- This video is whirlwind tour through my frustrating but occasionally magical journey into a land of spiral art.
It's an unboxing, first impressions, deep dive, ideation, contemplation, reflection, inspection, perspective and retrospective.
I recorded my experience with my first Spirograph set over a week. Understanding it was pretty easy but getting it to behave was another beast entirely.

I don't use the putty to hold down my rings - I use a galvanized metal sheet under my paper, then hold down the ring with neodymium magnets - It also holds down the paper to keep it from moving around - So much easier to remove the ring when finished - Thanks for taking the time to show this
i got my super spirograph set for christmas of 1971 when i was 10. it was the most difficult and frustrating gift i ever loved. i got another one in 2011 for my birthday. i was much more adept at using it at 50 than i when i was 10. my set used small push pins to hold the paper to a cardboard backing pad. after much experimentation i found the pentel rsvp pens worked out the best because the ink flowed well but dried quickly enough not to smear.
Yesssss! Got mine at Goodwill for 3 bucks! Score of a lifetime. Lol. Thanks for the indepth video! Mine didn't have instructions 😬.
I loved listening to you struggle in the background as i was struggling myself while trying it out. Because i heard you go through the same struggle it kept me going. Happy little accidets. Your voice was very soothing to listen to and music is very relaxing compared to what we were doing 😄😄
Waauw....in think when I was young 3 or so were like already 🥳
Learn to roll the gear with your thumb while you simply hold the pen in the desired hole with your other hand. When you use the pen to drive the gear, you pretty much guarantee that you're going to slip teeth along the way. This is especially important when rolling the gear around the outside of a ring, rack, or track. To put it another way, use the gear to drive the pen, not the other way around.
this is what tripped me up as a kid. thanks for the tip.
So many good memories!
I had a set when I was a kid that came with tiny pins so you wouldn't go off the track. MAN those were handy! Great vid, thanks for the walkthrough!
WOW! This so COOL!
As you say in your description, "Understanding it was pretty easy but getting it to behave was another beast entirely." Maybe that's why they give you all that paper.
It’s soo beautiful👏👏👏👍👍
you sparked something life changing in me. sounds weird but you're an artist so I know you know what I'm referring to. thank you
Thanks for this video!
These were the kinds of toys I enjoyed.
This is entertainment I didn't know I needed
I need a valium after watching you attempt to do this without reading the directions. Very stressful. Spirograph is fun; you made it a mental health issue! LOL!
Yes it's supposed to be fun as well as therapeutic. Please stop with the calculations. Who cares how many times you go around. As long as your design is pleasing to look at in the end and you have a feeling that you have achieved something in the end. Jeez.
Sorry, I keep thinking of more tips. I've found that the best paper is A3 printer paper of at least 120 gsm (if you're doing Super designs using felt fineliners). Otherwise, ordinary printer paper is fine, and cheap.
The problem with the die cast gears is not being able to see the pattern you're creating. I found this when I first left the paper on the Wild Gears: it was so annoying that I removed it. It's important (to me) to see what's happening underneath the gear.
Holding the pen closer to the top (or at the top) seems to help a little better. (I’m left handed too).
Nice!
I'm so getting one myself! omg
Gracias por ese video...espero conseguirlo.
Perhaps you could turn the paper instead of the rings ?
How cool
So I noticed the holes are tapered, flip the wheel upside down and it won't slide up the pen tip
Well well well...
U made it interesting!
All I was looking into the 3 different Spirograph boxes! I don't think I want to pay all boxes! Which one was the best?
I use map pins, that's what the small holes are for which goes into a cork sheet underneath
Mix colors !
If you put the putty on the joins themselves,they don't fall apart as easily.
It's too bad they aren't as well made today as the originals were. On my original 75 pc set(yes,I still have it,lol)all the pieces are thicker,so bend,less. My British original set also came with a few heavy metal/wood rings w/light magnets in them,that aren't strong enough to stop the gears but do help you avoid the "skipping" problems, which I ADORE,I wish they'd made all of them like that !
I don't know it it was a prototype design or limited release,but i've only ever seen 1 other set like it :)
this can be a great child gift together with colored pens instead of coloring books
If you get truly fed up with traditional spirograph, try the spirograph Cyclex, it's easier to use and can create amazing layered patterns. Maybe buy some Wild Gears (they are very expensive, but worth every penny).
Thanks for all the tips. I'll definitely keep all this in mind.
What is that paint you're using at the end?
I call the points on Spirographs appendages. Points sounds less like I’m talking about some sort of animal, so I might use that.
Couldn't find you on Instagram. Link didn't work.
I'm from India 🇮🇳
how can i buy it
52 is the best wheel.
Hello! Can you say the instructions for de model in 48:30 please? I have one similar un my spirograph instruction book but I do it bad!
Hi Fofuface, it's a bit hard to describe so tomorrow I'll put up a video showing how it works.
Let me take a shot at describing it anyway. I used the 150/105 ring and the 63 disk. That gives you a five-point spiral.
You pick a spot to line up the disk so that the pen starts as close to the ring as possible. There're little guidelines on the disk to help but its hard to see them in the video. If you have a set you should be able to find them.
Using that spot (mine was right at the top) you make a spiral using the number 1 hole in the disk. Then you start again using the number 2 and you align it starting from the top again except this time you go one tooth to the right of the last place you started. After that spiral you do the number 3 hole and line it up again one tooth to the right of where you did the number 2. You repeat that for the number 4 hole, moving right again. You can keep going if you want.
Hopefully this gets you going and I'll have a video that shows it clearly tomorrow.
I've uploaded the video. The design you asked about can be seen 5:20 in the new video here: th-cam.com/video/PBwlBoImxBg/w-d-xo.htmlm20s It may help to watch the whole thing to understand what I'm talking about.
he paints good go to 31:29
It's a bit difficult. I don't like drawings with holes on the outside😢😢
👏🌟✔💟✌👍📈
Damn Gear Heads!!! LOL
How areyou able to post an hour long video with music when it takes me over an hoir just to post a 4 minute video!!!!!! Someone needs to post a tutorial on how to post looooong videos!
Not a good task for those who have poor frustration tolerance. Like, not being able to count the pieces.
I know this is an old comment but I just saw it and thought it was interesting.
I don't think frustration tolerance is black and white like this. There are plenty of hobbies and tasks which I find somewhat frustrating but don't have any issue doing them all day. I think a large component of "frustration tolerance" is the amount of reward you get as a whole from the activity. So, for me, I think I found spirographs less rewarding than the frustration I experienced justified. So, instead I spend my time doing things I enjoy more.
As for the pieces, I think I remembered that it said on the box as I was counting and didn't think it was worth the time. So, basically the same thing.

In case you haven't seen it, I just watched this: th-cam.com/video/9SFupvraS5Y/w-d-xo.html
Hello, You're not really good with the Spirograph ... it's not complicated ... I think that for lefties you have to turn anti-clockwise ... And above all, hold his pencil vertically !!! the pencil must be perpendicular to the notched wheel in which the tip of the pencil is positioned. And then the best are the stabilo Felt tip pen fine point
I was looking for fun, not numbers! Not good on numbers!
Please no numbers!
this is not a hate comment but i feel like this is a math tutorial
