WonkaVator
As carpentry and metal working project, my teammates and I chose to create a working scale model of a mechanism which would reveal a Wonkavator for the show Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The device is comprised of an iris in the deck which rotates open to allow the Wonkavator to rise through the hole. The turn table is rigged to rotate automatically as it rises, and a torsion spring returns it to its base position when lowered.
