Uncle Don's Mechanicals are up and running! These "toys" aren't for small kids, and you don't play with them on the floor. Hang them on the wall like the works of art they are, and then turn the crank, and watch wonderful things happen! Each piece hangs from 2 nails for greater stability since you are going to be playing with them!
The Cyclist
The crank is right there in the middle of the grass right under the bike. Gently rotate the crank clockwise and the wheels turn as our cyclist heads down the hill.
20x16" frame - hangs nicely from 2 nails - Price $450
The Swamp
Turn the crank - right in the middle of the fish - the fish swims along, the frog floats back and forth, and the dragon fly flits by managing to avoid his natural fate every time!
11"x14" frame - hangs nicely from 2 nails - Price $350
Triple Wheel
Turn the crank - right in the middle of the large wheel - clockwise, and the three wheels spin and bob around with most fascinating strobe effects.
11"x14" frame - hangs from 2 nails - Price $300
Aerial Adventure
Turn the crank - right in the middle of the small cloud, and the plane dips and dives through the clouds, propellors spinning, looking for safe passage through the skys.
about 24" across - hangs from 2 level points about 14" apart - $325
Rocky Mountain High
Not quite available yet, but it will be soon! A revision of my first prototype, this one is really cool! Turn the crank and lots of things happen - the grass waves back and forth, the car bounces along, with steam coming out of the hood, and exhaust coming out the back, and the driver bounces up and down in his seat. The sun traverses the sky, with the clouds just managing to miss covering the sun every time!
22"x18" frame - hangs nicely from 2 nails - $650
Smaller 5x7 pieces - any style - $90 each - hang from 2 level points for stability.
Keep on the Sunny Side - turn the crank and you'll always stay on the sunny side!
Looking for Dinner - but the fly escapes every time behind the lilly pad!
Beauty and the Beast - he tries to act fierce, but the lady calms the savage beast every time with a simple gesture!
