Ric Seaton – Designer and Builder of Quirky and Beautiful Automata

Designer & Developer

If you ever wanted to build unique wooden automata, but don’t understand the engineering, then this channel is exactly what you need. I’ll show you simple mechanical movements and how to design quirky displays, build them and EVEN how to make an income from your efforts.

    I created this blog so that I could engage with other wooden automaton builders, and share what I have learned over 40 years about this brilliant craft. I’ll share projects with you and on my YouTube channel, show you where to source free materials and explain everything to get you started or improve what you already know.
