  • There is detail that is easy to miss, notably the way the bow is realistically canted (angled). The idea that a bow is held vertically is a relatively modern concept that is only applicable if you have sights fitted. As the model is rotated near the end of the clip you can also see the curve on his bow arm.
    There is a more detailed explanation of how it works and how it was made in this video:-

    Not only great engineering, but nice proportions on the model. Keep up the smooth and beautiful work!

    Wow, Derek. The movement on him is so perfect. I can see you still have a ways to go finishing him, but the mechanics and motion are right on. Bravo.

    That is the coolest automaton I have ever seen. Love it.

    Such a range of movement from a fairly basic mechanism, pure engineering genius 👌

    Mr. Hutchinson, this is so clever, you must be part elven toymaker/clockmaker. it gives me joy to see some of this old school tech is still alive. great job! i nearly forgot, next week i'll finally have an indoor bowyer workshop, i still have those warbows, i also aquired yet another yew stave, so when finished will have the elm, and two yew bows. i really need a tillering setup similar to yours, so holding till i have a wall to mount it.

    This is so wonderful, wonderfully designed with such simplicity and perfection.

  • @gletschertroll
    @gletschertroll Před 7 lety +6

    Excellent! Not only the design and the execution as a model, it also works to demonstrate the force vectors and the correct stance for real archers. Even the loosing of the arrow happens as it should. Very nice. I hope you don't mind if I would build myself a copy of this - of course I would mention that is your idea.

      No prob at all! Go for it, but expect an awful lot of fiddling and fettling to get the action to work! Just about every part gets built twice and the control rods have a series of holes where the connect to the cam, each hole giving about 0.5mm extra rod length for adjustment. One cam ended up with a couple of hole positions too. There's a lot of permutations and combinations before you get into the relative positions of the cams!

  • @holohulolo
    @holohulolo Před 4 lety +1

    I've always imagined and automaton to have complex mechanism. This one looks so simple I thought there were going to be a bulk of gears behind that board. This would make such a fun an interesting toy for children to learn about gears and stuff. Great job

    • @delcat8168
      @delcat8168  Před 4 lety +2

      Thanks :-) ... as an archer I could really think about the motion and try to keep it simple. As an engineer simplicity has always been my watchword.
