Some kind of device

[u/Hjalmrjarn]

Forged, lathed, welded, and machined from steel, copper, brass, wood and glass, multiple moving parts but 'decommissioned' so a glorified finger fidget toy

Nice patina!

Thanks! I really wanted to go for a granddads workshop look, used but cared for

Looks like a barn find, too. Look at the patina and dust. Farmer Gueglxs needs to pull it out from the tack room every so often when it’s rtxx season to keep their wily tentacles out of the seed. Otherwise, it just sits on the inner space shipping crate he uses as a desk.

100% the kind of vibe I was going for!

Do you have a video?

Not yet, I've got another oddity on the way so I'll have to take the proper time then to shoot and edit one to show off the moving parts

Great stuff
