superglue do you use, thin or medium?

Thumbs 👍.

Bravo cuánto ingenio tenían estos juguetes antiguos, me encanta su mecanismo, gracias por su creatividad y compartir

A tip that you may or may not know: Don't discard old windshield (windscreen) wiper blades. There is a nice piece of stainless steel flat stock in them that gives the wiper its spring tension. I learned this from The Lockpicking Lawyer when he showed how to make your own lock picking tools.

I should have dressed better to watch this video. I feel that I just attended a master class at Lowndes University. Thank you!

love it

Gracias por mostrarnos tan detalladamente el proceso, le comento que seguí la liga de los planos y el pdf no fue encontrado, me puede ayudar, gracias

wow~ ⊙o⊙

Philip, I'm loving your videos, but I found the music in this one pretty distracting. May I suggest that you decrease the volume or leave the music out entirely? You don't need it. The content stands on its own just fine.

Amazing work, the replication is a masterpiece in itself. And the attention to detail is very much a essential part. Wonderful automatons. Love the videos.

Thank you !! Amazing work !

I'm completely with you on this, it's the one part of the automata that you touch (unless you're like me and want to poke and prod everything!) so it has to not just look good but also feel good. Love the arrow showing direction by the way!

Thank you 🙏 Philip

Very interesting. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you Philip for your wonderful video. I immediately tried making this by replacing the fish with red sea bream. I have attached a KZfaq video of the work. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kM98lLVkyLa7ep8.html Thank you. by CNC Paradise

Fantastic! Thank you

Hi Philip...another wonderful video. It is so generous of you to detail things the way that you do. And I love the video background. Nice fish!

THANK YOU!!! Can’t wait to try to make one!!!

Thanks

Great video, always good to see how things are made, thankyou for sharing.

It's always a pleasure to listen to you think out loud!

Thank you for sharing 👍

Really cool, nice craftsmanship too. U shud do the guy from grizzly tales for gruesome kids

Hi Philip, thank you so much for sharing your experience. Having recently retired, I’m keen to look into this craft, not as a means to generate an income but to just enjoy the process. I’ve worked with wood most of my life and only recently learnt new skills using a lathe and wood turning. Your videos around painting (another skill to learn) are most helpful and I’m keen to catch up on anything which will assist me. I guess I just wanted you to know that your channel is fun to watch and your approach, calm and extremely honest, is a pleasure to watch. Many thanks. Wayne

Our best laid plans...

As always valuable information thank you for sharing.

amazing video I enjoy it it s amazing everything made in the past now a days still working !!!

A very interesting adventure. It seems that you have been entrusted with this gem for a time. What an interesting responsibility, caring for something as old and as capable as this timekeeper. It gives you a different outlook and reference point, doesn't it? Thanks for sharing.

Thanks that was very interesting, have you ever made a wooden Clock ? That is something I’d like to do one day?

Did you say how old the church was . ? Makes sense putting it in front of a window. Thanks for sharing this

Amazing thankyou for sharing, they built things to last. Even some of are coinage is throw away now as in it rust's away.

Idylic setting. Marvelous mechanism. It is rewarding to work a craft with such a deep, almost magical, historic past. These marvels are all around us. Dramatic presentation, suspenseful music. The only thing missing is your hunchback!

Hello it looks superglue but a pity on the video i can’t read wich glue it is, your finger most time on it🥴 it’s brand locktide but wich one?? For the rest i thank you for sharong sll your knowhow! Its is inspiring a very usefull!
