The Gate Maker is designed to fulfill only one purpose -- to facilitate the exploration / working of the 231 Gates. 

Aside from the external decorations (which contribute to its functionality only at the astra-mental level of emotional significance), the working mechanism of The Gate Maker is composed of 10 small (22mm diameter), perfectly clear, Quartz spheres, connected by strands of (22 gauge) Gold, Silver and Copper wires.  The 10 spheres are arrayed in the Tree of Life pattern and the metal wires are inserted in such a way as to form the 22 Lettered and the 16 un-Lettered connections inherent to the Hebrew Tree image.

I've relied upon my usual medium of corrugated cardboard to support this structure of spheres and wire.  The main body of The Gate Maker consists of a 4 layer thick rectangle of corrugated cardboard into which I cut 10 holes for the spheres and then incised the 38 connections into the top-most layer.

Each connection between the Sephirotic spheres consists of 3 wires which have been carefully laid into the incision.  Each wire is cut long enough to have a couple of inches excess to wrap around the interior of each sphere-hole, thus making physical contact with each Quartz sphere once inserted.

Three strands of Sterling Silver wire are used for the Pillar of Severity (left-hand side of Binah, Geburah and Hod); three strands of 14k Gold filled wire for the Pillar of Mercy (right-hand side of Chokmah, Gedulah and Netzach); and, a combination Copper, Silver and Gold (one strand of each) is used for the Pillar of Equilibrium (center of Kether, Tiphareth, Yesod and Malkuth).  Each connection originating from the Pillar of Severity is composed of two Silver strands and one strand of the wire that corresponds to the Pillar of its termination.  For example, the connection between Binah and Gedulah consists of two Silver and one Gold; and, from Binah to Tiphareth, two Silver and one Copper.  Likewise, connections originating from the Pillar of Mercy contain two Gold strands and one strand corresponding to the Pillar of termination.  And finally, connections originating from the Pillar of Equilibrium consist of two Copper strands and one strand of its termination Pillar. 

Once the wiring is complete, the sphere-hole bottoms are painted with their corresponding colors and a face of 1/16 inch thick dense cardboard is applied to cover the wiring incisions.  The face is then painted Gold and the decorative pattern of connecting "Paths" are glued in place. 

Then the cabinet enclosure is built around The Gate Maker.  Embedded within the structure of the four layer thick cabinet (including each door) is a half-inch grid of Copper wire which (when the doors are closed) serves to shield The Gate Maker mechanism from all external influences.  When the construction of the cabinet and doors is complete, they are painted and decorated.  The exterior decoration is simple -- a gold and violet medallion with the Hebrew Names IHVH and ADNI (glow-in-the-dark coated) from which radiates four violet flames.  The inside surfaces of each door are decorated with illustrations of the 48 components of the Hebrew Tree presented in what I term the "logical sequence".  Like Hebrew script, they progress from right to left, top to bottom and begin with the right hand door.

When decoration of the cabinet and doors is completed, and construction and painting of the five-tiered base and three-tiered topper is finished, each separate piece is given a thick coating of spray lacquer.  Once the lacquer has cured sufficiently, the Quartz spheres are inserted and the decorative Sephirotic disks are glued in place.  Due to the design of the door hinges, assembly of the cabinet doors and attachment of the base and topper is the very last step in construction.

The Gate Maker is then energetically cleansed and each of the 10 Quartz spheres is tuned to its respective Sephirotic essence.  Prior to shipping, The Gate Maker is surrounded by a simple energetic shield designed to protect from extraneous energies during transit.  This shield will automatically dissipate within minutes of receipt by its new owner.

The Gate Maker is very simple to operate and use.  :)  All that is required to "make" a Gate is for the operator to impregnate the relevant Sephirotic spheres with either the Adonai Light or the Kethric Brilliance.  Because of the wiring, the connections between Sephirot automatically form once the relevant spheres have been charged.  The spheres must be charged in the sequence of the Gate itself.  For example, if one is making the Gate of Kether-to-Chokmah, one must first charge the Kether sphere and then the Chokmah sphere.

To "work" or explore the Gate thus formed, one simply projects their astra-mental awareness into the starting sphere and then proceeds to follow the Gate's sequence. 

Each Gate Maker comes with a "User Manual", a copy of The 231 Gates of Initiation on data-CD and three audio-CDs containing all nine TMO Lessons.
