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.
As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

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.
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.
Yes
I'm not sure either Mike but glad you enjoyed it! :)
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!
What a sick man. Makes 2 of us.🤗
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)
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! ;-)
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!!!
That would be very cool!
Thanks! I thought about driving it from the other end but I like the small man idea! :)
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.
Thanks very much June and thanks for all your support! :)
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.
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. 😀
Glad you liked them all Gro and glad you enjoyed the video! :)
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 .
Thanks very much Wayne! :)
I like that blue cog it just all looks so industrial and well used
Nice, I can't say I could pick a favorite. They are all great.
Thanks Charlie - Glad you like them! :)
My favorite is the one I'm watching at the time.
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.
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. 👍🙋♀️
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 turned out a absolutely amazing. What a wonderful art installation to have in your shop!
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.)
Thanks very much Vickie! :)
This whole project has been such a fun one to watch. You have an incredible mind and a lot of patience. Truly an inspiration!!
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!
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. 👍🏻👍🏻👏
Thanks very much Ian and glad you enjoyed it! :)
Very cool project(s)! Lots of tips and tricks for other projects as well. Parts of this series look like they may have been a little tedious to get thru, so thanks for sharing all this. Thumbs up!
That is truly inspiring and beautiful! One of my favorite projects I've ever seen. It's just so perfect!
This is such a fantastic project, the raised lettering is simply awesome. Great job, fist bumps from Ontario, Canada :)
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!
Thanks very much Lawerence! :)
Your detailing skill is amazing, but it is your patience I find myself admiring with many of your projects and this one was no exception. Just an absolute joy to watch your creativeness come alive. Thanks very much for sharing!
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
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.
yes with a prop at both ends
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.
Thanks very much! I've been thinking of doing exactly that. :)
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 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.
This should be in a museum to educate "the kids" how things were used in the "olden Days". Spectacular work!
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.
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.
That’s so beautiful really awesome
Positively brilliant! 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!
What an amazing amount of work but the result is just so fantastic! I love the first cog that you turn to animate the whole piece. The rust paint is really effective. Just the paint work alone is impressive! This has to be my favorite piece you've made!!
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.
Epic Neil - bloody marvellous! You never cease to amaze me what you come up with and what you can make work. Well done 👍
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.
Great stuff, Neil!
Wonderful to watch come together.
Many thanks for posting.
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.
Such a fun and cool project! Your videos are always at the top of my watch list!
Neil this is such an epic build with so many ops and techniques applied with tenacity and Verve. Your stamina and attention to detail are inspiring as always! Thank You for sharing your immense talents and skills!
Brilliant piece of work. A proper labour of love, well done for another great video and project.
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!
Gorgeous. Ingenious methodology throughout. Super impressed.
Wow Neil! That's amazing. I love the fully rusted and labelled cog! Beautiful work.
Just amazing!! Wonderful originality and the methods you used to make it all work are a huge inspiration! Can’t wait to see what you do next.
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!!
Thanks very much - glad you enjoyed it! Btw I did make the smaller cogs from the off cuts. :)
Looks and works amazingly. Super cool to watch all the progress.
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
I like the fact they all look so different, it looks really cool. What a back drop for your workshop.
Always a treat watching your woodworking videos, but this was something else. Seeing you engage in some scenic painting was truly a delight. I hope you tap into that world again later.
Cheers!
The result is so inspiring ! Thank for sharing !
Loved that whole playlist! I couldn’t stop watching! Fantastic
Thanks for the free plans! And congrats on an awesome project!
They all look over the top man your videos are a treat to watch keep it up you do fantastic work
I love the full rusted affect and the hammered blue with rust affect they look fantastic 🤗🤗thanks for sharing🤗🤗
This project has been so incredibly awesome to watch. Really enjoying it and how it’s turned out. Kudos! Well done as always!
What a wonderful project, and a TON of work. As I'm partial to hammer tone finishes, the one with the blue makes it for me. But all of them look wonderful. 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!
Neil, you are amazing sir. Thank you for all the educational and entertainment videos you post. 🙏🏻
So brilliant. Thank you for taking us along on this project.
Always blown away by how great your projects look (and are). Thanks for taking us on (building) trip!
This has been an absolutely amazing project! I always enjoy your videos, but the creativity and ideas in this one have been something special! Well done.
Awesome!!! This turned out fantastic!!! So well made!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Amazing work, not surprised you’re ready for the next project after all that routing!! Just got your bench plans, thanks a million 😃
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.
YOU have turned the world from down under to upside down my friend !!!
What an amazing project that was... WOW !!!
You made me very happy with this project Neil. Thank you very much for a thing of beauty with for no practical reason
That is amazing! Your persistence is admirable.
The fully rusted and the one with a natural finish are my favourites! Turned out amazing!
Absolutely amazing! What a beautiful piece of work! Thank you for sharing!
Turned out amazing! By far my favorite TH-cam channel!
Absolutely fantastic, you are a very creative person and your videos are a pleasure to watch.
Incredible work as always. Huge props! (Badum tsch). I really love the fully rusted one too, the fine details like the caulking to bevel the inside edges and make it look cast really make the difference. And of course the lettering. Very clever method to get the letter placement correct too!
Amazing job, Neil. Looks and works great. Well done!
What a great sculpture to show case your creativity! Excellent workmanship and a stupendous finished project.
What a great project, you are always on your A game. Thanks for the video
What a great piece! And a fantastic sound when they’re running.
That was one hell of a mini series and well worth watching.It’s such a master piece. I never doubted you at all I knew it would work. Awesome job mate.
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.
It looks great Neil. Nice project & some very interesting & entertaining videos. Thanks for sharing them. All the best.
They All Are awesome! I love how you successfully made them look like old iron machinery. As always, fantastic work. I cannot wait to see the next video from Australia.
Wow! Just the amount of patience needed is admirable! Very well done. It turned out absolutely beautifully!
Complete lunacy and absolutely brilliant, well done Neil 👏👏👏. Regards Jim UK.
Wow! That came out so great!
excellent series and an amazing end result. Thanks for sharing
I absolutely loved all of these videos. What a fantastic project!
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.
What a cool effect at the end, such a fun looking project. Well done!
Great job Neal! I don't have a favourite cog. They all have their own "personality".
Sunday mornings are always great when there is a new Pask Makes video to watch!
Congratulations what a cool project. I admire your patience and perseverance. Completely understand you want to get into something different
That is really cool. I definitely like the cog with your name on it the best. It really does look like a metal cog. The sound when all the gears are moving is pretty cool too. You don't hear big machinery sounds like that very often anymore.
Brilliant, Awesome and Amazing! They all look great but I like the one where you went the extra mile and added you name. One should always sign there work. Kudos!!
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!!
You've done it again Neil. As usual, it started with an idea that most of us wouldn't even think of, then turns into a work of art. All the very best to you and yours.
What a phenomenal demonstration of unique skill!
Super Fantastic Excellent work
The Rostefect is brilliant.
I really like it.
That was certainly a lot of work.
Many thanks for showing it
What a cool and fun project and what an eye for detail. well done!
Chuffing’ awesome. How you find the patience to finish these projects is beyond me. You asked for opinions on favourites, difficult, but I would have to go for the hammertone blue one. The blue in conjunction with the rust effect…brilliant. Thanks mate.
Amazing accomplishment! Truly shows your abilities and gives you singularity as a maker.!! Well done sir .
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.
This project is amazing, the craftsmanship and the attention to detail are top notch.
