A simple mechanical flower built to celebrate the imminent (hopefully) arrival of summer. By rotating the collar on the stem you can open and close the flower.
Short video of it in action.
Building instructions and the long video of me building it can be found on my website.
Magic-Brain Calculator, purchased from a TV Guide ad in the 1970s. All it does is add and subtract things, but it does it without electricity, mechanically. It came with a stylus, but you can use a pen or pencil tip to slide the geared tabulators. When done, you zero it by pulling the handle at the top.
Went to a gathering of vintage car owners today. Most of the vehicles were Austin Sevens, but there were other makes there too.
Afterwards, they all went on a road run together.
I enjoyed looking at all the fine detail on them, for example the Calormeter that I've featured here.

The Flying Scotsman came close by a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't know and missed it. I was keen to catch it this time round and it was there and gone in a few seconds, but worth the effort to see it.
Using this for the 116 Pictures in 2016 Project, No. 103 - Mechanical.
The dial was made by Jonathan or Jeremiah Sisson in the second quarter of the 18th century. The clock face was turned approximately south, the first pinhole was moved to the date and the orientation of the dial was altered until the spot of light from the first pinhole coincided with the second. Turning the dial turned the hands on the clock, which then showed the time.

I’ve seen a lot of awesome bonsai trees recently and thought of making one that captures my interests. A big base filled with gears and pistons with a pneumatic arm holding up the leafs with oil slowly dripping down. I ended up making 2 different bases and couldn’t decide which one I preferred (black base being the first design)

My all-time favorite pencil. I haven't bought another pencil since I was given this one 15+ years ago -- and rarely use any other pencil.

A metal praying mantis preying on a terrified Galaxy Squad member.
I built the head and body for this in a few hours and refined the design over the next few days, and I was originally planning on submitting this to Space Jam 2021's Sci-fi Horror category before I created my carnivorous flower design. At first this model wasn't related to Galaxy Squad at all, but I decided to add a member of Orange Team for color contrast and to show off the scale and scariness of the mantis.

The profusion of mechanical signals is evident on the freight only back water, a huge draw for many so photographers.
