Probably get down 4 or five gears down a column, or 8 or 10 gears deep into the sequence.

I’d go for a stack of 100 gears - it’s the only way to make it really impressive and tamper proof.

Well, I’m sure I would have the patience to turn the first gear long enough to move a gear 10-12 down the line, but moving a gear directly? Maybe 4-5, I’m not sure of the strength involved….

I think, just with how satisfying it looks, I would just keep going till I get all of them!

I’ve built a few Lego gear stacks in my time. I’m going to say 7, maaaaybe 8, but beyond that you’re at 1:256 even assuming no resistance, which is A LOT!

I mean how low can you go?

Id find gears fascinating how they work and would love one of these to fidget with!

I would absolutely work at this until I got the bottom gear all the way around — it’s about the only fidget toy I could consider carrying/fidgeting with (at least until it was all the way around at least once).

It’s is all about you mind set and the ability to focus on this unbelievable work of art I believe I could work myself down to the 9th gear but the enjoyment of just using it I believe I could do all the gears just a little patience and hand strength
