‘My name is Paul Spooner, 67 and I make mechanical jokes…because I am completely unsuited to making anything else.’
In this video by Aaron Kramer, Paul explains why he makes his delightful wooden automata, and then takes the viewer on a tour of his work. Don’t be fooled by their naïve simplicity, there’s some serious engineering going on here.
