For a long time I had this drawing in my sketchbook of a large head with movable eyes, mouth, etc., that is "powered" by weights. This is the largest face I've carved to date. During final assembly, after all carving, mechanisms and painting were finished, I thought I might have a problem with the weights because I didn't have a governor. I ran out of room for an internal governor, so I decided to make it crank operated instead, I think it turned out much better this way because the operator can regulate the speed.
