Absolutely gorgeous, love the tiny hand operated gear version but wow the plug in, larger gears with inspiration of nature… just are fascinating and amazing and I like how the concept of unity or marriage fits with it. Very complimenting message and work of art

I own a cnc machine and finding creators brave enough to use one in a video is refreshing. I get why they are polarizing , but they are still a ton of fun to use to create things with and isn't that what the "Hobby" is all about. I can't believe your neighbors dont have Ring cameras on their houses. I mean the amount of lumber you have taken ....... Have a Blessed day .

DREW!!!! Your sense of humor surpasses your ability to construct interesting things... Regardless of whomever lives next door to you, they deserve something in return for all the vicarious assistance they've provided for all your projects over the years. I got rid of my (mega-$$$) turntable when I digitized all the albums I'd collected over the decades (first pressings off masters), but I could just see you disassembling your neighbors prize, new, mega-$$$ turntable for a DC motor to turn this project. (I didn't wet my pants laughing, but... it was close)!! You touched a nerve with the gears, though. Back in my youth - after the kids were grown and gone - I raced a Lotus 61 formula Ford. I had an old milling machine and lathe in my garage and, unable to purchase gearsets for the Hewland gearbox, I made my own. Now while an individual gearset might take me forty-hours to machine, not counting my time, it was cheaper than buying that same gear from the manufacturer. Was it worth it? I won seven championships in the eleven years I raced the car. At 75, my days of making exotic things have passed, but as long as I'm upright and wasting oxygen, I'll continue to enjoy your channel!

The most unique channel on KZfaq. Always enjoy your videos.

Your work and your neighbors are the best!

Watching and listening to you do your projects, is more then educational... It's great stress relief! Who couldn't help but laugh. Maybe you need to be a stockholder in Oral-B!

Very cool. Your poor neighbor must think he lives in a bad area. Stuff just goes missing every time you make a video. Lol😂

Boy you are just KILLING it with the CnC machine. I want to get one but would need to use my neighbour’s driveway to park my cars on. And they’re nowhere near as accommodating as yours is. Thanks for putting the flathead screw and walnut into the full length video. Armageddon has been averted once again. An incredible project, once again. You always make my day. Or week. Or sometimes, month.

That's a super-cool project... you're right, it's hypnotic! Well done.

I think you just crossed well into the genius category. Awesome project.

Absolutely genius......love it but I wouldn't get anything done because of sitting to endlessly watch it!!! I'm sure you're right that it is totally mesmirizing. Thanks again for another awesome video, good laughs and sharing your amazing skills!

Very nice project. Not seeing the out takes it looks flawless. Lol. Oh Bless you who ever sneezed. Been thinking of getting a CNC still on the fence. Keep up the amazing work.👽

Duuuuuude. You outdid yourself!

I would stare at those gears all day!

Dear neighbor, just a heads up that due to the mysterious thefts of wood and electronics from our home, we are considering a surveillance system to catch these thieves in the act. Disregard the blinky red lights above the inside garage and outside doors. ... Cool project and as always, love the outtakes!

at about 3:15, I was thinking, "boy, woodworking is amazing". - great build! I need to get a CNC at some point.

Woodworker, artist, philosopher! And, maybe marriage counselor? Oh yeah….those were great uses for a toothbrush. I don’t really use them for brushing teeth either. Wonder why they’re called that?

I like this one! I've been machining gears for 35 years, and been a woodworker for 40, so this is right in my wheelhouse! I've been thinking about a project that uses gears, so... Good video, brother!

Love “Project Nautilus “. Completely nerding out over here😆

Drew, you are one Cool Ranch Dorito. Thanks for another great video.

I Have no words except AWESOME!!!

All jokes aside it was actually really cool to see the onefinity in more detail after hearing probably 40hrs worth of content about it on your We Built A Thing podcast 😅 Really does seem quite achievable to learn & that gaming controller for flattening looks like so much fun

You had me at Freedom Units.

Those are both really neat, Drew. When you were choosing the first two pieces of wood, I figured you would just see what your neighbor had that you could "borrow". Bill

Cool ranch Doritos, marriage counseling, woodworking… the trifecta!

Mesmerizing is such an apt word!

Very cool project. I’m going to grab some tracing paper and a coping saw - check back with me in a couple of years.

Another great job Drew.

Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing the different techniques. 👍👍

That flathead kills me! 😂 But damn, that was a wonderful masterpiece. You've outdone yourself. Super-impressed!

WOWZA!

Thats a nice yin yang, you sir have great skills. I love to watch your builds, listen to the very humorous narrative and the outtakes are hilarious. Keep them comen....

WOW! that’s neat. Captain Nemo would be proud.

That is AWESOME .I enjoy all your videos and the free of charge humor .

Now this is a cool project. Great job Drew! I too have the Onefinity X50 Journeyman. Got mine a little over a year before you and upgraded it a couple times. It's been a fantastic machine. Right now I'm making Chess pieces with it.

I like the way the nautilus gears overhang the mounting base. I don't know why that's so pleasing, but it shows some interesting artistic forethought.

