Making a Wood Worm Gear - by HAND!

- I show you how to make a Wooden Worm Gear by Hand! This is part of my series on building a Wood and Glass Display Case for my TARAWA Diorama.
Welcome to episode 3 of the TARAWA Diorama Wood and Glass Display Case build. This week I solve the hand-crank turntable problem with a hand carved wooden worm-gear and drive gear for under the display case floor. I use hand tools, power tools, and my midi lathe to support this beautiful wood worm gear as I carve it.
I also build a brass and walnut hand-crank to turn the turntable inside the display case.
Thank you very much for watching, I hope you enjoy this video as much as I did making it for you!
Bill.

Instead of going hi-tech for my failed turntable issue this week, I went old-tech, and made my own worm-gear and drive gear from wood, and they work great!! I hope you like the video, and appreciate your comments!! Bill
Отличная работа друг 😊я давно искал то что ты сделал на видео , сейчас люди разучились работать руками ,а ведь это прекрасный инструмент для изготовление любых вещей уникальных .Украина Киев .
Wow, the worm gear is a work of art in itself........fantastic work 👍
Thanks CW!! I made one years ago for a toy and it was such a cool process I was excited to make this one.
Fantastic work . I see in previous videos you had so much tools around and see know how much you are able to use them . Well done !
Thank you World History Miniatures house!! I am a much more practiced woodworker than model builder, but its more difficult due to bad knees and back, but I enjoy doing it in moderation.
@@ScaleModelCraft I do understand that . Wish you a nice week , Robert
@@worldhistoryminiatureshous9757 Thanks Robert!!
Wow, great job... beautiful work , excellent video. Almost everything I make uses wooden gears and is hand cranked. So I must say..."top notch work my good man keep it up"!!!!!
Thanks very much Planetary Motion!! I have seen some of your work and I'm humbled by your comments, you are a master at kinetic woodwork!!!
Beautiful. Love that wood for the gear. Love the brass work and the handle. You are a craftsman for sure. Not sure why this doesn't have more views.
Thanks Knowledge Is Kings!!! Im not sure either, but I am happy you had the chance to see it!!! Wishing you a great day and hope to see you again!!! Bill
I think that handmade gearing is a much more elegant solution than the previous idea. And your woodworking skills are a joy to watch. I really hope that you get some more subs etc. as your videos are very well put together, and really very enjoyable to watch. Looking forward to seeing the next instalment of this! All the best. Gav
Thanks Gav!! I appreciate that very much. I have a bunch left to do on it so at least a couple more videos on it.... Bill
Great video Bill. Your work is mind blowing.
Thanks Scott, This was the second one of these I ever made, I made another one years ago for a toy I made for my niece, and when the other idea fell over, I thought of this. Thanks again Scott!!! Bill
Sir. You are a genius
You are the right person I need to ask. I have asked a dozen people including engineers nut no one could explain except Bundy beers
Which is the smoother steering gear of the two worm and roller or worn and nut. Please let me know
Thank you Safecarsforyou!! I appreciate the compliment, but alas, I am but a humble woodworker and model maker and I have no background to give you a proper answer. I sure do hope you find what you are looking for!!! Take care, Bill
Thank you Bill. Your humility will lift you up. I thought about it the whole night and have concluded that the worm and roller is the more efficient over the worm a nut because the hour glass shape of the worm causes the variable steering ratio. The ratio is greater at the middle of the worm, the efficiency is lesser that's when the wheels are straight but as you turn the steering wheel to the right or the left the flaring ends of the hour glass shaped worm come into contact with the roller amd the steering ratio decreases and the efficiency increases that's not the case with the worm and nut ( recirculating ball bearing) where the ratio is constant and the efficiency is also constant. So my conclusion is that the worm and roller is more dependable as you have better control when you drive straight at high speeds and better efficiency when you maneuver while parking, turning or when making u turns.comnon sense tells us that the principle of bearings is for smooth encounter as the friction reduces as the contact area decreases .so worm and nut is the smoother of the two ,ideal for heavy suvs trucks and buses but for passenger cars other than small hatch backs and any transverse engine set up where only rack and pinion is the only steering gear possible ,in all other set ups such as a straight engine rear wheel drive the worm and roller is the best
Hi Safecarsforyou!!! I didn't realize they had the tapered ends to vary the turning ratio the further from centerline, but as you explained it, it does make sense. I've been fascinated with the early open wheeled F-1 cars from the 30-60's, and have wanted to build a Cyclecart styled like one for years.
So cool!
Thanks Chip!!!
You and gears. Amazing. I did have a thought when you set the diorama in place. Kinda afraid to say. Oh well you can just quit cooking for my kid. Bill any thoughts about the outside of the diorama itself. Something?? Sorry
Thanks Guy! I have some work to do on the diorama, it’s pretty much done, but I have thongs I still want to add, including an outer cover for the diorama itself.
Clever, creative...and superb, truly superb!! 👍👍👍
Thanks Phil!! Im having a great time working on it!!
Just found your channel, love it! I LOVE IT! Great videos, great inspiration
Thanks nijhuus!!! I'm so glad you found my channel!!! If you have any questions please ask, I am very happy to answer questions. Take care, Bill
@@ScaleModelCraft In the comming weeks i hope te recreate your turntable idea and display box. Never thought of the idea of a turntable controlled bij hand! First i need to rearrange my shop 😅 Once again, great channel!
@@nijhuus thanks nijhuus!!! It was a fun build and while not too complicated, it was challenging. If you have any questions about the way I did it please ask and I will be happy to respond. Looking forward to seeing how it goes!!! Bill
Great job and video. Can you do away with the irritating music though! We come to these to learn not be entertained with something that distracts from the information.
Thanks Kenvsnow!! I really like this video, and as oddly as its may sound, I sort of agree with you on the music. At the time I thought it was perfect, but it's a bit slow for what I'm doing. Great feedback, I really like putting music to my video's, so we will see what I can find for the future ones. Take Care, Bill
