Quite a few people have asked me how I cut and smooth gear and clock wheel teeth. In this video I cover the how & why from start to finish. Scroll saw blade used, blade tension, blade breakage, safety, how to cut the pattern, sanding/filing and the particular scroll saw filing strips I use, are all covered.
This is how I have cut and smoothed all my gears... planetary gear drive, clock wheels, pin gear ring gear (in part), clock winder and the marble machine.

sir; I have learned more from you than my former shop teacher. Thank you.

@theecoinitiative7788 5 лет назад

Apart from all the wisdom shared, i'm amazed at the quality of the video considering it was produced 7 years ago. Overall 11/10

@TomKaren94 7 лет назад

This proves that one of the best tools a woodworker can have is patience.

@grantham418 12 лет назад

Very informative! The files were something I didn't know about, and after a Google search found two manufacturers. Thanks for another great demonstration.

@agrume69 11 лет назад

I'm really admirative... I'm not as patient as you are! That's the reason why I use a CNC machine. Allright, it is less artisanal, but I've no time to begin cutting tooth by tooth. I made it for a hand machine that blows air for a barbecue. But not for clocks! Thanks for your video and for your explanations about the process.

@zeejimi4044 4 года назад

This is the best video on youtube about making wooden gears using a scroll saw - thank you ! I now look forward now to making my first wooden clock..

@RonaldWalters2010 4 года назад

Thank you! I have quite a bit more on my channel that will be of interest to you as well. Hope you have subscribed. I highly recommend clock designs by Clayton Boyer.

@zeejimi4044 4 года назад

Ronald Walters Indeed I have subscribed to your channel, and I hope that things will soon start ticking in my workshop !

@RonaldWalters2010 4 года назад

An expensive suggestion that will make your life easier if you are serious about making good clocks. Nothing like giving yourself an early Christmas present. My best clock-making tools (and the most expensive). Finding the exact center of a template, marking it a bit deeper and then accurately drilling the holes. The flutes on these drill bits will draw blood (razor sharp). Treat these as prized possessions and stuff keep them locked up and out of reach of anyone else.

I have only seen a few of your videos but there is always a since of quality craftsmanship an pride in your projects as well as your video. i really enjoy the work you do keep it up

@FireguyNtx 12 лет назад

Awesome video. Very well done. Also thanks for reminding us that in fact the blade will break, its just a matter of time, and to be prepared. I have been engrossed in the delicacy of the operation and was startled and not ready for blade failure that it can ruin the work piece. Thanks again for the precision techniques displayed here.

@themunce1 9 лет назад

Something I will keep my eye on when I get to this process. Thank you for this tutorial.

@SiskinOnUTube 11 лет назад

I love your skill and work. It's an ambition to make a clock like that. I think I will eventually, but if I do, it will be thanks to good folks like yourself.

@DoAndBrewDIY 7 лет назад

Thanks very much Ron - really appreciate the tips! I'll check out your gear build videos tonight. Thanks! Mike

@zeratul575 11 лет назад

ron i love how you said, if its too tight its gonna break, if its too loose i6ts gonna break. i find it funny for some reason. and thanks for the great information on scroll saws

@JeremyCook 11 лет назад

Wow, I really admire the amount of patience you have to be able to do this by hand. Nice video!

@georgerobsmith2184 7 лет назад

@motormusic1 12 лет назад

Cool, you uploaded this on my birthday :) I'm simply amazed at your expertise...i found this video after watching an old video of how a watch works. I'd love to do what you do, but doubt i'd ever be able to in this life..

@paultanner2007 4 года назад

Extremely nice work!

@raspberrycrusader 8 лет назад

Superdooper video Ron. I had no idea that I could potentially mount an abrasive file in my scrollsaw and boy, how much easier does that make matters?! Your tips should help me make my first kinetic sculpture - when I finally choose a plan. Thank you.

@joeestes8114 7 лет назад

Great video! thanks for sharing!

@RonaldWalters2010 11 лет назад

Glad to hear you are making progress with your clock. Moving my workshop into another building has really delayed work on my projects and RU-vid videos. One day I may get an opportunity to do a video on making the small bits and pieces and their assembly, however it is at the bottom of a long list of projects. By then you will have already perfected the process and will be working on your second or third clock. :-)

@proatw 11 лет назад

I enjoyed this even though I don't work with wood, clocks or gears :) Nice vid !

