Constructing the pulleys for the wing mechanism. I didn't own a lathe at that stage so the easiest way to make the pulleys was to modify the turned wooden handles of some steak knives.
Carved from lime wood, the body has been made separately from the feet. To improve strength at the narrow joint between feet and legs a metal tube has been inserted. A hole runs up through the feet and body to emerge at the neck. This will allow a shaft to pass through to attach to the head, allowing the head to be turned. The tail has been made from a length of 5mm diameter aluminium wire, glued into the body with epoxy resin.

A zombie is a person who behaves like human automaton (usually after being resurrected and stripped of their soul), most commonly seen in fiction as a reanimated human corpse.[1][2] Stories of zombies originated in the Afro-Caribbean spiritual belief system of Vodou, which told of the people being controlled as laborers by a powerful sorcerer. Zombies became a popular device in modern horror fiction, largely because of the success of George A. Romero's 1968 film Night of the Living Dead.
There are several possible etymologies of the word zombie. One possible origin is jumbie, the West Indian term for "ghost".[3] Another is nzambi, the Kongo word meaning "spirit of a dead person."[3] According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the word entered English circa 1871; it's derived from the Louisiana Creole or Haitian Creole zonbi, which in turn is of Bantu origin.[4] A zonbi is a person who is believed to have died and been brought back to life without speech or free will.[5] It is akin to the Kimbundu nzúmbe ghost.
This extravagant highly decorated clock featuring moving figures and sound dates from the 1780s. In 2011, the clock underwent restoration and was repaired to its former glory.
The case is mid 18th century and continental in style. It was probably made for export to China or the Far East.
Although it is now covered in red velvet it would have originally been painted or lacquered. The clock movement and dial are English and date from the 1770s. The clock was altered in the 19th century and the music box is a replacement.
The clock chimes every quarter of an hour and the figure of Hercules at the top strikes the hours. When the automaton is activated the four dancing figures at the base of the temple at the top spin round and the stars rotate.
The glass rods also revolve to give the impression of waterfalls. A procession of 26 figures moves across the front of the clock, while at the back, more figures are seen crossing the bridge between the two water wheels.
The clock was given to York Castle Museum in 1974 by Edward Lamb in memory of his mother, Mary Alice Lamb, and his grandfather, Thomas Child. It was moved to York Art Gallery in 2018.
