When I saw this I thought of Michael Hackney, the Eclectic Guy who posts here from time to time. The man who made this is one of his kinsmen, at least in spirit.

Re: 18th Century Gear Manufacturing
Robyn, that brings back some fond memories. The Franklin Institute has a similar automaton (googlable) that was on display when I was a kid. My brother and I would gape, slack-jawed, as the little guy went to work.
Years later, I commissioned a machine to be made in my own image. It was built in the back of a local restaurant. Of course, that was before I started wearing bifocals.
