With the pulley nut the belt tension must be adjusted (should not be tightened too much or the motor will not be able to move it). The band is passed around the engine pulley. The engine assembly is placed in the profile. You should place the cart in the profile and make sure that its movement is continuous and smooth. The engine assembly is removed from the profile. Once the band is joined we must have a circle joined by the carriage. 
The motor pulley belt is released to make it easier to attach the belt to the carriage.The belt is measured and cut with reference to the carriage screw.The band must be passed around the engine pulley.The engine assembly is placed on the other side of the profile.
The pulley nut should be loosened as much as possible without removing it from the screw, this is done to give more space to the belt. The pulley assembly is placed in the profile until it meets the limit. The side of the belt that is closest to the cart must be attached, the teeth of the band should see inwards of the profile and the band is stored inside the profile. The band must be passed through the pulley. And for me as a new artist, turning a discarded piece of wood into a beautiful object which encapsulates the spirit of nature is one of the most gratifying things in the world. Something it can be proud of being and perhaps restore it to something close to its former glory. I try to restore an often withered and defeated lump of wood and turn it into something beautiful. As romantic as these notions are, I try to do each piece of wood justice. Was it felled by the elements or by human hand? How did it end up in the sea? Did it travel miles from the rivers source or was it carried by man? What has it seen on its way? Family's? Right? Wrong? Birth? Death? Everything in between? Or is it just a twig that dropped into the River Exe a mile from from its resting place. Was it planted or did it float on the breeze? Which county, state, country, continent did it come to life? What did it grow up to be? A large tree that sheltered people from the elements or perhaps a house or an old galleon. It was a tree once, where did it start off as a seed. I often wonder where a specific piece of driftwood has come from. The thing I love most about driftwood though,apart from the look and feel is the mystery behind it. The power that drives my electric tools also all comes from sustainable energy sources. 
Although I don't hug trees, it's my belief that sustainability should be at the heart of all business practice and protecting our beautiful county and planet is a responsibility we should all take more seriously. And with such rich resources either being washed up on our lovely coast or falling off our many trees, why use new materials? I ONLY used reclaimed wood or drift/fall wood in my artwork and woodwork and make a monthly donation to one of the UK's leading charities who plant new baby trees. Devon, in my humble opinion, is the most beautiful place in the world.
#ZEN TIME PIECE FULL#
After the image was uploaded to Facebook I quickly had 20+ commissions and so Zen Wood Design was born and I immediately started working full time and haven't looked back since. I started my journey into art in January 2019 when I made a driftwood shark for my brother in law. I am a driftwood artist from Woodbury in Devon.
