For all of you who have
wondered about the process that I follow in creating these fascinating
kinetic sculptures, here is a book with the answers.
In the book Joy
in Motion: Exploring Kinetic Sculpture there are no completed
plans. Completed kinetic sculpture plans are available on my
website. Instead, we walk through the creative process from
beginning to end; from concept to reality, and show the steps
that I use to bring a sculpture to life. I describe in much
more detail how some of the kinetic sculptures shown on my website
actually work.
You’ll also get
to see some completely unique mechanisms. There are many sculptures
shown in the 282 pages of Joy in Motion: Exploring Kinetic Sculpture
that have not been previously displayed, and cannot be seen
anywhere else.
Other creative builders are also showcased in this book as their
work illustrates the various sculptures, techniques, skills
or just plain genius of those woodworkers from around the world
with whom I’ve been so blessed to come to know as virtual
friends.
The way I create is certainly not the only way. There are many
ways of applying engineering and physics, after all. But I think
understanding the process will be a useful guide in helping
builders create their own unique and exciting sculptures.
The price of the pdf
book is $56.00 and is available as an instant download using
