I can't help but take a second glance at a nice cigar box.  I don't smoke them, but I do like to reftrofit them!

This one is called Purple People Eater due to its slightly purple color.  I added a funky finger tab that kind of looks like a one horn with a one eye, haha!

I can't tell you too much about it other then there are lots of moving parts in there! 

The biggest challenge is to keep doing different things, creating all different kind of mechanisms.  The dial on the right side turns freely enough, but its not until you realize that if something else is done first that the dial will actually slide up, well, if its in perfect alignment it will!  Unexpected action and results is half the fun, the other half of the fun is finding folks that love this kind of crazy.  Lucky for me, there is just enough of them out there!

Thanks for looking guys!

Always amazed at how you come up with the contraptions inside... and make them work.

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD

I call this whimsy, and I love me some whimsy. Nice make/refit. 
It is always a pleasure to see your creations Kel!
