Del, the enbearded wooden cranked contraption maker (possibly the coolest goddamned maker we've ever featured here on Boing Boing!) returns with this marvellous machine. From Dug North, "This is a nice example of a mechanism that converts reciprocating motion into circular motion via a ratchet mechanism. The really cool thing about his particular design is that it does not matter which direction you turn the crank — the ratchet will always rotate in the same direction. Very clever."
