Thanks for replying. I get the mechanics of it, but the designs don’t look the same as the ones in the book. If this allowed pictures I’d show you what I mean.

It does take practice. Learn to follow the lead of the gears. To not press too hard. At first, don’t worry about the book; just pick any wheel and ring and work on drawing a complete pattern successfully.

I can’t get the designs I’m making to look like the ones in the book, no matter how carefully I follow directions they come out completely different. I must be doing something obviously wrong.

No a rose engine doesn’t have gears. It had rosettes that make a pattern. Aaron was nice enough to program a 1.000 inch hole in the middle of some of the gears. So they mount on the machine. I have been making patterns all day. I have sent photos of how this works. One can go to YouTube and search Rose Engine lesson 28. I show how used Spyrograph gears.

I think I found what you’re looking for. This online app, which is also downloadable, allows you to set any parameter you want. It is not restricted to just the Spirograph gears like most other apps are:

A rose engine has its own gears already right? How do you integrate external plastic gears?
