with those gears out of the way, started in on the tops. did a bit of tweaking the feeds, speeds, and passes, and finally hit the sweet spot on all of the runs. 3 more sets, then on to the bases.

Can you imagine cutting those gears with a scroll saw and all the other parts on your bandsaw?

well, it took it's dear sweet time, but, it made it's appearance. i had finished the next to the last one, got the pockets done on the last one, reset the number of passes, and the speed for the profile cut. all was going well, until pop wanted to tell me something about the one neighbor lady (she passed the other day, at 101 1/2). within 10 seconds, and it being almost half way through the first profile, i heard that awful sound of binding, and the damage you see was caused in the 10 seconds it took for me to run in and hit the emergency stop. got a new blank cut, and working on the pockets, hopefully there will be no distractions...
