How to make friends with gears and stop losing them?
While I don’t believe you can truly befriend an unliving inanimate object, I am certain that you have two paths to choose from: In the hard one you become extremely proficient with scrying, therefore being able to find the gears when they are not where you expect them.
Or you choose the path of rigid order where each type of gear has its specific place; either the gear is in the machine, or in the place, nothing in between. This way it is impossible for teh gear to be anywhere else than its assigned place. This becomes slightly difficult if there are more of you sharing one workspace, however. Or if you travel a lot. Still, labelled boxes are your salvation.
