I watched this a couple years ago. Been more than once I tried to justify making a gear
but was always able to find a stock gear I could rework to fix a broken machine.

I'm going to make a couple gears some time real soon just to be able to say I did it.

I haven't made a gear like that in years. The comment about "no
distractions" was right on. The first and second tries at making the
gear wound up in the scrap barrel. 3rd try looked more like a military
aircraft checklist!

I want to do that, for the same reason.

Let's see; I could connect my NC rotary table as a fourth axis...
This could be easier than using a dividing head.

Nothing new there for me, but I used to routinely cut clock wheels, and
pinions.

It takes less time than you may think. I timed myself making a 144 tooth
great wheel for a clock once. Fifteen minutes to cut the teeth with a home
made cycloidal cutter. Two hours to cross it out (make spokes), debur and
polish. The dividing head was home made.

So, what tidbit did you learn from that video, Winnie?

Man, who was the _dynamic_ narrator? thud

I wouldn't feel any shame doing it that way if I could.

Sector arms.
I'd seen them on dividing heads before but never knew their
purpose. Kewl.

And mostly just seeing the tools assembled and in use to
create the gear. One picture being worth a thousand words
and all that. Edifying while entertaining.

Hey I understood everything he said!

I took a computer architecture course at DEC many years ago.
Our instructor had an almost opaque accent and would sneeze
occasionally. It took me a couple hours to figure out that
he wasn't sneezing, he was attempting to say 'Master Sync,
Slave Sync'!

I think that it is a beautiful video. I also loved the music. Sounds
lie it is from old silent movies, Would anyone know what is the music.

For gears and many other interesting ideas, see if you can find the
locations of John Stevenson's shop methods.

A few (or more) years ago, he built a gear cutting machine using
synchronized steppers and a worm gear box instead of a dividing head.

I can't name it but it falls into the category of music called
'Honky Tonk' or 'Boogie Woogie'.
Prolly a rag of some sort.

Very nice!

I couldn't listen to the YouTube version because it was very poorly
recorded. Atwell appears to be a genius, though. Made it look trivial.
