Wild Gears: Wheel Within a Wheel

[@jacksonthorn206]

When the gear became detached from the paper it made me jump because the beginning was so smooth and seamless 😂😂 I recently purchased the full page gear set and cannot wait to try these designs thank you and keep it up

[@BruceMyers-f3p]

What's the price of it

[@Costa_del_Artlepool]

Haven't seen Spirograph in a looong time. It brings back the 8 year old me, and you just became his favourite person.

[@Spirographicart]

Ha! Thanks, that encourages me to make more videos.

[@GeminiDolly52951]

Surprise !!! Look at that design - would have never thought it would make that - Cool design. I use the steel sheets under my paper and hold that down with the earth magnets, or neodymium as they are also know, instead of using the putty. Another thing you might be interested in - my gears were getting really ugly looking with all the ink and marker on them - so I cleaned them off with rubbing alcohol - works like a charm - and now my gears are all new looking again. I love the wild gears. Thanks for taking the time to show these videos.

[@jedwards1211]

Very cool! Maybe you could also tack the smallest gear down and draw with a hole in the outermost ring

[@angelarce8160]

You are so good at this! You can even continue even after a mistake. Very impressive!

[@Spirographicart]

Ha ha! Well there are some attempts that I won't show! (But if my goal is to encourage people, I shouldn't be too perfect!)

[@GiselleOMG1]

wow i think just think that the patterns we can make with circles are so beautiful.

[@RelaxSleepSoothingSounds-vj7lr]

I'm getting into spirograph but I can't find any wild gears or anything on Amazon or anywhere. Could you possibly tell me where to purchase an item like this? I'd appreciate it very much

[@nattyw495]

Enjoyed video, have you bought multi sets of these wheels?

[@Spirographicart]

Yes, I have multiple sets, and I've given up on keeping them separate. I've collected all the under-30 gears in one container, all the 80-something gears in another, etc.

[@shamza286]

So when will there be a wheel within a wheel within a wheel?

[@empanada65]

With the first wheel the pattern had seven points but when you make the wheel half the size, you doubled the points and ended up with a 14 point pattern.

[@rionna8609]

More of the wild gears, please!

[@jarijansma2207]

BEAUTIFUL

[@Spirographicart]

"As above, so below." That must have something to do with why we find them so fascinating. Perhaps they unlock the mind. Thanks for your comment.

[@jarijansma2207]

@@Spirographicart yes

[@Spirographicart]

@@jarijansma2207 I'd never heard of it (I'm from a different generation and possibly country, not UK) so looked it up. Wow, that's another world in itself. Even in the Wikipedia article, I see the various influences that you mention. D&D is more popular in Canada. I'll ask my 20-year-old son if he has heard of Warhammer.

[@MichelJosephCardin]

What's the technical term or title or name for that large ring gear that has teeth on both edges?

[@Spirographicart]

Spirograph has always called it a "ring".

[@chatgirlai]

Beautiful! What do you do with your designs when complete? I would like to make greeting cards. And also frame some of the larger designs.

[@Spirographicart]

See my website for ideas (link in the description, or this page: spirographicart.com/category/use-your-designs/). Greeting cards are a very good thing, and you can buy pre-cut and scored paper.

[@muskndusk]

I'm so looking forward to your video about the compact set. (This is Catherine from spirographicart.com)

[@teriwatson2607]

What set are you using here please?

[@jman3254]

This vid proves what always frustrated me. You get all excited about a really cool design from a complicated setup and the dang thang buckles on ya. ARGGGG! That's why I never used my spirograph much. Maybe I should have hung in there with it and it woulda gotten better, but I never did.

[@kaylasteger2248]

The more you do it, the faster and easier it gets. I have made over 300 spirographs of all different one.

[@missmoscarpone]

Ooh lala! C'est magnifique 😍😍

[@factidraw]

I wish you would've put the small wheel within the larger wheel within the smaller ring with in the larger 180 ring within an even bigger ring🤣

[@BruceMyers-f3p]

What's tyne price on the set

[@AllenBrosowsky]

I can't get my head around this concept. How does the small wheel on the inside make a single line forming a pattern, when at any given point it can draw it's own 360 pattern?

[@danceswithstone]

It is the Devil's work.

[@bestamerica]

' my favor old time spirograph toy... sadly american company dont make it their own spirograph toys... try adjustment setting the videocamera to stop blur focus

[@Spirographicart]

I figured out the need to stop the autofocus beforehand from doing these videos. My later videos are better in that regard.

[@muskndusk]

After a quick google, Wild Gears don't seem to be readily available.

[@Spirographicart]

+muskndusk They're laser-cut on demand from Ponoko. Details are in the sidebar at this link: spirographicart.com/wild-gears-spirograph-grownups/

[@muskndusk]

Now that I'm in a position to buy these, the UK to US exchange rate is against me! Oh well, I have lots of Spirograph sets.

[@HeatherHolm]

Thank Brexit for that, I suppose. It's sure to change sometime.

[@muskndusk]

I've finally ordered the full page set as a Christmas present to myself :)

[@Spirographicart]

Nice Christmas present!

[@dyanarahman2944]

Its so cool😍

[@harrisborgmann1764]

Last year I lost the national spirograph competition. I was disqualified because the judges claimed that I altered wheel#162

[@Alinor24]

Harris Borgmann Why didn't they just compare it to a usual wheel#162 and see that your's wasn't altered? :(

[@squip5394]

[@stefos6431]

Hi, I'm confused......It looks like you're using Spirograph gears and not Wild Gears? Am I wrong?

[@Spirographicart]

Definitely Wild Gears. And the two are not compatible.

[@stefos6431]

@@Spirographicart Thank you!

OMG....A MEASING. I LOVE IT❤💟😍🌈

[@JDeF.39]

This is NOT the original Spirograph, as the one originally created years ago had pins to hold the wheels in place to a sturdy cardboard; this kit uses silly putty, which is a poor substitute. I would NOT advise buying this toy; it is a cheap imitation of the original.

[@Spirographicart]

With respect, this is not Spirograph at all. You're thinking of the new Spirograph by Kahootz Toys which came to the market in 2013. I wrote an in-depth review comparing it to the original Spirograph of the 60s and 70s (spirographicart.com/2013/11/18/compare-new-spirograph-deluxe-super-spirograph/). I rather prefer the putty to the pins in most situations, actually, but you can read about that on my website. The product in this video however is not a cheap imitation of anything. It is actually rather expensive, compared to Spirograph. It is laser cut on demand from acrylic sheets - a completely different manufacturing process. I call it "Spirograph for Grownups", and you can read about it here: spirographicart.com/wild-gears-spirograph-grownups/.
