Get My Free Workbench Plans: paskmakes.com/limited-time-free-workbench-plans I may have got carried away a little with this project but it really was fun! Although, I'm looking forward to making something else! Any advice on adding a motor is very welcome. And I forgot to mention that the gear ratio is 1:5. :)
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 agree! I’m an art student and the first thing I thought was “this would be a really great art installation.” Definitely exploring the boundaries between arts, crafts, and engineering!
I never miss your videos. Not because I have any interest in wood or metal shop work, but because you (and the pandemic) have triggered a renewed interest in sewing for me. I used to sew as a teenager. Now, at 65, I have started again. It has been very rewarding, and I thank you. Your videos remind me of the joy of using good tools, techniques, and materials. You embrace the fun of planning a project, then adjusting plans, and coping with mistakes and setbacks. And, of course, appreciating the finished product. Again, thank you.
...and congratulations on your "propeller and cogs" project. It is delightful! Now I am off to sew a bathrobe for my sister for a Christmas gift. 👍🙋♀️
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!!!
The escalation of this project since the first cog is has turned it into one of the best series you’ve made. It’s be really fun to see a slow turning motor attached & learn the process along side ~ even if your not an expert neither are the viewers. (Angry commenters don’t count)
As always I had a grin on my face from start to finish. It is funny that I realize I am grinning about half way through your videos; never fails. I am so grateful there are folks like you on the planet. Sharing your prowess and expertise with us is so satisfying to watch. Thanks Niel .
I really like how they are all different. It looks like you found them scattered around different junk yards and put them all together. My favorite design is the one down at the bottom.
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.
Well said about the testament!! Actually my eye was drawn to the Hammer tone blue one but the rusty logo is tops in my book and the first one a close second. Functional Eye candy of epic proportion.
Pick a favorite? No way, I love them all. This is in my opinion the most impressive work you’ve done so far. Not only because of your skill, patience and great craftsmanship, but because it was fun. We need more fun in our lives. You gave that to us with this project. Thank you. 😀
I know you are part of the makers community but your work is on another level. This could be proudly displayed in a gallery as art. There is so much more I could say, but that's what art does.
I follow and enjoy watching a number of youtube woodworkers and makers. The reason I truly enjoy and can't wait for your videos is that you make what you're interested in. It really comes through. Too many of the other makers and woodworkers on TH-cam seem to post things they think I'll be interested in. It's much more entertaining and enjoyable to watch someone do something they really enjoy and have an interest in, no matter what the project is.
Favorites: - blue cog as it suit the color scheme of your workshop - full timber cog - it shows the tremendous care for details Now you can add a pulley with a counterweight so you can make propeller move some air hands free, summer is coming! Great project that we all enjoy!!
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.
I have learned alot from watching you, I do have to say this has been my favorite series so far. You did an awesome job on those gears they are fantastic!
Wowza. I was looking forward to this build and you blew me away! Not only do they mesh appropriately and turn the prop, but I love that each cog is different. What a beautiful piece of sculpture. And I'm glad you put your name on it, that was the perfect touch. Well done! And thank you for sharing. (I like the fully rusted one, BTW.)
Just an FYI, (I’m sure you already know) you can load windows 10 as a separate operating environment (even use an external drive to install to for space and application separation). That would allow you to run the Dos or windows apps and have the best of both worlds. Thanks for sharing your video, time and knowledge with us! This Texan tips his hat to you sir!
I like the blue one most. Has a nice industrial touch, looks like one of a cogs I see everyday at railway service at work on one of the machines. Really cool project.
Well I'm utterly speechless Neil. The work that went into this project is special and the finished article is absolutely fantastic. It's incredibly difficult to choose a favourite because they all look like metal so really and truly, the effect is outstanding. A wonderful video mate and well worth waiting for. 👍🏻👍🏻👏
If a person didn't get close and hasn't seen these videos they would never know all of those were made of wood. Looks amazing, and I'm glad you enjoyed doing it. I know I enjoyed watching it all come together.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Great project, great too see all the work come together. I would suggest mounting them all on roller bearing thou. Otherwise that friction is a killer. Perhaps you could try making a helical gear?😬 Again great stuff.
