These are various pieces that really don't fit the other categories.
Engine 00 Engine 33 Engine 57	Engines These three engines were more experiments. I wanted to do a different kind of kinetic piece and explore materials I don’t usually work with. These pieces contain among other things, tin cans, driftwood, scrap metal, old toy wheels, a vintage doorknob, old roller skate wheels and various found objects.
	"Mambo Italiano" 2002 15 x 13 x 4 Sometimes I build pieces without having a clear vision of their final outcome. Although this follows pretty close to my sketch, it turned into a kind of church-like building that reminded me of the type of architecture I've seen in Italy. The paintings reinforce the Italian feel.
	"Ovalesque Box" 2002 14 1/2 x 9 1/2 x 4 This is a decorative cabinet with fancy-shaped doors. The painting on the inside has a summer scene on the perimeter and a winter version in the center. This piece is currently available.
Movie See and hear the movie 915K, MPG	"Music Box #2" 2001 10 1/2 x 22 x 5 1/2 I wanted to make the next music box have some of it's mechanism exposed. I used gears I found at a salvage yard and musical chimes from an old child's toy. I wanted this one to have more of a random sound, so I mounted the eight chimes on a rig that would turn and have three hammers that would strike them as they turned.
Movie See and hear the movie 921K, MPG	"Music Box #1" 2001 13 x 18 x 5 1/4 As this was my first attempt at using weights, I wanted to make a simple box that made "music" using bells, chimes, and other clanking materials. I had to figure out, and make from scratch, the governor, which slows down and regulates the speed of the dropping weight. Once all the mechanisms were figured out, I built up and painted the outside.
Movie See it in action! 919K, MPG	"Learn to Juggle" 2001 approx. 9 x 14 x 9 This idea came from my "Mr. Oddball Juggles" piece with the improvement that he can throw the ball from hand to hand. It's operated by striking the feet. Inside is a small, carved book with the title "Learn to Juggle" on the cover.
	"Love Box" 2001 12 x 14 x 6 This one was done around Valentines Day. It's a souped up version of a similar piece I gave Paula about 10 years ago. There's a lovely painting of a sunset inside, and the box has three doors that open in opposite directions: a small door inside the heart opens one way, the heart opens the other way and the black frame part opens the same way the small door does.
	"Tree Box" 1999 12 x 16 x 6 Like a lot of my first attempts, I made this box for myself. I put a double-opening door on it; the smaller door, which is hinged on the larger, reveals a small compartment inside and the large door opens to reveal the whole inside. The scenery was painted to seamlessly match, no matter how you look at it.
