2010 The years of years

This time of a New Year always sets the stage for our creativity to come forth, and I am at this time busily involved in my latest wheel. The individual pieces for 8 major components is always a daunting task. To make sure that each piece is identical to the previous and not have any mistakes does test your discipline for sure. I make lots of progress over the New Years Holiday time and will keep on the journey as quickly as I can. There does seem to be a re-occuring theme for me and that is this......It is so simple that no one will want to pay me for it once they see how it works. In one of my early trials from Das Triumphant, I came so very close to a continuous movement that I have to come back to that test again. The simplicity of its movement and the overall feel was just felt right, but I was not able to see the other side. I believe now that first attempt was very very close, and by providing a little bit more space for the falling weight to do its work, the goal can be achieved. We are always hopeful that this is the one, and the death of hydrocarbons will finally be on the horizon
