Amazing articulated metal figure

Steve I've never worked SS. Mostly copper, brass, and aluminum. A few times I've had to do steel. Not too many antenna parts made of steel.
 
At any hourly wage the price to make that must be enormous.
I don't know why it looks like Art but it does. The Swiss Army knife has been displayed in Museums- I'm grasping as something here- some tools look beautiful, like guns for instance, even to a anti- gunner. It's been said the human body is beautiful, though I don't always find that true. This thing could have been stiff, technically correct, but lifeless. What gives it the grace, I wonder? How was it made become beautiful rather than ordinary?

good comparison.

Incredible. Forget the machining skills it must have taken. (Did you see the liners at the finger joints?) The knowledge of human anatomy required must have kept him busy for a year designing it before a single part was turned.

That is someone who I would really like to meet. Hope he keeps that one locked up.

You betcha.
Svashtar's right about the anatomy. The maker had to know it well to put that figure together.

It's beautiful, and there isn't any blue print for that.

Wow! That is fantastic work. I couldn't be even anywhere near that talented in my dreams.

I caught it; I just didn't want to look like a Star Wars geek. ;)
