Training for Christmas

This piece was made for an article in Woodcraft Holiday 2005 that gives detailed plans on how to make an automaton of your very own.

The automaton, when cranked, shows Santa working out on the parallel bars.

Going up and down many millions of chimneys requires some very strong tricepts.

This is the signed original prototype by the artist that was featured in a woodworking magazine with nationwide distribution. The very first of its kind, sure to be duplicated by others.

Now in a private collection
