See .avi in IVCF, warning - size is 10 megs.
Thought someone would enjoy a little levity for the holidays. This
started as the constraints tutorial on Adsk web site. It worked so
well I decided to keep adding till IV broke. It's not surprising I
ended up with something that looked like a stamping press, complete
with feeder, de-reeler and oil spray. Then I decided to get cute and
add a sailboat to the oil reservoir... that's when it turned into a
toy. No better way to learn than repetition, and I replicated. The
first 5 hours everything was breaking on every move. After I figured
it out, I couldn't believe how easy and solid it was. It's all stock
constraints driven by the blue crank gear. No equations or macros. IV
lasted longer than I did, but it got pretty slow to work with. I'm
thinking IV would be very popular if it sold for $59.00 and was called
Inventor Tycoon. )>

Kudos that was great.

my favorite part is the girl on the trampoline, how did you constrain her chest?

That's great!! Want me to put it on my site?

Excellent! ... Don't think I'd want to crank that saw all day though!

Excellent.

My son would enjoy the whale jumping out of the oil.

Really interesting... I am amazed how it would animate all at the same
time...

Good job...