Thanks very much Joe! I thought at the start I should mount them with bearings but I was trying to keep it simple and thought I could always do that later on if it was needed. :)
So only thing left is a couple of hands for a giant clock and a motor built in to run off solar and you will have a large wooden clock for the shop! You have amazing patience and a wild ability to do repetitive work that is unmatched! From the gears to the kumiko you must be fantastic at large puzzles!!! I could actually see you enjoying cutting each piece by hand and fitting each one. Always impressive!
Turned out beautifully. Pick 1? The WHOLE lot!! Okay, same rusty as you chose. Really very nice. Put a crank handle on the ‘First’ cog, and locking wire on the prop bolts 😁.
I admire your patience. Building that installation, just for the sake of building it, as it serves no practical purpose, must have required a lot of determination and perseverance. Looks great too.
I am late seeing this one...but you are SO talented and entertaining to watch and learn from. I am sure you have heard it many times, but you could be the most patient and dedicated person I have ever watched. Thank you for you videos!
I am just fascinated with the rust on wood .... I am not a carpenter. I wish I was, I enjoy tinkering with wood, but lack the understanding (why I watch and enjoy your videos). I have for about half of my life been a painter however ... painting everything from model numbers on aerospace parts with an airbrush and stencil, to cockpit indicator / dial faces. Painting cars, and boats, to air brushing artistic designs on t-shirts. Now retired, painting plastic model cars with an airbrush as well as brush painting on canvas ... enjoy finishes, and am fascinated with the rust finish.
Sorry, ich kann kein englisch. Ich finde das Projekt erstklassik. Diese Geduld sowas zu bauen würde ich nie aufbringen, Hut ab. Es sieht einfach fantastisch aus, die Zahnräder sehen wie echt aus Metall aus. Bin echt begeistert.
As soon as you made the first gear, I knew it would be used to spin the propeller. Great work! Your craftsmanship is stellar and your eye for making functional and beautiful woodworks is top notch
Neil, That's just brilliant. Great job and I suspect many don't realise that just because you make it look so easy, there's still a lot of work in all of that. Thanks for yet another series of entertaining videos.
@16:09 that little stencil transfer trick is ingenious!! I'm definitely going to have to give this a try. 👍👍 My favorite is the one with the hammered finished blue paint, it looks awesome.
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!!
Looks absolutely awesome. It makes such a nice centerpiece in the workshop. If I may give a tip. Buy a bootle of graphite lubricant. The dusty stuff and apply it on the teeth when it is spinning. It will leave a metallic edge on the parts where it is touching. That is what I use when I make scale models. Something different. But kinda the same
Definitely add a motor (probably directly to the propeller), and then some sort of fake-piston to fake-drive the lowest cog. My fav is the blue one but I love that they're all different. This is one of my fav projects on TH-cam. I'm inspired to brighten up my workshop.
Hi! Jim from Portland, Oregon again. I've commented once on this project already. Love the finished set! Just wanted to let you know that your work has been a great inspiration to me. I'm a long-time pizza cook by trade, but I've been an amateur carpenter and craftsman for my whole adult life. I find your videos entertaining as well as informative. I appreciate that you occasionally admit when you've made a mistake and then describe your efforts to ameliorate the issue. That hits close to home with me because I experiment a Lot. Looking forward to watching more of your work! J.
I agree you nailed the rusted effect on that cog,I think you definitely need a motor just so you can enjoy the sound of the gears meshing sounds like a grist mill at work. Nice work Pask.
I made a set if wood gears for a Mech eng school project. (Nothing compared to this.) Alot of fun. It blows you away when you have them all set up and doing work. Great job on the fit and finish of yours! Amazing work.
If you get one of those really large glass syringes that were used ages ago before disposable plastic ones, you can use the largest size of needle to make a caulk dispenser for small stuff. Works really well to detail things.
You sir, are a true artist, evidently, driven by perfection. Yes, ask some friends about using a pulley and electric motor to spin these gears without the laborious task of hand-spinning these. Great job!
Amazing! I have never seen of rusting paint before. One usually spends a lot of time removing rust. I must say the effect it makes is terrific! And yes, do add a motor. I would suggest a car windshield wiper motor but I think that would be too small and too noisy. Whatever motor you choose, may I suggest you mount it behind the wall in a sound-proofed box. Silently rotating gears and prop in your videos would be so cool!
i really dig how each cog turns at a diff speed..smaller cogs turn faster & vice versa..i agree with you Pask, my fave is also the rustiest of them all. your a fine craftsman, i wish i could do such magical things to anything i touched as you do.

