The Wooden Shrimp Chef

【Wood Automata】A tiny wooden world that comes to life with a single turn✨ This video showcases the work of Amedeo Capelli, an artist who creates mechanical wooden sculptures known as Wood Automata. A shrimp saws a board, chops vegetables, stir-fries them in a pan, and when the lid opens, the dim sum begins to dance as if alive. Every movement is crafted without a single nail— powered only by gears, cams, and levers designed by Capelli’s hands to tell charming little stories. ＊This content introduces the Wood Automata technique ＊Includes educational explanation of hand-crank mechanisms and wooden engineering ＊Provides insight into kinetic art and handmade mechanical systems
