Real sorry for your loss tim, I remember watching a video titled ‘Tim’s miniatures’ when you displayed a lot of your friends work that he had created with his wife. At the start of this video i can tell that you have suffered a very great loss, but it is fantastic to see that you can relive the memories and joy that you have created and discover with him and his creations.

@daveandgena3166 Год назад

This is a wonderful tribute to your friend! I feel like we can see his sense of humor and whimsy in the work. Thank you for sharing it with us.

@anthonyassadourian8525 Год назад

Sorry for your loss, Tim… what fun he’s left behind, they’ll bring joy to so many forever ❤

@levonja Год назад

These made my day whenever they came up in ‪your videos. Making a fingernail-size figurines produce such lifelike motion is astonishing. The world lost a truly great watchmaker and artist.

@nickdirienzo2849 Год назад

Some of these are wonderfully morbid, very entertaining! Those are some neat pieces.

Sorry for your loss, he brought joy to the world.

The music is absolutely perfect for these toys !

@prdurnion83 Год назад

My deepest condolences to you and the family of your friend. Such amazing creations from such an amazing creator. The world may be dim by his passing, but it is brighter with his legacy. A hearty thank you to Tim and all the Grand Illusions crew for giving us this peek into the magnificent world and works of such a great friend.

@Mark-vs9rk Год назад

His work will continue to bring joy for many years. Amazing skill and such a pleasure to see. The pied Piper one was my favorite

@kotresh Год назад

Such a talented man he was. Rest in peace sir

@StarNanny Год назад

Condolences to his family and friends.❤ This is a lovely tribute. Thank you.

@hullinstruments Год назад

Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. What a wonderful and creative Craftsmen he was I have watched your older automata vids several times and searched RU-vid for them by name multiple times. So glad to see this and always enjoy your videos!

@hullinstruments Год назад

I actually searched for him specifically on google when you mentioned him in videos years ago. I was really impressed with his work. I also studied watchmaking for a few years (as an apprentice until I figured out I didn't have it in me to do such precise work daily) Watchmaking is one of the only trades that requires a Craftsman to have all aspects of his life balanced. It's the only way for someone to have a long and consistent career in watchmaking. He was very talented and exceptionally skilled.

@chance1986 Год назад

What wonderful little toys. And what a nice tribute to your friend. He was very talented.

@zoeblopaistinpannu5278 Год назад

@spiranomad Год назад

Your friend was an amazing artist and engineer from the looks of it.

@SoulAir Год назад

He was a watchmaker

@shadixyt Год назад

@@SoulAiryeah that would explain it. Watchmakers are built different.

@stonedcommander Год назад

Such a wonderful collection within your incredible collection of toys. These were sweet, thanks for sharing them:)

@overweightactor Год назад

Wow, those are neat. My favorites were the skeleton musicians and the surgeon sawing a leg off.

@Segafishy Год назад

Sorry for your loss, I think its between the fish bowl and the ship in the bottle as my favourite, Swiss army knife reminded me of a whittling kit I saw as a kid that used a tiny pen knife (far more simple in appearance) to learn carving with.

@meganwalker27 Год назад

Rest in peace, Laurence, an outstanding creative mind 🤍 I can't choose a favorite of these works, they're all precious 💕

@richardhalliday6469 Год назад

What a fantastic legacy your friend has left - clever, ingenious and a wonderful thing to see. In these days of high tech and the digital revolution it is so refreshing to see these hand made unique pieces. You treasure them Tim - happy memories and condolences to the family.

@grekygrek Год назад

I am sorry for your loss Tim. However, as you stated, the legacy your friend St. Leger left behind, is one that will stand out for many years to come. And based on your collection, he will be bringing joy for even longer. What better thing than to live on after death as a playful laugh, a look of wonder and awe from those tinkering with your creation...

@skullmax3595 Год назад

@Laurencetw Год назад

such a beautiful and loving tribute to your friend. I've been enjoying your website and channel for many years, and it's clear to see that you're a good man. ...an interesting (meaningful?) coincidence is that my birth name is also 'Laurence', and spelled in the same uncommon way. God bless you Tim.

@charlesmangum2100 Год назад

Love the piggie chef. Tim, what is the value of your collection? Or, is the value our love for these novelty items?

@carpespasm Год назад

Your friend seems like he was a Tim Hunkin in skill, only done in minature. They have a similar sense of humor to their works.

I was inspired by his creations in tims other videos I made some out of bottlecaps and breadties.

@MarwanMohdZahari Год назад

My condolences. I was fascinated with automatons, and had read a lot about them. He was quite talented indeed.

@GoetiaTV Год назад

Brilliant! The subject matter and the motion of each one has so much personality. Since I first saw an automaton, I’ve wanted to build one. I’d love to try something like these.

@jimhood1202 Год назад

Fantastic creations. Love the way that the tiny scale allows and even demands different mechanisms and materials that wouldn't work on a larger scale.
