" summary

An Instagram project called tinker Friday documents weekly teardowns turned into stop‑motion using a phone and learned frame rates; a mechanical black timer reveals 156 parts; a makeshift multiplane glass rig sits on a living‑room table; simple automata are built from scrap (an angel that attempts to fly, a mini wacky‑waving arm flailing man) and some pieces win commissions (BBC Arabic IKEA Miranda) and teaching gigs at the German University in Cairo.
