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.<p>(He makes his own <i>very</i> thin brass coil springs to run the cables through.)
Fyi, episode 3 is out as of ~3 hrs ago:<p><a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=grgIhw1YbHw" rel="nofollow">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=grgIhw1YbHw</a><p>Episode 2 link for others' reference:<p><a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rhjJjDWMQOw&pp=ugUEEgJlbg%3D%3D" rel="nofollow">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rhjJjDWMQOw&pp=ugUEEgJlbg%3D%3...</a>
Oh I've been loving this series: its like clickspring for automata.<p>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.