I may have got carried away a little with this project but it really was fun! Although, I'm looking forward to making something else!
Any advice on adding a motor is very welcome. And I forgot to mention that the gear ratio is 1:5. :)
I encourage you to get even more carried away!
I have to say I like the one with the curved spokes, I dont know why, but it reminds me of Victorian Era flywheels
Absolutely Fantastic Craftsmanship and design Ingenuity! They’re all special in their own way!
Thanks for the free plans! Christmas is coming and it will make a great gift! Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵😷
Thank you so much for the free plans Mr. Pask.

I completely agree Jay. I said something very similar in his last video connected with this series
Glad you enjoyed it Jay! I'm definitely thinking of adding a motor! :)
Jay, exactly! He’s such a good teacher because he appears to be one of us. Although we know that’s not true! ;-)

It's super cool how you just decided to do this for the challenge and the love of woodworking. The end result is great 👍
This should be in a museum to educate "the kids" how things were used in the "olden Days". Spectacular work!
This whole project has been such a fun one to watch. You have an incredible mind and a lot of patience. Truly an inspiration!!
Favorites:
- blue cog as it suit the color scheme of your workshop
- full timber cog - it shows the tremendous care for details
Now you can add a pulley with a counterweight so you can make propeller move some air hands free, summer is coming!

I absolutely love the gizmosity of this project
Just an FYI, (I’m sure you already know) you can load windows 10 as a separate operating environment (even use an external drive to install to for space and application separation). That would allow you to run the Dos or windows apps and have the best of both worlds. Thanks for sharing your video, time and knowledge with us! This Texan tips his hat to you sir!
This man has mastered everything there is to master about woodworking. Great job on the gears
This is such a fantastic project, the raised lettering is simply awesome. Great job, fist bumps from Ontario, Canada :)
I like the blue one most. Has a nice industrial touch, looks like one of a cogs I see everyday at railway service at work on one of the machines.
Really cool project.

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. :)
You can also use wax from a candle, rubbed on, I've use it on old dresser drawers that slide on bare wood.
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.

The ultimate in “just because I can” Projects. Turned out fantastic.
Great project, great too see all the work come together.
I would suggest mounting them all on roller bearing thou. Otherwise that friction is a killer.
Perhaps you could try making a helical gear?😬
Again great stuff.
Thanks very much Joe! I thought at the start I should mount them with bearings but I was trying to keep it simple and thought I could always do that later on if it was needed. :)
I had a huge grin at the end, watching the whole assembly turning. Beautiful work, my (just barely!) favorite is the one with the blue hammer-finish.
That’s so beautiful really awesome
I don't know if this has a practical application but the craftsmanship is amazing! Well done.
Wow Neil! That's amazing. I love the fully rusted and labelled cog! Beautiful work.
YOU have turned the world from down under to upside down my friend !!!
What an amazing project that was... WOW !!!
So only thing left is a couple of hands for a giant clock and a motor built in to run off solar and you will have a large wooden clock for the shop! You have amazing patience and a wild ability to do repetitive work that is unmatched! From the gears to the kumiko you must be fantastic at large puzzles!!!

That blue one is an absolute stunner. Amazing all around.
I admire your patience. Building that installation, just for the sake of building it, as it serves no practical purpose, must have required a lot of determination and perseverance. Looks great too.
You made me very happy with this project Neil. Thank you very much for a thing of beauty with for no practical reason
I love the hammer finish one. And the water and spray paint method seems really useful, I'll have to try that one
I am late seeing this one...but you are SO talented and entertaining to watch and learn from. I am sure you have heard it many times, but you could be the most patient and dedicated person I have ever watched. Thank you for you videos!
What a great sculpture to show case your creativity! Excellent workmanship and a stupendous finished project.
This is the coolest project i've seen on youtube.
I am just fascinated with the rust on wood .... I am not a carpenter. I wish I was, I enjoy tinkering with wood, but lack the understanding (why I watch and enjoy your videos).

