I agree with Andy's points. It is great to such enthusiasm for mechanical design. Practice makes perfect, and each design you do will help you improve as a designer.

Design is after-all, an iterative process...

My only criticism of your posting is that I am not a huge fan of teasers; there is no need to build hype for an off-season project. (There are also some teasers during the 6-weeks which I feel are inappropriate, but that is another discussion.)

Please post your entire mechanism so we can admire your work, but I would hope you can stay away from posting single ambiguous chunks of your design.

I'm not saying you need to stop posting teasers, I'm just saying they won't pique my interest like a full mechanism design would. I imagine others feel the same way.

Keep up the good work.

Regards,
John
