How to Make and Move eyes for Automata.

My method for making eyes from wood and how I make them move in my automata.
Moving eyes and mouthes can add an element of emotion to a piece that is other wise difficult to achieve with a lump of wood. I use them a lot in my larger automata.
The automaton shown in the video is "My Beautiful Hair" which is available to order in my web shop.
If you are just starting out in automata making, I offer a plan on my web site for an automaton that you can make with simple tools.
