Maker Faire Bay Area 2023
Kinetic Gear Art Wall
Home: California, United States
Inspired by a steampunk cafe in Romania, we made an 8×20 foot wall of 120 CNC cut hardwood involute spur gears which all turn slowly in mesh and dazzle the senses.

The gear wall/clock was inspired by a cafe in Romania called Enigma. As a whimsical touch, the hour and minute hands of the clock turn opposite directions like the hands on the clock above the haunted mansion at Disneyland.
