In a recent 30-day project artist Federico Tobon, a wood-carving artist from Los Angeles decided to challenge himself and build 30 miniature moving sculptures that would come to life upon touch. They depict different animals and objects in a cute, cartoonish style, and each of these miniature automatons starts moving when you crank it up! Tobon has several other fun and creative projects on his Website and Instagram, so take a look at those to see some of his other works.

Admire all 30 of these hand-cranked minis in the video at the end of this article.
