Good grief, two deeply impressive creations brought to my attention in one day – surely tomorrow will be a let down after this!  Mr Hildebrandt (of the Telecalculograph fame) has outdone himself and created this most beautiful of Steampunk contraptions, which just demands to be set apon a desk of rich walnut in a warm and intellectually pregnant study.

Created from some persistance of vision toys (I’ve seen things like them in the shops and much to my shame could not see past their tackiness to the potential beneath), a latched box and some magnets, it looks utterly marvelous and very, very Steampunk.  Be warned with the video, however, Mr Hildebrandt liked the music a great deal, and after 1:06 the visual side of the video finishes – with the audio track continuing until it’s end.  I do entreat you to take a look at the photograhs of this contraption in Mr Hildebrandt’s Flickr pool, here.  Very well done, Mr Hildebrandt!
