Get in gear....
« on: October 17, 2012, 03:59:49 pm »
I don't post in the brag area much but, I thought that people might be interested in different things you can do with a scrollsaw.


 


Something other than fret work and ornaments or intarsia or name plates.
The pattern is in the November issue of "Wood" magazine.
This is one of two that I made for the grandsons Christmas gifts. It took me about eight days to build both sets.

It's not all that hard. It,s just like anything else, "Just follow the lines on the pattern". The hard part is the time it takes, 290 holes of various sizes and 1384" of cutting. I spent one day drilling and two days just cutting the 26 gears. I just like trying different things on the scroll saw to see if I can do it. :)

You can stack the gears to make a synchro set. They are designed to do that very thing. It just takes a few more 1" long 1/4" dowels to lock them together. One more dowle per set pushed through a hole that is already there and you are good to go! In fact, I've been doing that very thing. :)  Just to make sure that it works. :)
