Del Makes Cool Contraptions

Del is cool.  He has made a contraption that has a lot of moving parts, works very well, and is actually a work of engineering art.  The different types of mechanical devices in his work are quite numerous, and as you watch the video you will find the different applications and techniques of delivering mechanical force.  

Luckily Del is happy to tell us about his creation, and he does so with a veritable twinkle in his eye.  Otherwise it would be easy to miss a lot of what is going on when he cranks the handle.  The entire work is made of various types of wood, and all goes together without screws or nails.  As a matter of fact, some of it even started out as a tree by his house.  

 

 

In the video Del calls the contraption his crowning achievement and that he won't tackle another one. Personally I would hope that he does another one or something along those lines.  A creative mind like his could not be kept still for too long.
