Video: Adorable Model Engine Handcrafted From Cardboard

Check out this beautiful and whimsical model engine built entirely from cardboard, ice-cream sticks, and household scraps.

 

We don’t know very much about this Liberman guy at all, except that he’s a popular and prolific YouTuber with a clever knack for building miniature machines out of cardboard, styrofoam, and other common household materials. (Visit his channel here.) Like many true artists, he’s both enjoyable and deceptive to watch as he creates his little masterpieces. He makes his process look so simple and natural but as we follow along, we soon recognize that he’s only making it look easy. His maker videos are truly entertaining.

The build video for this little four-engine with a single overhead camshaft, made from cardboard, plastic tubes, ice-cream sticks, and other castoff domestic materials, has received more than four million hits. We hope you enjoy it as much we did.
