Thank you so much for the free plans Mr. Pask. Bearings would be a huge help with the friction but as for the motor it’s self I’m not sure. I’m just like you I’m over the moon that it works. That is by far one of your best creations yet.

I'm not sure if this is an engineering project, a craft project or an art project...but it is fantastic! Thanks for taking us along on this journey. The propeller is my favorite, but the aging and rusting techniques for the gears are amazing. You are definitely an artist. And a craftsman. And an engineer.

I love the weathering of the first cog with the rubbed off paint! Also, with that high gear ratio and access to the back, hide the motor behind the propeller and drive it backwards. Smaller motor needed and you can create a clever small man with a “Pask Makes” likeness “driving” the first cog. Love it!!!

Brilliant! A testament to your creativity, ingenuity, and steadfastness - characteristics of a true craftsman. It was difficult to select a favorite, but I eventually settled on the first one for the shear art of it standing alone. When they all work together, though, my eye is drawn to the rustiest one with your logo.

Fantastic display. I wasn't sure about the rusted metal deco on just the second cog, but doing the others all differently brings it together. It gives a vibe like you always had a set of various metal cogs and replaced/filled one space with your own wood cog. I love how that subtly gives the propeller, wood cog, and cog series their own presence as separate projects.

Gorgeous. Ingenious methodology throughout. Super impressed.

@codemonkeyhacks3973 2 жыл бұрын

Looking great! You can try hiding a small electric motor behind the propeller, or maybe on the other side of the wall. Since the gear ratio is 1:5, i think it would be easier to motorize at the propeller itself, and not at any other gear.

@victorhopper6774 2 жыл бұрын

yes with a prop at both ends

@F3Ibane 2 жыл бұрын

Was going to say this. A motor at the "driving" cog would need to be ridiculously over-spec. Driving the prop side from behind would give you the slow turn with a much less beefy motor and it would still appear that the first cog was connected to the source of power.

@threeriversforge1997 2 жыл бұрын

Just fantastic. Can't say I have a favorite gear, though. They're all pretty awesome and it was really fun to watch the whole thing come together. As for being hard to turn, the first thing I noted is that you didn't take any notes from Clickspring about spacing things out so they mesh properly. A couple sheets of cardboard isn't the "proper" depthing gauge, my friend. I would recommend you put some paste wax on the teeth to help they glide across each other better. I use Johnson's Paste Floor Wax, but I'm sure Australia has something similar. It's really great for creating a slick surface, especially if you build it up. With as much wood-to-wood contact as you have there, you're looking at a ton of friction that needs lubing.

@PaskMakes 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks mate and thanks for the tips! I really didn't put much thought into meshing them and I really should have lubricated the hubs too. :)

Your attention to the decorative details amazes me, but I am always impressed/fascinated with the "coincidental" details, such as adding additional studs to ensure the proper support, etc. I also admire your ability to not only foresee possible issues, but to have a backup plan in place in the event you need one. You've taken craftsmanship up to artisan level and are verging on Master of the Craft - from inspiration to inception to execution, you treat each "adventure" as a whole. which in turn gives a whole lot of enjoyment to your viewers................

Enjoyed? doesn't begin to sum it up! Blown away & amazed, Neil. This was a sensational series and I've loved every minute! The fully 'rusted' cog is my fave too, the hub and lettering look incredibly realistic. I've seen many tricks&tips on youtube but that moment where you routed the rim with a shallow cut, then used the piece as its own template - made me smile. Neil turned the first cog and all the rest began to turn, the propeller too, began to spin and as it reached speed...the wall flew away!

Each cog has it's own charm, though I especially like the first/lowest one with the curved spokes, and the all-rusted one with the raised lettering! Seeing these other than up close first hand, I think anyone would be hard pressed to say that they are wood ad not cast iron!! possibly the only thing I would have done different would have been to plan in advance enough so that you could have made smaller cogs out of the cut-offs from the larger ones. Some day when my shop is up and running maybe I will make a MUCH smaller version of this, out of 1/4 inch ply, and try to 'nest' as many of the parts as I can!! Thank you (again) for being a great inspiration and sharing your craft with the rest of us!!

I would be hard pressed to believe they are wooden. I must admit, when you mentioned making gears to turn the prop, I was all in. Now I see that it was worth it, at least for those of us watching you do all the work! Mathias' box joint jig is about as much gear work as I want to do, big pat on the back for the amount of work you did, and the vision to do it in the first place. I thought the prop was cool, but you've made it infinitely moreso. Kudos!
