The Maker
Chris C. Pontius
Driven by a passion to create unique artist concepts, I've enjoyed the challenge of engineering and building working mechanical models of our flat earth realm. Each piece fuses fine woodworking with custom machined brass tubing, Delrin plastic, gears, motors, tiny led lights and electronics creating heirloom-quality instruments that celebrate precision and esoteric art. From initial concepts to each finished piece I single-handedly construct every model in my Texas workshop.
That's me on the left with David Gordon in 2019 working on the new "PG" map used in all the models.