Well done again Neil. I prefer the gray and blue one. I've worker around old machinery most of my life and that one appeals to me.
The propeller and gears on the wall make an interesting and fun looking wall decoration.
Sorry, ich kann kein englisch. Ich finde das Projekt erstklassik. Diese Geduld sowas zu bauen würde ich nie aufbringen, Hut ab. Es sieht einfach fantastisch aus, die Zahnräder sehen wie echt aus Metall aus. Bin echt begeistert.
The fully rusted and the one with a natural finish are my favourites! Turned out amazing!
As soon as you made the first gear, I knew it would be used to spin the propeller. Great work! Your craftsmanship is stellar and your eye for making functional and beautiful woodworks is top notch
Awesome!!! This turned out fantastic!!! So well made!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I like the fact they all look so different, it looks really cool. What a back drop for your workshop.
They're all great. Awesome job. Put a motor on it. Will help ventilate the room
I love the full rusted affect and the hammered blue with rust affect they look fantastic 🤗🤗thanks for sharing🤗🤗
looks great i really like the blue one but the first one that you were turning is really cool too
every day you raise the bar a little more, beautiful and inspiring to see your work.
Seriously fun. I like the the way that each cog has it's own character.
A fantastic project, start to finish.
Unfinished, the cogs look good, but once you'd filled, sanded and painted, they look superb.
It never ceases to amaze me how work pieces that are being glued together are just bristling with clamps! ;-)
My favourite is the blue one. The bright weathered hammer finish looks 👌
That would be an incredible ceiling fan. There is just something about the noise of the gears that is soothing.
Neil, That's just brilliant. Great job and I suspect many don't realise that just because you make it look so easy, there's still a lot of work in all of that. Thanks for yet another series of entertaining videos.
@16:09 that little stencil transfer trick is ingenious!! I'm definitely going to have to give this a try. 👍👍
My favorite is the one with the hammered finished blue paint, it looks awesome.
This project is amazing, the craftsmanship and the attention to detail are top notch.

Thank you (again) for being a great inspiration and sharing your craft with the rest of us!!
Thanks very much - glad you enjoyed it! Btw I did make the smaller cogs from the off cuts. :)
Looks absolutely awesome. It makes such a nice centerpiece in the workshop.
If I may give a tip. Buy a bootle of graphite lubricant. The dusty stuff and apply it on the teeth when it is spinning. It will leave a metallic edge on the parts where it is touching.
That is what I use when I make scale models. Something different. But kinda the same
Turned out amazing! By far my favorite TH-cam channel!
What a phenomenal demonstration of unique skill!
IT WILL NEVER FLY!!!!!!! REGARDS RICHARD. LOOKS FANTASTIC..
Definitely add a motor (probably directly to the propeller), and then some sort of fake-piston to fake-drive the lowest cog.
My fav is the blue one but I love that they're all different. This is one of my fav projects on TH-cam. I'm inspired to brighten up my workshop.
That is amazing! Your persistence is admirable.

I agree you nailed the rusted effect on that cog,I think you definitely need a motor just so you can enjoy the sound of the gears meshing sounds like a grist mill at work. Nice work Pask.
Really really cool Pask. The fully rusted one is by far my favorite too. Looks amazing
I made a set if wood gears for a Mech eng school project. (Nothing compared to this.) Alot of fun. It blows you away when you have them all set up and doing work.
Great job on the fit and finish of yours! Amazing work.
The propeller alone would look good as a ceiling fan in the right environment. I liked the rust effect is a great-looking finish. Great few projects.
If you get one of those really large glass syringes that were used ages ago before disposable plastic ones, you can use the largest size of needle to make a caulk dispenser for small stuff. Works really well to detail things.
Loved the flaked of paint on the bottom right cog, but the rust on the last two gears look great as well!
You sir, are a true artist, evidently, driven by perfection. Yes, ask some friends about using a pulley and electric motor to spin these gears without the laborious task of hand-spinning these. Great job!
So brilliant. Thank you for taking us along on this project.
I think the cog at lower right is my favorite; the S-shaped spokes remind me of the limbs of Lord Shiva dancing. Bravo!
Agree with you. Full rusty one is my favourite too. Amazing work.
My favorite gear is the blue with the rust. Great project, very unique
What a great piece! And a fantastic sound when they’re running.
Amazing! I have never seen of rusting paint before. One usually spends a lot of time removing rust. I must say the effect it makes is terrific! And yes, do add a motor. I would suggest a car windshield wiper motor but I think that would be too small and too noisy. Whatever motor you choose, may I suggest you mount it behind the wall in a sound-proofed box. Silently rotating gears and prop in your videos would be so cool!
Loved that whole playlist! I couldn’t stop watching! Fantastic
That looks amazing!!!
Blue and rusted cog is my favorite!
Next project: Pask builds AND flies his own primary glider. Excellent result, mate. The weathered look was perfect.
Love it all! I agree with Andre keep loading them up and bearings would reduce the resistance.
Whimsical artsy crafty. Love it.
i really dig how each cog turns at a diff speed..smaller cogs turn faster & vice versa..i agree with you Pask, my fave is also the rustiest of them all. your a fine craftsman, i wish i could do such magical things to anything i touched as you do.
Great stuff, Neil!
Wonderful to watch come together.
Many thanks for posting.
