making wire gears - Arthur Ganson

The wire-bending tool was designed to simplify and standardize the bending process.  Each new gear is catalogued and the tool settings are recorded.  Thus, it is easy to duplicate or modify any wire gear.  The second tool is a simple device for centering the gear and spot-welding the spokes.

Tool and jig making has always been an integral and joyful part of my sculpture making process.
