The mechanical component of this sculpture is made of stained wood that was laser cut and assembled into gears and pulleys, the fixtures are copper tubes which we believe are a nice combination for the wood we acquired in terms of texture and color. The assembly also includes weights that were machined in our shop, various length screws, bolts, nuts and washers along with two ball bearings used to rotate the main gears.
