Tan shirt and brown apron would be my suggestion. He sure looks like the LJ logo.

I love it Chuck. I'll bet everyone who has seen it has had to give it a crank. You can tell, he's planed a big hole right through his board already.

Good one !!

OK,the wire goes up from the crank. Then what happens?

Thanks for all the comments.

PaulM - You're right; title changed accordingly.

Bill - The fishing line is hooked to the wooden plane on the front while the back of the plane is attached to a rubber band (or a small spring). The rubber band in turn is attached to a small nail that is covered by a shaving (see end of bench). The second pic shows the details better.

Happy cranking,

Chuck

Brilliant ! I love the look of it.
Automata have long been on my todo list but I have not got round to working on one yet.
