Okay here’s the final reveal of the ten-month mechanical Gift Box build.

Deliriously happy to shout from the rooftops that my partner Robin is the most extraordinary person I’ve ever known, and I want to marry her more than I’ve ever wanted anything in my life.

Eighth part of the ten-month Gift Box build

Assembly and dry fit, and first test of all the mechanisms together. Absolutely hair-raising not knowing if it would work or not

Second part of the ten-month Gift Box build

Solved the most complicated engineering part of the build here with the two clutched gears driving the sector gear

First part of the ten-month Gift Box build for my love. More to come!

I like the sounds! I think the sounds are my favorite part of watching this back now
