I have always been fascinated by the thinking, time and planning it must take to do these kind of things, but they are amazing.

I loved the Mousetrap game as a kid. There are some good Rube Goldberg machine videos on YouTube.

I would love to attempt a commission for the one from the opening of Elementary
Unfortunately, the potential costs keep me from doing it for only my own personal edification.
