When he says that the frustration makes the joy he gets when it's finished, so much better.
Yes! I wish my friends and family understood this. When I'm working on a song or trying to create or learn something new, I like to gripe about it when I get frustrated with it. Friends and family will say, -Oh my gosh! Will you just take a break already? -
No, I may be super frustrated now, but when I finally get it worked out, my satisfaction is going to be huge. -

I wonder how some narrators get the job. This lady not only speaks far too quickly, but nearly every sentence starts out at a high squawk and at the end descends into a kind of frog-like croak. She really spoiled my enjoyment of this otherwise fine video.

I'm a creative guy, painter, Singer/Songwriter, hand drummer. I think about sculptures like this often. A friend went to restaurant in Chicago many years ago
where all of the walls were moving. electrically driven industrial gears and pulleys.

If the speed at which the narrator speaks was slower the video would have been more enjoyable to me. Listen to the
difference in cadence between David and the narrator. Just sayin.

I was really amazed by the math and engineering you designed.
It is a beautiful modern novelty. Some of your sculptures can be really technologically advanced buildings.

I can tell you there is perpetual energy fact. In your lifetime it will never run out. Gravity is perpetual. It is free energy if you understand how to harness it.

Now I am 65. I know little bit watch machinisam 45 years ago I was thinking why old people ( kings ) made a supper FAN out of kinetic energy or this method

I'm so fascinated with this that this is definetly something i'd have in my house. I'd make my entire house a maze or just some kind of mind bending house puzzle

Normally I dont understand feelings in art, I just like ot or dont like it, but man, these absolutely pass a feeling of relaxation, tension, flow etc

Omg please tell me David has an apprentice or is training someone in how to create these incredible pieces! They are magnificent!
