The YouTube videos show how the mechanism works but I am heavily modifying it to make it from food safe materials. Then I need to make the mechanism removable to facilitate cleaning which complicates it even more. I think I may have mounted the cam wheel too low which may bite me in the butt. But I can't change it now. The wheel is mounted on a stainless steel axel. The box will be glazed Butter Toffee, a light wood-like brown that will accentuate the carvings. I put black underglaze on the spider just to make it POP more. I moved it outside into the desert blast furnace (it's been hot and windy outside) to finish drying. It could be ready to fire by tomorrow.