Wow Drew so very cool glad to see a new video from you and it was crazy cool great job and funny as always

I love, love, love it! Not just a pretty face after all 😊

WOW Drew, if it wasn't for me lacking basic intelligence and creativity, I could do something like this. GREAT piece! !! !!!

You should try to make each one into a 2:1 ratio of the previous one, which accelerate the next one at twice the speed. Result is the appearance of acceleration along the run of gears an amazing effect to watch...

Loved the marriage analogy.

The game controller was a nice touch 🤣🤪

I'm glad you found a motor that worked! It's an interesting situation. As the gear spins the amount of torque needed by the motor varies. And like you said, that causes the speed to change depending on the position of the gear. Very mesmerizing!

I've been fascinated with nautilus gears for a long time now. Love the way both projects came out!

Nice job. I like your inserted humor too.

Thanks Drew.

That was a fun journey, thanks for sharing, great editing as well!

Like night & day, Like Allen & flat head screw!

Mesmerizing!!!!

Very cool project Drew!! Awesome job!!!

Great project! Love those tulips on the shelf

When routing all edges, like round-overs, do the end-grain sides first and that way any tear-out will get cleaned up when you do the other sides.

Love it! I've always been intrigued by gears, too.

Fibonocci sequences are awesome!

[5:10] > "Fortunately, my neighbor bought a new record player..." I don't see how that's relev... > "... and this motor came right out of it pretty easily." Ah yes, carry on.

Absolutely beautiful! Over the years your neighbour has really suffered! From emptying your shop vac in to his new swimming pool to nicking his table lamp cable! 😂😂 Looks life your wife's getting the same treatment too with those toothbrushes! 😂😂 Love your humour! It fits perfectly into your narrating! 👍

Awesome project Drew!! Makes me want to go out and purchase a CNC machine.

Great idea and great execution ( and only a couple of “Oh! Crap”s )! Nice work Drew.

Great build! Very cool and the analogy is right on the money! Thank you for sharing!

Brother! Super cool... Love the marriage counseling at the end. Ordering a case of Ranch Doritos from the Amazon.

Hope you feel better, Drew.

Looks great and I had a good laugh while watching it. All the best ☺

Those look great Drew, I enjoyed the fusion 360 demo too. I didn't know you could reproduce shapes along a line. As always, love the neighbour jokes.

First video I have seen from you. Your humor is amazing and I loved the project, definitely turning on notifications for this channel!

Awesome video, Drew! I saw the small gears on Instagram and was super impressed then. However, after watching this video, I'm even more impressed by the larger gears. The way the wood species compliments each other is really nice. I didn't think Jarrah and walnut could look that good together.

This makes me want to do my DIY CNC upgrades to make this. That's awesome!

Great project and your humor never disappoints!

You had me at Freedom Units

Love your work as always my brother! Great job!

That is really cool!

Those pieces were wonderfully ostentatious, particularly the manual one. I love it! All jokes aside, that advice about marriage is something to live by. My wife and I have been together 16 years (married 11) and we lived that way without realising it for years. I hope that piece reminds you of your marriage when you see it. Thanks for the unexpected feel good content ☺

Your wife and neighbor are lucky to have you around o

This was another great video done by you!!

Excellent video!

It ain't a Fisher project without some sort of contribution from an unaware neighbour.😂

I'm a bit "shell" shocked at how well the nautilus gears turned out. Amazing project

That's mad, Drew... Crazy beautiful work!!! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Awesome! Great combination of woods/tools/design. Would be really neat if you could incorporate a clock mechanism on one of the big gears. Art AND function :). Keep up the great work.

You have a talent. To create something like that is just amazing.

I really enjoy this channel. The humor and the bloopers are great. Plus you can't fo wrong with cool ranch doritos!

You could have found that metric screw in the carburetor of your neighbors lawn tractor.

That is so cool. Great job.

When is your neighbor coming over to see how you have used his stuff?

Great project.

Great job... love the humor

Exceptional project, well done.

That was really cool- thank you

TOTALLY enthralled with the Fibonacci formula and the appearance of them in all sorts of places in nature. They are everywhere large to small.

Way cool!

Awesome!!!

Really cool!

Nice one!

I love love the big one❤

The fact that you weren't able to source a matching flathead bolt for the motor really grinds my gears. Sounds like it's your neighbor's fault. 😁

Beautiful work! You mentioned motorizing the piece with the different species of wood. Do you think that if you motorized the middle gear instead of one of the end gears, maybe it would be easier on the system and not break any of the teeth off? I'm not sure if placement makes it easier or harder... or if the resistance is all the same.

Jarrah & metric machine screws…you sir are an honorary West Australian for today😅

Very cool.

Hola! 🖐Glad to get back and watch one of your videos, I've been off the grid for a minute. I don't have one of them gizmos and don't plan on getting one for a while. BUT, once I get the shop off and running I thought of making something like this for the grandkiddos - much much more elementary of course. This way, if it doesn't work they'll never know AND I can blame them for "breaking it" haha. Great project and video. Take care and have a good one, Adios!👊

Really enjoy the story of how you find everything to build these great projects 🎉😊

I have a bunch of motors salvaged from microwave turntables like that, I'll have to look into doing something like this.
