Mechanisms 3

Here is what I've been working on the last day... I've spent time using bass wood components to create the drawing machine; so far the wood is holding the forms better without bending and wear like the paper. I still have to deal with the friction of the wood against itself. The final combo machine will come and will involve sliding pieces which interact with another machine. By using the straight line that the one machine follows to draw the same line will operate the upright second machine. Stay tuned.

This is the bass wood version of the mechanism for drawing the conchoid of sleuss.

Here are the begining components of the bass wood model.
