All Info and Instructions for "Gears of Creation"

All the files for this project can be made with plywood, like the Easel project above, but my images of my finished product was done using aluminum sheet, MDF, Plywood, and HDPE from Inventables materials. If you would like to create it as I did, and of course you could change out their logo for your own, use the Easel file links below.
