    I saw this (episode 1) and episode 2 a few days ago. At the end of episode 1 I was left pretty skeptical that he'd ever get this contraption working well, but the solution he shows in episode 2 completely flipped my expectations and looks aesthetically incredible.

    (He makes his own very thin brass coil springs to run the cables through.)

    Oh I've been loving this series: its like clickspring for automata.

    The magnetic hands were such a cool idea, and the way he builds the springs for the bowden cables in ep 2, gorgeous!

    I love how detailed this little automaton is! Incredible to see what one person can do.

    Great series of videos. They seem to be an intersection of quite a few of my interests.
