JOST Jean Antoine, est  un prolixte automatiste du XIXème siècle.
Outre son célèbre «Grimpeur du Mât de Cocagne» il réalisa
une demi douzaine d’autres modèles dont la célébrité fut
surtout active dans les cafés, bars, casinos oû dès 1886 ils
font recette. Ces modèles fonctionnent avec l’adjonction d’un
monnayeur, mais il réalisa les mêmes destinés aux salons
sans cet équipement.
Pour lui tout avait commencé en 1885 après avoir acheté le
fonds de Gustave CHEVALIER (autre automatiste oublié car
méconnu,, spécialiste de la « Physique amusante » qui
présentait de grands automates en ébénisterie mais aussi
des jeux de courses qu’il avait fait breveter en 1876,et dont
l’activité remontait au lendemain de la Guerre de 1870.
L’entreprise de Monsieur JOST perdurera jusque dans l’entre
deux guerres mais en ayant abandonné le secteur
«automates» au début de la Guerre de 1914.

Mechanical Swan by Shasa Bolton




I was thrilled to discover a great flapping mechanism in a work by Keith Newstead and simply had to try it in my next project. Here it is...
Black Swan with steel and wood.
The body is made from many M12 washers welded together,
The wings are laser cut with a Tasmanian Oak veneer.
Driven by a large brass worm drive. Shasa Bolton

Les créations de Johan Scherft

Les belles créations animalieres de Johan Scherft 





!!


For a long time I have wanted to make a dragon that can spit fire without the use of real fire or chemicals, but I always thought it was impossible.
Then I discovered a trick with a mirror. I used mirrors for many of my automata. In this case I removed some of the reflective layer behind the mirror, at the place where I wanted the fire to show. The light of the fire is behind the mirror.
The dragon itself is made from paper. J.Scherft.
