Check out this Spooky Animatronic Hand Carved Wooden Head that rosemarybeetle made. I am not sure I could have this on my side table because I would always be staring at the spooky face. The face carving is very well done, it looks like it should be a museum piece!
“I did not work up detailed design drawings, having decided to let the final look of the head develop as it was carved. For this, I wanted to “sketch” the shape quickly in 3D. For this I used polystyrene which is easy to carve with knives, rasps scalpels or craft knives.Â
To control the left/right movement, two flat connectors were attached to the eyeball control rods in a parallelogram frame. These had pivoted joints using small self-tapping screws that could move freely in the rod holes, and anchored into the flat joining rails.”