@nurcitalestari 9 лет назад

tis is what i need mr.Ron ^^ thanks for the explaination

@jstubler 11 лет назад

Since belt sander paper is thicker it doesn't tear under light tention - I just cut a strip around 5" x 1/2", folded it in half long ways and mounted it just like it was a pinless blade. Used the same strip for about an hour last night with no problem. Maybe with the paper there is a radius but it's not detectable to the eye. Working on my first clock so time will tell :) After I saw your video I ordered some scroll saw files but haven't received them yet - looking forwared to testing them out.

@MrAk474life 8 лет назад

I dont know when I saw this video but I clicked on and Ive already liked it so

@RonaldWalters2010 11 лет назад

I guess you could make one. The gap in the one you see is from Delta and is made that way so the table can tilt and still have blade clearance. I liked the gap as I had a dust collector under the table and all the cut outs from the teeth disappeared through the slot and out the dust collector (handy). I sold this saw and now have an Excalibur.

@UberAlphaSirus 12 лет назад

Nice vid Ron. Didn't know about the sanding blades, I'm gonna look if I can get some in the UK. Good saftey advise too, scroll saws seem quite inocent to alot of people but alot safer than a bandsaw for the younger tribe, they don't have to lose a finger to easy to learn respect for a machine.

@FAKYR100 10 лет назад

Good work .

@edndonna3 11 лет назад

WOW.. I wonder if I have the patience to do that.. Really like video.

@daredevildarryl 12 лет назад

Good video.

@craftsmank 11 лет назад

hmm, ive cut quite a few gear teeth but always used a inch belt linisher, for cleaning up. Not as precise as the scroll saw file, but very efficient none the less. Thanks for the video and the information.

@technoshamanarchist 10 лет назад

I admire your fantastic work, and I can only imagine the patience required to make just one single gear. Such elegant pieces. By the way, 3M Spray Mount is great for sticking templates temporarily on wood like a post-it note :)

@AZYL2009 12 лет назад

GOOD WORK !

@ibrahimibrahim-px6yv 5 лет назад

@RonaldWalters2010 11 лет назад

Actually I have thought about making one. I have been looking at some of those made by myfordboy in the UK. He makes some neat stuff.

respect! i don't have that much patience..

@LifeofHim 10 лет назад

@JohnHeisz 12 лет назад

Ron, you got about 1000x more patience than i do - wayyy too many teeth for me. For the glue joint, maybe try another glue - we have LePage wood glue up here and it doesn't melt and gum up like Titebond. Not sure if you can get it down there or maybe if Elmer's is the same.

@tesla1961 11 лет назад

very nice thank you

@WootTootZoot 9 лет назад

On a Korg CA-20 tuner, I tighten blades to a D natural with the tuner set to A 440

@davidseabury3941 10 лет назад

Quite correct on all the things that would affect the tone switching between different blades. I was assuming the same blade as you recommended, same mfg, same teeth. If the thickness and length still vary too much after that, then I agree, one just has to break a few blades to learn the "feel" achieved by plucking the blade. Given the risk and damage caused by breakage, I was just looking for any way to reduce variables.

@PERRYS_PROPS 10 лет назад

Thanks, very nice

@Yaivenov 11 лет назад

Very nice video. I love the wooden clockwork mechanisms. A question for you though, I've been trying to figure out a way to do helical/herringbone gears with basic wood shop tooling, do you know a way to do that?

@RonaldWalters2010 11 лет назад

Very Good! You were paying attention. :-)

@RonaldWalters2010 12 лет назад

Matthias cuts a lot of gears on the band saw. Then it only makes sense to cut into a drilled hole if the design of the teeth allows you to do so.

@aisles23 11 лет назад

Man that's a cool clock!... Organic Clock should I call it? lol you could make a video showing all that you've done with wood!

@h7oslo 10 лет назад

Thank you Sir! Nice, informative vid. I've been trying to learn how to draw gears... very difficult! I should buy Matthias Wandel's program. Do you know if it will also draw elliptical gears? Thank you!

