Starting September on a good track with a nice tight little ratchet piece. Each revolution of the crank indexes the ratchet 1/5 of a turn. On each turn of the small ratchet the large ratchet indexes 1/12 of a turn. Here’s some shots:

I’m still getting used to the new space and trying to figure out the best way to photograph work as it’s developed. One of the best things about the new studio, it’s at home and I’m able to have long conversations with Frida and Buttercup, a SATO dog and Siamese cat.
Congratulations on the new studio. I can’t enough of these mechanicals! It’s best to be with our pets (for us) isn’t it!
Thanks Shelly
The space is working out to be very compact with everything just at arms length. I’m looking forward to getting back to the blog and developing some new work.
