Thanks for the great ideas! I’ve gone a more rudimentary, unwieldy, and not-so-artistic route but am mostly satisfied with it, though it’s a bit unwieldy.
I’ve used one of the cardboard boxes the Wild Gears ship in and used putty to adhere the gears to the inside of the box, arranged by size and labeled. I can fit the Full, Compact, and Strange Shapes gear sets on the large panel of the box and one of the two side flaps (except for the large gear set frames).
I like to be able to see everything at a glance, particularly when creating designs using a wheel within a wheel. That way I can see the size of the gear cutouts within the larger wheels. Keep the good ideas coming!
Hi Brian. There is no instruction book for Wild Gears. Using Wild Gears is a process of discovery, of experimentation. It isn’t a mass-produced product like Spirograph. It’s for people who wish to explore possibilities and come up with their own discoveries. You can learn a lot from YouTube videos – not just mine; there are other people making Wild Gears videos.
Where can you get pattern instructions book from in the UK
