Italian sculptor Amedeo Capelli carves every piece of his wooden automata toys, from the character sculptures to the gears that make them move. The scenes are simple, but each character feels like they are alive. Even the monsters are cute! I believe I have found my favorite. In another video, Capelli shows us how he makes them.
You can buy some of Capelli's creations at Etsy. Each is one of a kind, and he also does commissioned works. See more of his ongoing projects at Instagram and at YouTube. (via Laughing Squid)

Most of them are as simple as it gets, but still hours and hours of labor after you've got what and how figured out.
