Hi guys, I'm in another wierd situation and I find when I'm stuck in wierd situations it's best to turn to CPF /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I am doing an Arts and Crafts project at school. Actually it's for Math. We're making wind chimes. I was thinking I'd make something that lit up but then in the shower I decited I'd rather make something with a gear theme instead! Only problem is where the heck do you get a gear? I looked around on eBay a little and can resort to that if it comes down to that, but I thought I'd try here first.
I need 3 gears. One larger one (4-6" Diameter) and 2 smaller ones. The large one goes at the top and the chimes hang off it, 1 smaller one will be the clapper and 1 will be the wind catch.
Does somebody out there have connections to a machine shop that might be able to provide me with an irregular gear or 3? Something that looks decent but doesn't meet manufacturing tolerencies...
Any other suggestions of how to source one??
