- This is the first of a series focusing on making the gears for the Harmonic Analyzer. This video from Bill Hammack shows an original Analyzer developed in the 1890's that I will be attempting to duplicate.
• (1/4) Intro/History: I...
I picked up an old lathe 16x60 that didn’t come with all the gears I’m in need of and have been searching all types of ways to produce my own, happen to come across your channel. I like the direction you went with this and of course everyone will have a different variation on tweaking processes accordingly to there interests and learned experiences and I enjoyed watching. Thanks for uploading
You are most welcome. I hope your gear project goes well.
Thanks for sharing.....People from around the world, like me, are enjoying your videos...For sure!!
Thanks so much, Salomon. I'm sorry I could not make more but still trying and making a few.
I am glad to see you come back with another video. I am reasonably certain that is the same rotary table they sell on ebay. And they sell the dividing plate kits. Harmonic analyzer sure has a ring to the name.
Thanks, Harold. I have been keeping up with your videos and your work on making gears inspired me to try this. Keep on......well, you know.
Wow.... Paul, just bumped into your channel, and I'm really glad I did! You are doing a great job sharing your vast experiences. Thanks. I'm looking forward to watching all of your content. Best of luck, Joel
Thanks, Joel. I'm glad you enjoy the videos. I, too have learned a great deal from watching youtube videos. Particularly the machine shop experts like mrpete222, abom79, Kieth Fenner and oxtools.
Make thing on metal. Lathes
Rely interesting and a lot of useful tips that save a so much time when it comes to getting on with the process of making the parts.looking forward to watching the rest of the vid's on this project.
Thanks for the kind words.
My god , that is a huge project ! My best wishes and good luck. This machine combines , Physics , Mathematics , Music and Computer science.
Yes, this project is quite a challenge. I will certainly have some detours on the way, and may never get to the end, but it will be fun trying. Thanks for your kind words.
Good Job, Paul. Keep going guy.
Thanks fir the kind words.
Pretty slick Paul, a lot of nice work on the set up pieces too.....Dave
Thanks Dave. Hope to see you at the steam show in August
Ha ha, Good to see someone with your obvious experience still turns the handles the wrong way. Subscribed.
Hey, I can make mistakes with the best of 'em. Thanks for stopping by and for the subscription.
Paul, I noticed your hat. My grandfather used to have property across the Peshtigo river from Mr Trecker back in the 30's. Thanks for the memomry jog. BTW nice informative video. So much of this knowledge is being lost or going into the underground if you will
Thanks, Corey,
I have learned a great deal from some of the You Tube creators that have been at it far longer than I have (Kieth Fenner, Adam Booth, Kieth Rucker, Randy Richards, etc.) Quite a few have K&T horizontal mills and really love them, so a couple years ago, I had the hats made as holiday gifts for them.
Paul: Warren God sent me the links to your tutorials. Glad to see you are still making Mr. Wizzard look like a hack. Hope you and Nancy and family are doing well.
Paul Brunswick
Hey, Paul. Great to hear from you again. Send me an e-mail at phjacobs@gmail.com and we can catch up.
You got my subscription. Very useful input.
I'm glad it was helpful. Thanks for stopping by.
great video, I've subscribed Paul. thanks for sharing
Thanks for stopping by.
Great video, I really this. Thank you so much for this lesson.
Thanks, Kelvin. I hope I can continue to be helpful.
Thanks for the link.
if you run a marker across the mandrill and then run that indicator you had centered across it, should make a line you can line your saw against
Yes, that's another way to skin the cat. Thanks for stopping by.
For manual gear making one wants to use a dividing plate. Round holes with a conical index are accurate enough for most gear applications. I'm pretty sure most people that make or made gears will use the dividing head to make the dividing plate that will give them all of their gear increments. Check out this guy's vid.

Do more than 1 at a time, c-mon... also, I would think about wire edm'ing these and running like 6" long bars unattended at night then throwing on lathe and slicing up... I've done jobs like this before.
Sounds like you're way ahead of me. The first series of gears I have to make all have different tooth counts. 20 of them between 6 and 120 teeth. Another set is all 120 teeth and I will do all of them at one time. See later videos in this series to see how I automated the process of making a single gear. I can start it and walk away. Thanks for your comments.
