The Making of CMC Automata 

JUST TAKE MY MONEY! *throws wallet at the screen*

*Warning, the following video may cause serious jealousy and you will throw your wallet at the screen.

Can you PLEASE make me one with Derpy with a muffin on her head that falls off and she picks it up? That would be so cute!

Your work is incredible. I hope you feel the same awe as I'm sure many of us viewers do. Extremely fine craftsmanship

You have rendered me absolutely speechless and slack-jawed with your skill and craftsmanship on display here!

All that and no video of the movement? I feel cheated.

Well u may b terribly shy, but u r terrifically talented!! My daughter and I look forward to each creation! She is 6 and thinks we can now try to do this after watching ur video! Lol I don't think so! U r very talented!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful woodwork! We could never afford to buy one , but they r worth every penny of ur time! Thx again

Almost alive. Incredible work. I was mesmerized looking at your work. And the painting is fabulous too.

Beyond amazing. Amazingly beautiful. Amazing talent. We are in awe. We def appreciate hand made wooden toys, objects, etc

amazing craftsmanship but i have to say that i am very, very, very, disappointed that i didn't get to see the creations in motion. it's a huge bummer. i mean, i'll go on, but barely... hahaha. is there a video of these lovely things in motion?

You are a genius! The amount of skill here is unbelievable.

Thank you for putting up the video. It really makes anyone who sees them really appreciate how much design and work that you put into everything you make. It does hurt to see the Scootaloo automata. I really would have liked to keep the set together. But I have Sweeite Belle, and Apple Bloom safely in a glass and aluminum display. I will be bringing them to Trotcon in a couple weeks to let other fans of your work see them first hand. :)

I'm blown away. I truly am, and now feel I can appreciate hand-crafted work like this more.

I've been waiting for this kind of video. Quite fascinating to watch the work behind your astonishing creations. Great work!

These are all so *cool!!!!* I know they're all from a few years ago, but I sure hope you feel inspired to make some new ones, because I just love 'em so!

i wish i could do this

Very nice! Great video!

I feel like I say this a lot, but damn, there are some really talented people in this community. Amazing stuff.

Thank you for providing this look into the process. I'm rather surprised at how straightforward the creation of the gears is. I rather expected there to be a more involved jig for cutting them out.

Amazing work.

You are as good as the Hermes craftmen. Here take my money.... I want them all.

lol. love the use of Golliwog's Cakewalk. perfect! xD

Wow soo you draw first and make them! Thats actually pretty cool drawing skills rigth there! WAIT I CAN DRAW THAT MEANS I CAN MAKE THIS!!!!

me quede esperando que se movieran... cuando tenia 5 hasta los 13 años hacia juguetes en madera, pero nada comparados con tu trabajo. de igual forma te doy 11 de 10, tienes mis respeto.

Wow what an artist

Amazing jest amazing that is cool

who needs electronic games and plastic toys? These can keep anyone entertained for hours.

So beautiful .3.

I believe you are a genious!!! where can a person learn to make such wonderful art

wonderful! They look amazing! and it was fun to watch! :3

Amazing!

that is really cool *likes video*

So cool!

OMG THIS IS SOOOOOOO AWSOME ITS MORE THAN 20% AND I LOVE THIS IT SOOOOO AWESOEM EEEEE

*I* *MUST* *HAVE* *THEM* *ALL!!!!!*

In the past few months I've joined the herd and I must say that I keep coming across fellow members who have incredible talents - video, music, art, writing. This is one of the more if not most impressive displays of pure dedication and talent yet. I assume you are a big fan of the show. I'm working on a story with the characters and I have never been so driven creatively in my life. It's a complete story and will probably be over 100 pages long. What is it? Can somepony tell me?

I WANT ONE NOW!!!

I am truly saddened by the fact that i was unaware of, and not present for this auction.

your work is wonderful, I love their robots, want more work to be displayed elaborate whatever wood shelves, toys etc your work is wonderful what kind of wood used and used paint to make them so brightly colors? congratulations

Amazing work my dear fellow...person...who ever you are. You have much talent in your digits. And I loved the music. But I have one query ! Why didn't we get to see them in action ? Isn't that the point ? Keep up the good work.

Man it's awesome to see a making-of video of them! You're so good at doing what you do! :) I just have one question: do sanding sealer and primer work on most clay materials?

Amazing

what!! I thought the figures were 3D printed! this is amazing!!

How do you know where each string goes to make them do what you want them to do! oh my god this is just so amazing

Hola hay mucho talento y mucha creatividad les felicito

I love this video :)

These are incredible! I can't even imagine the patience and skill that these pieces require. How long does it take you to make them? I've read in the descriptions of your videos that each one takes over one hundred hours, but how do you spread the hours out? Do you do five hours a day and make one per month, or do you spread it out a lot more?

You, sir, are truly amazing. c:

I wish I could do this! its amazing what humans can do, isn't it?

simply amazing! beautiful craftsmanship! is there a reason for doing it by hand as oppose to using a cnc router? or thinner wood and using a laser cutter?

That is so cool

I like how people in the comments are complaining about them not being in action at the end, but don't you know how much work that takes this person is probably tired from all the work they've been doing and you want them to do more? I know all you have to do is spin and you're all done, but give this person a break

Morisato54 - you are a genius!!!!

It's like the process of making GIF but in the 18th century. Or like making a GIF but in 3D mode. I sire dont have the skills instead i throw money, i throw my soul to you :D

This is awesome! Truly amazing work~ I'd really love to see more making-of videos from you! I also have a question; how many layers of color paint did you use?

Seems a little motion of the items would be fitting here :)

Great woodwork! Beautiful intricacy... Yet, for the brass (I'm guessing it was brass?) or Applebloom's hula hoop what type of solder did you use? Silver? Or Tin?

Dude your talented

can i buy one from u these r just sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo AMAZING!

Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute

Why didn't we see it move? Doesn't it work??

So, I'm wondering how you figure out the mechanisms for each automata. How do you make the image in your head work in real life? (sorry, i know nothing about automata and i'm super curious how you go about making one)

Спасибо 😊

you should make one where celestia puts her wing over twilight or lunas back

YOU DID MAKE THESE

me encanto

wow!!

have you noticed that Apple bloom's eyes look in different directions? :D

THATS FUNY

BRONYS... Y U NO MAKE THIS GUY FAMOUS RU-vidR

wow!

it's a wonderful jobs o.o

Why didn't you show them actually working? I waited the entire time to see them in action. Strange. Beautiful pieces though. Nice work. Very lifelike.

真有創意呢~

You have to wonder if the paint would brush off if used enough

You should cover them with fabric or something to make it a bit more soft to the touch

Wow eres fabuloso

Don't forget the blood sacrifice. Very cute. :-) Yes, I was being sarcastic and sincere.

Тут есть видио как эти механизмы работают? There is a video how these mechanisms work?

Why is sweetie literally me every morning?

These things should be sold around 500 dollars each.

why would you make a video and not show them move???? Could you post a link here to any video showing it moving?

that song is my ballet song

id buy it all @-@

Posted my birthday

wow!!! so impressive. how long did it take u to make that????

Wow your great at that do u sell them?

Cool

I am lost in myself

How long does it take u to make these????!!??!!???

Show us how they work man!!!!!

They only can stay like that?

its funny i always end up watching something pony related when I watch youtube

Ever thought of making the ponies out of clay? Would it work?

and a derpy with bubbles

E super tare cu cît ai vinde una?

Wow

If you have the time can u do Trixe

How long do these typically take?

you should make a celestia and luna one as well as a discord
