I want one. Any hope of plans or mention of the creator? Any closer shots of the mechanism?
I do, too! I did a quick search and didn’t find anything, though I will keep looking. If I find something, I’ll let you know.
I have the idea of the mechanism figured out. It’s beautiful, though I suspect the geometry took considerable working out. All it needs is one of those long-necked swan boats from Boats Direct, hide the workings in the wing feathers. nah, maybe not.
