Thanks Almus, I spoke with Blueridge on some other parts mostly
handles & division collars (measurement - not sure of the correct
term)... Not inexpensive. I thought there might be another

There is a video that shows how to make gears with a hobb. I forgot
the name of the guy who does it. I have a copy of the thing.
Not very professional in regards to the editting, but the
overall content and information is excellent. The video/dvd
is available from Littlemachineshop....Myabe the guy's
name is Jose Rodriguez ?? You need a mill + HV rotary table
and it shows you how to make the calculations, and then
make a hobb then make the gears. I have watched the video
and nothing portrayed is too complicated. I have not
made any gears yet...If I had to do it I could but
I try to avoid mission creep; Where you start out needing
a widget, then before you know it you are making a tool to
make a tool to make a tool so you can make the widget.
On the other hand I have heard that Boston gear has a tremendous
selection of gears and you can get something and then modify it.
It has been a while since I have looked at the Boston gear
catalog.
Blue Ridge is crazy expensive for some stuff...for the prices
they charge you can practically find someone to make stuff custom
for you.
