For the first time, the audience met the hero in the second half of the 50s of the XX century. The writer and Writer Nina Benashvili came up with an original fairy tale character consisting of parts of a metal designer. Nina Ivanovna itself was professionally engaged in journalism, collaborated with the magazine "Technique - Youth". The world of engineering solutions was interested in a woman.

Visual image of the existing description created the artist Vakhtang Bakhtadze. In 1957, the first cartoon called the "Adventures of Samodelkin", released by the animation studio Georgia-film. And soon the second animation film, where an unusual character appeared, received a diploma at the International Film Festival in San Francisco in 1960. After the release of several cartoons, the character gained popularity.
Then the publishers of the magazine "Cheerful Pictures" decided to add a hero collected from the details of the designer to other characters, "cheerful little men." For this, the usual image of the hero from Georgian animated tapes was somewhat changed. Anatoly Sazonov became an artist who transformed the established appearance of the character. In 1958, a "story of an unfamiliar man" came out in the journal, which revealed the mystery as the "club of merry men" received a new participant. The author of the text to the work was given by Nina Benashvili.
Along with the preparation of texts about Samodelkin for the children's magazine, the writer created several books about him. Late the editor of the magazine, Ivan Semenov appealed to the writer Yury Druzhkov (Postnikov) with a proposal to create a fabulous book about the life of a robot designer. The idea came to the author, and in 1964 his essay of the "Adventures of Pencil and Samodelkin" was published.
Illustrations for the publication created the editor of the "funny pictures". The second book "Magic School of Pencil and Samodelkin" was published in 20 years, in 1984. This time the publication was illustrated by the popular children's artist Viktor Chizhikov. At the beginning of the XXI century, the continuation of the series about the adventures of two friends came up with the son of the writer, Valentin Postnikov. Fairy tale books were published, telling about how the characters hit the island of Pirates, to the island, where gigantic insects lived, and even found themselves in space.
A detailed description of the appearance of the hero is represented in the book of 1964. It is reported that Samodelkin consisted of cogs and nuts that the hero had thin funny legs made from the springs. And in the book created by Nina Bakhtazd, it says that the character gathered himself when a magnet accidentally fell on the box with the designer. Initially, the editorial office was planned that the little man would be interested in a boyish audience. In journals, Samodelkin shared information about various tools, inventions and models. But later hero was connected to the "maiden" audience - along with him girls learned to create crafts.
