    Making Wooden Gears Technique
    by Steve Garrison

    You must be a SawMill Creek Contributor to be eligible to win this drawing and you must opt-in by posting in this thread.

    SawMill Creek Member Steve Garrison has developed a technique for cutting involute profile gears using either a scroll saw or a table saw. The types of gears that can be made using this technique include the following: spur, helical, herringbone, and elliptical. There are no special tools required, and the technique is easy to understand once you see how it works. There are four parameters that can be entered into an Excel spreadsheet: number of teeth, diametrical pitch, pressure angle, and helix angle if you want to make helical gears. With these parameters, the spreadsheet outputs all the needed dimensions calculated with the same simple formulas that mechanical engineers use for designing gears. It sounds complicated but it is not. Any woodworker who has a drill press, bench top disc sander, and either a scroll saw or table saw can learn how to make gears with this technique. It is much less tiring and more accurate than the old method. It is a lot of fun, and very unique. Visit Steve Garrisons “Gear” page on his web site at http://steveg769.bizland.com/id5.html for more information. While you are there, feel free to look at his artwork on the other pages too and make sure you watch Steve's videos.

    Steve will email a download link for one copy of his gear making technique to the winner.

    Consider me opted in. I've made some walking sticks with complex spiral patterns and have thought about trying to automate it in some way. I'll bet this would help.

    Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "...Holy Cow....what a ride!"

    Making Gears

    Greetings & Salutations,

    How Cool, Count me in. I have a clock plan that I might be able to make the gears myself for.

    And to think it only took me 2 weeks 26 hours and 43 minutes to get that top flat.

    Sure, count me in. I'm not sure what I'd do with it right now, but I could see it enhancing my turning somehow.
    It’s only work if somebody makes you do it.
    A day can really slip by when you're deliberately avoiding what you're supposed to do.
