How to work with simple
gears, levers, and linkages.
It's a 21-page E-book (Electronic Book) in PDF
format and dozens of up-close photos!
Plus over 20 minutes of video as I dismantle these
props so you can see how they work!
Make animatronics and mechatronics for hobbies, Halloween, Christmas, and more!

This is a fabulous E-book and photos for photographers and hobbyists
on how to design, use, and assemble simple gears, levers, and linkages.
Make your own fun displays, props, and projects!
There are no parts, it's solely an instruction book. But I'll tell you places to
get parts.
You'll get
to see what I've been experimenting with and be able to apply it to
Christmas,
Halloween, retail store displays, trade show displays, whatever)
and I'm going to give you links where you can see some of these actually moving!
I tear things apart so you don't have to!
I took all my favorite animated props apart just for
you!
Now you get a chance to see how they all work and
use those ideas in your own animation projects.
The guy who did the artwork below made them into little movies and I am going to
give you his
website address so he gets the credit he deserves for doing such a great job!
I show you real-life examples. For
instance, I wasted days experimenting with sheet metal, brackets, screws, nuts and washers
-- Until I discovered how to use cardboard mockups for
design and testing.
It's faster, easier, and much more convenient than working with metal!
Bonus Video!
I rip
apart these bad boys so you can see their gears and how
they work!
Get over 20 minutes of video
showing me
taking apart and analyzing several Halloween and other props.
Here are two very short samples. (Hover your mouse in the lower
left corner for both.)
I show you where to get gears and gearboxes and talk to you about
how to make your own mock-ups for testing.
Below is the box cover of one gearbox I show you.
Yes, learn how to make your own simple machines and
make things move!
I have spent a lot of time researching the theory of simple machines and
wanted to make it available
to anybody struggling with animating their Halloween or Christmas
props or moving store display!
The theory and examples are priceless!
I guarantee you'll think the knowledge you gain
will be well worth your purchase price or your money back!

for Halloween?
How do they make the skulls move in and out of the cardboard displays at the
department store?
