Spirograph Dislodge

I don't know the word to describe it so I will call the issue I have the Spirograph dislodge. I wanted to create a catalog of all the gear pieces and all the holes to know all the different effects you can make. I started out with my favourite gear piece, the one with 56 teeth in a 96 teeth bracket. 

I marked each hole starting from the middle going outwards. As you get closer to the edge of the gear piece, it gets harder it is to control. The gear piece tries to jump out of the bracket and sometimes it dislodges itself from the bracket. 

Every gear piece is like that, the outer holes are unstable and cause it to dislodge from the bracket and mess up the sketch, you need a super steady hand to control it.  I was wondering, couldn't they just put a flange on the outside edge to stop the gear piece from dislodging itself. I don't swear very often but I let out a few swear words. 

"Frack your garden you piece of shit", something like that. 

My Spirograph Set

I have a large collection of different coloured pencils and pens, some of them are not much use to me. I find it quite hard to work with gel pens, I also have different coloured pencils and find the yellow, pink and peach coloured ones to be quite useless. 

 I thought to myself for a while if there was a way to use the pens and pencils that I don't like. Then I thought about Spirograph, Spirograph is a drawing set that helps to make repeating geometric patterns. 

I bought a Spirograph set and practiced drawing some 'Spirograph shapes'. I hope to use the Spirograph set to enhance my sketches and make use of all the pens and pencils I don't find useful. 

I used the paper that comes with the spirograph set to practice and get comfortable with using the drawing gears. This set came with two nested gear sets and one rack gear piece.  

I will use the Spirograph set to enhance my sketches and use up the ink and wax of the colours pens and pencils that I don't like.
