- Shop Test Video for The Alchemysts Clocktower.
In this "lights on" demonstration this we see the Alchemyst in his lab .This piece was designed for low lighting in a parlour setting ,this footage was taken for insurance purposes before it left for its new home in Oregon .
This particular show is called "Pillars" It took many years to realize this automaton and care was used to make the advanced technology below stage adaptable in the future while keeping the figure itself purely mechanical.The Alchemyst is only 12" tall and consists of hundreds of hand machined brass and steel spieces.The tower itself consists of thousands of pieces was built from scratch out of wood, steel brass and fabric and just about any other high quality material where needed.The industrial machinery includes pneumatic valve's ,servos,clockwork,and lighting and fountain (water) systems

An astonishing piece of work!
I have worked in animatronics and puppetry for nearly 20 years and haven't seen more beautiful piece. I have a headache just imagining the construction and design that went into this.
Truly exceptional.
Such workmanship, it is a delight to see such a high art still active in this day and age!!
what incredible engineering
Bravo!
Simply magnificent. How can 6 people dislike this master piece is my first question?
they want something they never seen before
Fantastic work, the automation is a joy to watch.
As an artist, wood carver, sculptor, I have to say this is the most amazing thing i have ever seen !. Outstanding piece, absolutely top notch workmanship. Bookmarked and you have a new fan and follower. Fantastic !
Dude, I'll give you my soul for this.
I like the story he tells. Sounds like a grim fairy tale or some sort of parable in a drama like how Hamlet had "The Mousetrap"
This is the Most Amazing Automaton EVER!... I would Kill to have this!...
It's like having Disney's Haunted Mansion in your own home! You should be an Imagineer.
Thomas, this is, indeed a fine piece.
Thank you for sharing it with us (we who have not been able to see it in person)
It was a pleasure to have been of sme service to you.
Wow! Tim Burton would pay for any of your works , probably a million bucks!! You are so Brilliant!! Where is your Gallery? Bill and Katie,, We love you!!
@videochemist
Yes we know !.. before typing.......... please READ THE TEXT!! this piece was still being tested right up to the last minute before it left for good.No timefor a fancy shoot.
,A second tower is being completed for my studio , professional video will be available of it in our upcoming documentary DVD which will be available for sale in the future.
Simply Brilliant. I love the artistry of the Story-teller, the magic of the Marionette Theatre, the superb renderings of character in sculpture, and of course - the historical-based technology of the true Automaton. A wonderkind, indeed, is our Thomas! ;) Smashing !
I marvel at these incredible creations. Very inspiring. The hours it must take. Being an artist as well I imagine for you time fades as you enter that realm of the now where all external thought evaporates, an island free from the modern world. That place of complete internal silence, when you become the art.
wow. This was absolutely amazing, I've never seen anything like it! At first I thought it was animated but then the fire seemed pretty convincing it wasnt...
Amazing job, really.
Wonderful creation. I especially liked the use of an orrery as the second hand.
I'd love to be on a notification list for the DVD as well. This is really stunning work.
I could watch that all day long!
How I would love a piece like this! Absolutely magnificent work!

@videochemist You need to print something at 30 fps with a shut the hell up lens, maybe to be projected onto a i'd-like-to-see-you-upload-something-valuable screen?
How much for cash ?
