Assembly was a little challenging but doable. I’m enjoying the painting process adding a few of my own variations. They don’t send glue or paints with the kit.

Meet the Maker

Hello, I’m Shasa Bolton, the designer and maker behind Contraption Cart. I’m a mechanical engineer with a passion for mechanisms, craftsmanship, and objects that spark curiosity.

In my shop you’ll find a collection of mechanical creations including automata, puzzle boxes, magic tricks, and kinetic toys. Many designs are available either as fully assembled pieces, DIY kits, or digital downloads, allowing you to experience the joy of building the mechanism yourself.

Alongside my own designs, I take on commissioned work in mechanical sculpture, animatronics, and product design. Whether it’s a unique display piece, an interactive installation, or a custom mechanism, I enjoy turning ideas into working creations. You can see examples of my past projects on my website www.ContraptionCart.com
