    thank you so much for this. i had the 1980s set and am looking to get one again as an adult. when i was a kid it always confused me how to make anything coherent so i just gave up and played with other kits instead. but my creative juices are flowing and youtube to the rescue.

    This was SUPER helpful! I started messing around with a Spirograph recently and wondered about layering designs and this was the perfect help! Love the math part too! I feel like I’m grasping it more now than just messing around in bafflement 🙃

    This is very eye opening. My 'rents gave me a lot of secondhand toys when I was a kid, and I ended up with just the gears and no base. Of course I never figured out how to make the funky shapes.

    If you made a spread sheet with the most common, why not write a q&d spread sheet formula to just calculate it? You could even plug in hole location and start/stop location. Let me know if you want me to write it for you. Love the channel!

    The splits may be caused by very wet ink. Maybe his suggestion of ball point pens would be better. 🤷‍♀️. I think he is using poster putty to hold the rings in place.
