How does he do that?

Everybody asks Haint "How do you do that?"

This picture shows the frame that will hold the finished piece. 

The second unfinished half is stored in the frame while he works on the first half that has been shown on the blog.

Haint is constructing the individual boxes.

People ask him if he has a plan when he starts.

Haint says that he doesn't have a plan or an idea of what it will look like when it is finished.

He has an idea of the feel and the message but not the design.

He just starts with a design in one corner and lets it flow from there.

This photo shows the construction of the gears that are used throughout the piece.

Haint usually works on this project about 5 - 6 hours a day.
