These components feature in an edition of 30 Magician Automata I'm building. Here I'm making spring-loaded brass arms that assist the operation of the trapdoor. This component comprises four parts that must be accurately manufactured to operate correctly. My homemade CNC machine cuts out the exact profile of the support, and additional parts and cut, drilled, formed and soldered together. I've been living my life for the last few months by the number 30. I have to be well organised in my process

South Pointing Chariot. 3000 year old design(!). This is a small gilded brass working model of the full size chariot. Wherever the chariot goes the Emperor always points south. It is a form of mechanical compass developed for practical use to guide pilgrims and army’s. If this interests you even slightly then wiki it and prepare to be amazed. #compass #chinesetechnology #southpointingchariot #mesmerizing #noescape #guidelife #explorer #china #emperor #south #automata | The House of Automata

Karakuri dolls, or Karakuri ningyō, are traditional Japanese automata dating back to the 17th century, blending artistry with mechanical engineering. These dolls were designed to perform specific tasks or entertain, like serving tea, firing arrows, or writing calligraphy—all powered by hidden gears, springs, and pulleys without electricity. Japan’s last Karakuri doll master, Tamaya Shobei IX, is a ninth-generation artisan preserving the 300-year-old tradition of mechanical puppets. He recreates

This automaton, created in 2005 by Catalan artist Alina, depicts an operator handling the historic Lumière Cinematograph, combining wood, brass, porcelain, and fabric in a highly detailed sculptural piece.

The articulated figure, dressed in late 19th-century style, stands on a display base that recreates the operator's actual posture. The work pays tribut
