My Grandfather used to carve them out of wood.

The old man made something similar though not some many captured cubes with a chainsaw one time.

Around here, the old test peices I've seen have been tiny scale, working, steam engines. Mosly of brass. (easy cutting)

Very interesting. I've made wood carvings similar, though not as complex.
Looks like they were a series of counter bores, then the corners are cut clear with a die grinder, or slitting saw, and buffed to hide the change in surface
