RabidAlien Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 Okay, okay, I'm a sucker for gears. Especially gears that do something. I'm a big fan of steampunk/dieselpunk but really dislike how some folks just glue random gears all over things and call it steampunk. They need to be FUNCTIONAL!!! Or at least appear functional. This pattern came in one of Steve Good's daily newsletters the other day, and I had to bump it to the top of my to-be-cut pile. Note: read the instructions several times before drilling pilot holes. Silly me missed the part where the front spinny-piece was to be stack cut. That's a LOT of pilot holes to re-drill, even if the original holes made it easier. Yep, this one was fun to cut. Gears and frame are 1/2" whiteboard, chunks left over from another project. 1/4" ply for the front piece. Stains are Minwax, "Honey" and "Natural" for the dark and the light (respectively), and some teal rattlecan spray for the backer, left over from another project for my wife. Gives it a pop of color.
