Industrial Gears Coffee Table - Completed!


This is the new Gears Table by renowned Los Angeles sculptor Bruce Gray. It is made from 35 industrial gears in steel, brass, and stainless steel.   It is 16 1/2" tall with a 2 ft x 4 ft piece of 1/2" thick glass for the top.  This stunning and unique coffee table was commissioned, so it is not available, but Bruce will be happy to make you your own Gears Table for $6000.

Bruce says that  "It was quite a challenge keeping all the gears on the proper vertical or horizontal plane during the welding process, especially since the gears have almost completely been welded from the underside only, to give it the impression that the gears may actually move and function somehow.  This is one of my favorite creations I have ever done. I was expecting to have to do some adjustments to get it perfectly level on all 4 points for the glass, but to my surprise it was exactly right on.  I think that anyone who welds and does complex metal fabrication can appreciate that."

Look What I Made!

This is a table I made out of some serious industrial gears for my friend Phil.  It will have a glass top.  Come see it at my sculpture studio during the Brewery Artwalk this weekend.

Artwalk Next Weekend!!!

Hello Earthlings!

Next weekend, April 27th and 28th is the Brewery Artwalk!  Over 100 artist studios will be open from 11-6 both days.

Come see my new coffee table made from heavy industrial gears (in  progress) and several new Magnachrome prints like the one below.  If you have ever wanted to see my studio and my work, this is your chance!  We are located at The Brewery which is at the intersection of N Main St and Moulton St in downtown LA just off the 5 Fwy.  Parking is free.

I hope to see your smiling faces there!

Bruce Gray

Say "Hello" to my little project!

Say hello to my little project!  This is a really cool one. I am making a custom metal logo for the movie Scarface for Universal Pictures.  Photos coming soon.  

Oddly enough I had a dream that Al Pacino wanted to buy my shark and angry dog tables the night before this commission happened.  Trippy!
