Welcome to the community!
He is magnificent!! :star_struck: That original work is glorious!

Art - The conveyance of spirit by means of matter… And you nailed it.

I am intrigued by the mechanism of it all driven by only one motor. :no_mouth: A series of cams in the base?

It’s 30 pound monofilament. It holds up pretty well