@cornfedtuber 9 лет назад

Some thoughts and questions born of ignorance (surely a curable condition) (:-) mark the locations of glue lines onto your paper pattern before gluing it down? I do not have experience with a scroll saw but have done some such cutting on a band saw. Would a plate with much less clearance help or even be practicable? For the bottom of the notch, why couldn't it be drilled out prior to cutting the notch out?

@RonaldWalters2010 11 лет назад

Worth a try.... something like plastic steel. Please let me know how it works.

@ahmedhamada5896 7 лет назад

اكثر من رائع thnk uooy

@RonaldWalters2010 11 лет назад

I have seen some ¼” sandpaper strips (which a friend had) with clamping ends. My impression was they wouldn’t last very long and the paper couldn’t be replaced. Also, when you pushed the workpiece into the sandpaper, it tended to sand a radius rather than a square surface. We were hesitant to over tighten the strips or they broke prematurely. I don’t know how I would clamp just sandpaper in my saw. Someone needs to invent some little clamps. How do you actually clamp the paper into your saw?

@jfk4032 11 лет назад

Hi Ron, Watching your videos gave me the inspiration to attempt my fist clock, Simplicity. I have almost all of the pieces cut and I made your circle sanding jig, and it works great. What would really help a newbie like me is to see how to assemble this clock. Could you please post a clip showing how it all fits together and any tips in assembling Simplicity with fabricating the arbors and other finishing elements. Many thanks, jfk4032

@honda02134 11 лет назад

Nice video :)

@hartfordboothe7466 11 лет назад

Ronald, nice video. Maybe a useful tip about the abrasive blades you use in the scroll saw. If the blades are just covered with epoxy and abrasive couldn't you re-coat the bare blades? I get some aluminum oxide (available in 70 and 220 grit from Horrible Freight for some glass etching and blasting which, with a suitable adhesive, could be used to easily re-coat those blades. In my experience, heat softens epoxy so...warm them up, scrape 'em clean, apply adhesive, sprinkle with adhesive. ?

@RonaldWalters2010 11 лет назад

Not sure what type templates you are referring to but Baltic Birch is good for just about everything. Thin templates can be made from hard board / temper board. Sorry for the late reply but your message got flagged as spam. Don't know why.

@RonaldWalters2010 11 лет назад

This video was shot when I still had my old Delta 40-540, which can be seen in more detail in my video Scroll Saw Dust Collection - Don't Breath The Dust. I since have upgraded to a 16 inch Excalibur, a far superior scroll saw which can be seen in my videos Christmas 3D Gingerbread Man Wood Ornament - Compound Cuts on the Scroll Saw and Christmas 3D Wood Ornaments - Compound Cuts on the Scroll Saw.

@jstubler 11 лет назад

Great tips! Have you tried using sand paper in your scroll saw instead of scroll saw files? I've cut 5" strips from belt sander sandpaper and clamped into the scroll saw - seems to work real well at sanding down to the line, and it's cheap.

@RonaldWalters2010 11 лет назад

Just so happens I have some belts that outlived their seam storage life. I’ll have to give it a try.

@FrankGegna 12 лет назад

You seems like Yoda of star wars!!....the video is great!..;)

@RonaldWalters2010 11 лет назад

That is a Delta 40-540 which I used for years. Lots of vibration and I had to do several repairs over the years. I don’t think it was intended for the type service I was asking of it. I have since sold the Delta and purchased an Excalibur, a very nice very well made saw but a bit expensive. A friend has the Dewalt DW778 and is very happy with it. Some of these seem expensive but buying a cheap saw and then throwing it away to go buy a good saw is really the most expensive approach.

@laphant1 12 лет назад

attention to detail...good vid..i learned...nice job...isnt it interesting how the turtle method slow and easy wins in situations like....sometimes i will us that blade like a file...too cool craftmanship..yes..i have a jewelers saw i use for tons of jobs...same seems to apply ..i usually cut metal

@rlewis1946 11 лет назад

Really enjoy your videos! Is there such a thing as a "zero clearance" insert for your Delta scroll saw? Thanks for making your videos!! Roy Lewis Buffalo, NY USA

@cortedemico 10 лет назад

Would routing a dowel rod, or glued piece, along it's spine, THEN slicing it, maybe after sanding along the groove, to make the gears be a better, or worse, route in your opinion?
