This project is a small mechanical fisherman designed to bring motion to a small scene. Turning the input gear drives a second gear, which then moves a linkage connected to the fisherman. This creates a smooth, repeating motion where the rod moves up and down, giving the appearance of reeling in a fish.
The design focuses on combining basic mechanical elements: gears and linkages to create a reeling movement. It also highlights how simple components can be arranged in a compact design to produce coordinated, lifelike motion.
Machined using a manual and CNC lathe along with a drill press and mill.
A simple project to make the home emptying station bag reusable rather than needing to purchase the bags.
