I really love Mr Spooner's work, I've seen a couple of longer length documentaries of him, including your own, and it just makes me wish to meet him. He reminds me of Terry Pratchett in many ways.

I love his work too. I saw some examples at an automata exhibition in London once. Included a number of his “Anubis” characters.

He’s special. I’m so glad to have discovered him. 😍

First saw your work at The AVM in Baltimore. If I weren't so lazy you would be a great inspiration to me. Wishing you longevity!

I love this man and his work. What a wonderful soul. Really inspiring too. Hope I turn out something similar one day

Mr Spooner, you, your art, made me smile and laugh, thank you!

One of my favourite places to visit as a child was the Cabernet Mechanical Theatre in Covent Garden in the early 1980s. Loved the interactive and humorous machines. Thank you, Paul for bringing wonder and joy to my child brain! *Spot my spoonerism 🤪

CABARET. I think you'll find that Cabernet is a type of grape and wine.

I really like his work, full of creativity and humor!

Beautiful workshop. Very beautiful pieces.

wow I saw Paul Spoons work at the covent garden mechanical theatre in the 80s - was alway a joyful place to visit and see Anubis making jokes!! wonderful to know you are still at it!! hooray 🎉

You are a success Paul. Your work made me laugh. It's also inspired me to make automata of my own. Thanks for that. All the best from Panama.

Incredible work!!! ❤️

Briliant, funny, and wonderful. Thank you.

I had seen your exhibition at TCDC Bangkok, Thailand. It is amazing and funny.

I really like your way of thinking and that there is a funny side in almost everything..😁💪🏽🇩🇰 I really love your work..🙏🏽

If you like this guy - go see "Marvelous Marvin's Mechanical Museum" in Michigan....you'll LOVE it. It's filled with this guy's work and tons of OLD arcade machines....

Thank You! Paul! The world needs more WHIMSY!! I Vote you to be elected First Minister of Whimsy, Colour, and Joy!,

Extraordinary beautiful

That's great , I'm not the only one that would get up in the middle of the night to draw an idea before I forget it . I like the 19th centuary , not all of it , but I like the idea that they were trying to build things to last a lifetime . I also have trouble using my phone and computer etc. I would tell you more but my arms hurt when useing them to mutch now , ... Cheers mate

The cat one is absolutely brilliant!!

Beautiful

I so love this channel ant automatons!

Just superb

"Poisoned Milk" ........................CLASSIC!

What a fantastic skill, how inspiring, I would love to be your apprentice , although Im 74 year old engineer.

Amazing

What a great imagination you have.

Back in the glory days of MTV (the 1980's) it seems like I had seen his work in a station ID short.

Fabuloso

Sir, you are a genius.

Delightful❤

GEWELDIG , WAT EEN LEUKE OBJECTS , Groetjes RINI.

Please how can this be so short ? I want a 5 hour documentary on him !!!!

Wonderful! He reminds me of Gepetto.

Wonderful work

1:08 actually yes auto means self . But mataa / menos means tortion or power in some way so it means that this thing creates it’s own tortion . Also you can think of the automata is the plural of automatic as you use it in English. It’s also means something happens right away .

Im in love

I find myself wondering if that beautiful house is the proceeds of his amazing craft?

PROPER !! 🙏 X

I am of the like of this!~

I have owned a couple of his automata, but lost them through divorce and moving house. Love this man. If he is ever single and looking for a mate, I will be first in line.

💗👏👏👏

Charming.

Der Mensch gefällt mir. Diese wunderbaren Kunstwerke zeugen von einer gehörigen Portion Humor.

I can smell the wood shavings in that shop.

Reminds me of Tim Hunkin.

Такими игрушками в старину на Руси детишки играли. Всё возвращается

He's the Picasso of the wooden bots

A modern day Gepetto

he lives in a very archetypical house, that's funny

I also enjoy drawing, and working, naked. A shame most of my house doesn't have heating though.. :/

Geppetto in real life !

Fathers pinocio !! Geppto

Paul looks a bit like, Floyd the barber from the Andy Griffith show.

If Mr. Spooner considers himself not to be clever ...most of us are doomed!

¿Qué tan cierta es la historia de Francine, la hija autómata del filósofo y matemático René Descartes? Les comparto el book tráiler de mi novel titulada "Francine Descartes: el eje roto del alma". Espero que les guste. kzread.info/dash/bejne/n6p5rsetntSwYbg.html

Gepeto.

TWO things - 1 - remember, that all likes and comments result in him getting more PR. 2 - Can he make a living doing this, or is he "rich" from something else?

Consider picking a better thumbnail, I almost lost out on this amazing guy to to the boring thumbnail.

Lovely chap, I don't have a filter either, so if you're easily offended go away in jerky movements, or come again when you've less time.

Mr spooner couldn’t you have the cat smelling dirty feet and collapsing? My cats were poisoned by my neighbour and died . It still haunts me.

The cat died... That's... hilarious... ?

This is stoopid. A waste of time. I looove it, and suddonly a lot my my "I just can't throw this away", has been transfomated into "missing parts". B)
