Ouch! Nice little divot on the ol' thumb there.
One small mercy...you had a shot of it whilst still in one piece.
Not like the old days.

cheers, Mark.

Oh mercy..I think i learned that lesson in a similar fashion when I was about nine dismantling a dead wind up alarm clock. Thankfully a much smaller movement but it still had a fairly energetic spring. Take care of yourself mate.

Yeah, pretty dumb really, I should know better, fortunately I got away with a couple of cuts and a scratch on my glasses.

Anyway, good news is it's easy enough to find matching drives - for what I'm doing the ratio isn't super important. Fair bit of fiddling and working out required now, but I think it's going to work. If nothing else I've got lots of decorative stuff to work with now, but I'd like to have some gear meshing going on.

[Sonic Mountain]

Just mucking around to see how it will look. I think it fits the brief now.

It will probably be a fair bit different in the end - I'll need to work out a mounting system not only to attach them to the pots, but also so they stay properly meshed. So I'll use some of the existing brass bracketry for that and modify it I think. We shall see how it evolves. Lots of options to choose from so I'll wait until I'm sure before I go shopping off spindles etc.

At least you can say you put some blood and tears into this one. ;-D

Looking fab, love those tentacles, I applauded the time and blisters that have gone into them