Some good camera shots.
Thanks. I like your ideas for arbor press improvements.
Nice setup for the indicator. Has to save you time not setting up the indicator holders.
Thanks, Dan. I made that thing years ago for some now forgotten project but once I had it, I couldn't get along without it. Thanks for stopping by.
By the way Grizzly sells a set of dividing plates for the rotary table for $170. inc shipping.
Thanks for the tip. I took a peek at your channel. Nice job on the ring roller.
Thanks MAX....Cap.
Harmonic analysis. I'm sure more than one of us viewers is still interested. Hoping you are too.
Yes, I am still working on the harmonic analyzer and should be able to post a video on that subject after the holidays.
You posted another comment regarding the wiring of the safety cutout switches that I am not able to reply to for unknown reasons. The wiring arrangement you suggest should work. You should test it, though to be sure that tripping any one of the switches immediately stops all motion. Good luck with your project.
The tooth, The whole tooth, and nothing but the tooth?
I certainly hope so!
Paul, what pressure angle are your cutters 14.5 or 20?
Doug, Pressure angle is 20 degrees. I found the cutters on E-Bay from a vendor in Ukraine. Paul
Thanks for the reply and information Paul. Great video!
thee ahhh thee ahhhh ahhhh ahhhh ahhhh ahhhhhhhhhh there ahhhhhhhhhh
Nicely done Paul. I have yet to cut any gears but am looking forward to the challenge. Do you subscribe to "Clickspring". He is over the top in gear making. Looking forward to future videos on your Harmonic analyzer. Fred
Thanks, Fred. I do subscribe to Clickspring, although I have gotten somewhat behind on viewing. I am pretty excited about this project. The top of the analyzer will probably have to be an aluminum casting. We need to have a chat about that.
Hi Max. I wonder if you've seen one of these:
th-cam.com/video/JvJPjugtenI/w-d-xo.html
I used to teach Fourier stuff at a University, and this was my best ever skip-find, in pieces in the rubbish (trash). I didn't even know what it was when I found it, and when I put it together and realised how relevant it was to my teaching (noise and vibration) it was really exciting.
Obviously making videos is not my thing!
Hello, Mark. No, I have not seen one of those analyzers and did not know of their existence. I was excited when I ran across Bill Hammack's videos because I had no idea that any kind of mechanical device that could do Fourier analysis existed. Now I find there are at least two!
I encourage you to do as Bill has done and make more videos about your find. I have just started to do this as well and just stutter and stammer through my videos, but a lot of folks seem to enjoy them and it is a pleasure to share what I can.Thanks for bringing your find to my attention.
You are re-inventing CNC from the ground up.
Well, I'm not so sure about that, but thanks anyway ;-)
I just found your channel and it seems like I could learn a lot BUT PLEASE use a script I mean no disrespect Sir but it was "Uh" very hard to listen to. I all most turned it off
you do realize you said "ah" 127 times during that video lol
OK, that does it. I am going to invest in an "ah filter" for my microphone. One that also works for "uh". Just watch out for words like upward, they might sound a bit strange.
You probably just need a script that you can read from. Presenting like this is a skill in itself and takes practice!
Yes, I was shocked when I re-listened to the track and looked for uh's. I will have to make a few notes in advance and concentrate better. Thanks.
max runout Ah, uh, oo, umm and oops are all in the engineers dictionary. These noises are evidence that your brain is working. A bit like, you know that your car is running, because the engine makes a noise. Good work sir, a nice finished product.
Max ya gotta be from 'sconsin ;)
i tried to watch , but too many ughs ,,,,,, otherwise not bad
sorry fell asleep
Love your information, but all of your UHHHS and AND-UHHHs are killing me. You have more of those than the actual content in your speaking. They make it very difficult to listen to you. I'm not going to stop my subscription to your channel, nor turn off the bell. As I said I love your videos. I can as much out of your videos if I simply turn the sound completely off.
SHOW SOME RESPECT.
yes i agree
Too much talk
God I’m glad I don’t live in the states, when do you have time to do anything ! Stop talking lol
