To add a different sketch or message, you must select it in the app

Lanky Doodler reproduces your sketch when you turn the knob. Choose a premade sketch or make your own with the cam generator app. Great for a personalized gift with the name of a loved one or a special message.

Inspired by the elaborate clockmakers writing automata from the 1700's, Lanky Doodler is my attempt to make one as simple as possible so that people could make them at home. Upon ordering, I will make and ship your cams to you.

If you want to make the parts yourself, the app gives you cam profiles for free. You will still need to purchase the Lanky Doodler kit or download the digital plans for a scroll saw or laser cutter. If you would like an assembled version then you can select that option at checkout.

I would love to see what you create. hashtag #lankydoodler to share your sketches.
