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!

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 .
You said it! There's still plenty of "woodworking" that's required when using a CNC. The folks that don't know better just assume that you put a log on the CNC, hit start, and 30minutes later it's a chair.
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.
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.👽
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!
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!
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!
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!
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
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....
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! 👍
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.
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
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 ☺
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!
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?
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.
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.
Only if you're lucky. I've had times when the tear-out is beyond the diameter of the roundover. It's a good habit to get into to do it like I demonstrated in the video.
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!👊
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.
I almost did but the problem is how the gears spin at different speeds. I could really slow it all down and make one revolution take 1hr and then just put numbers around the end but then you lose so much of the magic because it's so satisfying to see the gears turn together.
@@FishersShop Oh wow! I wasn't even thinking that way. That's a lot cooler than my thought of "replace the flat head screw with a 2-hand clock mechanism". Good point on the slow speed, that would've taken away the magic for sure. Thanks for the reply and the content!
Please can you produce a full size plan of this for download, i for one don’t have access to a CNC machine but could cut it out with a bandsaw and fretsaw? Thank.
This is one of the best projects you've done. I love your content and talent. Are you going to sell or provide the vector for the large gear? I would love to make one myself.
Nah, I wasn't planning on it. But you can get other nautilus vectors online if you didn't want to design it yourself. I'll add some links in the description

Thanks Drew.
You bet
Awesome project Drew!!
Makes me want to go out and purchase a CNC machine.
You should!
Mesmerizing!!!!
Right? :)
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.
I thought so too! Originally, I was going to make the base big enough where they didn't, but then I decided against it in the end. Glad I did
Love it! I've always been intrigued by gears, too.
Right?
Love your work as always my brother! Great job!
Much appreciated!
This was another great video done by you!!
Thanks again!
Of course

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?
Hehe, I'm thinking I'd probably see less of the marriage counselor if I didn't take her toothbrush.
Hope you feel better, Drew.

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.
I thought of that and you're right... it's easier in the center. But I still think the gears would strip out after a bit and didn't want to risk it
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.
Only if you're lucky. I've had times when the tear-out is beyond the diameter of the roundover. It's a good habit to get into to do it like I demonstrated in the video.
The game controller was a nice touch 🤣🤪
You have a talent. To create something like that is just amazing.
Well thanks! :)
TOTALLY enthralled with the Fibonacci formula and the appearance of them in all sorts of places in nature. They are everywhere large to small.
