    Haha, for a second I thought you were gonna have a Clickspring moment when you cut the gears by hand. And then you used a CNC and I cheered :P
    If you wanted smoother gears, I would use a polymer like Delrin or UHMW PE. They have a lot less friction, are non absorbent, and will wear better over time.
    Also while you had access to a fab lab, I would recommend making a small drilling guide for center drilling dowels. When I was making my wooden lightsaber, I made a series of circles that I then stacked into a tube. At one end, I put a cap on it that had a hole drilled perfectly centered. The little jig slides over an appropriate sized dowel and holds your drill bit in place while you start the hole.

      Merci Winston, I love this. About the jig, it sounds great, would fix the centering for sure, but the rollers themselves are wobbly/unbalanced ... It's not that big of a problem when I am flattening over 10mm, but as soon as I get closer to 4 it does become a bit annoying.

One of the things i'd do on gears i wanted to be longer running but still cheaper than delrin is just get a big cheap bottle of ca glue and pour it on the teeth so they saturate a bit. Just make sure to keep running it slowly until the glue sets all the way :P it spreads the glue evenly and keeps them from seizing. It's kind of like tempering just the teeth :P

    Hy Alex. I learnd backer many jears ago. I rolled the laminated dough with a big hand-roller. This was hard work. The laminating-butter was to expensive for my boss, so we put the butter in the kneeding mashine and put some weetflour in. That bounds the water in the butter and you get good results with that method too. What is importend for laminated dough is, that the dough and the butter have the same consistency at the same Temprature. If this is not the case, the softer layer will be pushed to the outside and your layers will be poor and uneaven.

    If you want a straight roller and axis, you put a rod through and through, then you put that roller with the rod on a lathe, attached on both ends, and you machine the wood so that it's completely straight. En français : tu perces de part en part le bois avec une tige en métal, tu mets cette tige et le bois sur un tour, et tu usines le bois, ça va être parfaitement droit.

    If ToT isn’t t going to comment I will.
    The table needs to be supported on both ends. It rocks when you move it and that affects how the rollers perform. That is why you were having difficulty keeping the dough in a rectangle.
    The table itself should be wrapped in a clean muslin or cotton sheet that has been powdered in flour. That really improves texture and roller performance especially with soft doughs.

    Dough Sheeter 3.0 should have a little electric motor and two limit switches to make it go back and forth with just a simple switch turning it on. Doesn't have to be like the big pro one, but just something simple where you power it, it bounces back and forth, turn off, adjust, turn on. Amazing series though, using ingenuity to overcome hurdles. And make amazing croissants in the process. Keep up the awesome videos!

    AN idea for an improved version could be to use a CNC router to cut out a hole out of the sheeter board for a marble insert and replace the top roller with a marble roller. That way you could chill both parts in the fridge/freezer before use and there is no danger of heating the dough when rolling. Replace the gears with metal ones and use a bigger motor to drive them faster and you will be turning out croissants much faster, as well as other dough goods.
