Interview with Paul Boyer. Dug’s Automata Tips : Cabaret Mechanical Theatre. Browse > Home / Archive by category 'Dug's Automata Tips' Brass is a metal that looks good with wood, is easy to work, and can be soldered. You can use it for specific parts or create entire automaton with it! If you are going to use brass, probably the first thing you’ll want to do is cut some.
It comes in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Let’s take a look at some of the more common formats and how to cut them. Read more 10 Handy Tricks for Woodworkers & Automaton-makers We’ve focused on techniques in this column up to this point. How to Make a Ratchet Mechanism A ratchet can be a very useful mechanism within an automaton.
Making Urethane Belts for Automaton Projects In the last article, we looked at how to make pulleys for automaton projects. Making Pulleys and Belts for Automata Pulleys and belts are incredibly useful to the automaton maker. In this article, we will use a simple approach to make a pair of pulleys and make a belt from O-ring gasket material. Read more Read more – Amazon US.

The Circus – Final Project Proposal | dondestagaby. Our final project proposal for Dustyn’s class is a mechanical circus, inspired by Alexander Calder’s wire circus performance at the Whitney Museum and our love for automatons.
It is also a narrative piece; as our main character advances along a circus ring, other characters come to life to perform their tricks and stunts. The track along which our character travels is a timing belt mechanism with six masonite pulleys and one high-torque DC motor running on 12V. We made our own timing belt pulleys by altering this CAD file to fit the trapezoidal teeth of our timing belt, which we got from McMaster-Carr. We cut 1/8 inch MDF board on ITP’s laser cutter, stacked about 5 of these masonite cogs per pulley, and then added slightly larger tops to prevent the belt from sliding. Spacing the pulleys to get just the right amount of tension on the belt was a challenge. Timing Belt from Gabriela Gutierrez on Vimeo.
