Automata Toy Shop Window Display.
Our automata toys are now finished!
Lesson 3 - Exploring cams!
I understand that the cam profile causes a follower to rise, fall or remain static at different points depending on its shape.
My automata now has an automata mechanism, including a cam, follower and axle.
Lesson 2 - Drill holes for our rotating cam.
Assemble the frame.
In DT we are making an automata toy for a shop window display.
The first lesson was to accurately measure the wood for our frame and then to cut it safely with a saw.
