Hand made Victrola
This simple machine has been the hardest of all the machines I have made in my career. Materials: mica horn, yogurt lid as sound diaphragm (tried a real Victrola diaphragm with no success), hand made sound producer (thing that hold the diaphragm), hidden wood pulleys and hand crank. It doesn’t sound too bad, but Im still not happy with the quality of sound. Work, work, work.
Inside the Studio
I have been reading News from Nowhere by William Morris which looks at the idea of a utopian society during the industrial revolution. Also I have just started some old works by Ruskin. So here is a hint on what the work is about: think machine replacing man vs man replacing machine.

Very Late
School took hold of me and I didn’t have any time to post what has been going on in the studio. It’s so exciting where the work is going and where the materials are taking me. I’m not going to talk about it yet because the materials are not ready to reveal their concepts. I will show you a few images of what is happening.
