I think someone needs to cut themselves a little bit of slack... Dude, you made *gears* in a shop that's not set up for that kind of work, and on the first test run of those gears meshing, you turned one gear (the driving gear) and the driven gear moved... I know a few machinists with pretty expensive gear who would struggle with that. You did it with no dividing head, no mill, just a bandsaw and a hand-file. You're doing this better than I expected, far better than I expected to be honest. You "only" did gears in this video, but that's a LOT to accomplish with a bandsaw and hand files. Relax, you're killing this and making it look easy, and I know it isn't.
I've been one of Chris's viewers for a while. Still, it's impressive, but it just seems more impressive in this vid because Nathan doesn't have an obvious background in machining and clockmaking (that I'm aware of).
have you very make gear or had to fix a gear to get the gear reducer up and running when you have no choice to do it I have the weather sucked big time to when down to -50 the night and the rig had to run if not would freeze up and the job would be lost we take the gearbox apart to see how bad it was inside liveable for the weather we have been having the gear was creaked and 2 teeth are missing no word from the office to see what they want to do about it have both crews up this time they made sure the rig would not freeze up we asked them to try to fix it here and fail or just fail now they said to fix it and cross the path when the time comes tig weld the creak in the gear and the slowly started to make the gear to 12 hours later the rig was running we run 3 days with that repair due to the gear new box did come and did get the job complete after that and will do hit oil we took a big challenge we send the box back to Edmonton the millwrights were amazed at how well it worked they have it in there shop still that well did pay off very well we kept drilling after we hit the depth that they said it was 5 more pipe we push down and there it was I had my first year welding then they did help me get to mine 4 years thing were happing I was not very comfortable at the time to work with the company was not the company it was me had a life choice I made and needed to be done I am now a red seal welder by the trades have my life back on track as well too it twists as hard now than before welding is still a guy thing here and does not like to be shown up by a girls welders for me as a transgender as well that is why I lift that campany I was trasition
Man I gotta hand it to you. All of the things that you have hand made up to this point are normally machined to such a specific degree (which is why they cost what they do) it's out of the realm of possibility for the every day human. But you've managed a successful run at them. It's been such a pleasure to watch. Thank you for doing what you do. I thought the baits you made were spectacular. Diving into the older videos has been an eye opener. One of my favorite channels on all of the UA-cams. Thank you
That was a great idea to work within your tools as well as recognizing that it was necessary to change plans. The project looks awesome so far and you can see how much thought you have put into it!
A lot of comments stating "you should do this" and stuff. I like that you are challenging yourself to work with what you have as much as possible and doing it on your own. The creative process is fascinating this way.
I think you did awesome man! Seriously, you didn't even have the right tools and not only made the gears with what you had available but you filed out every single one those teeth by hand and then made it WORK! It's not "just making gears" a fishing reel is very complex and you're doing so well even when you didn't have the tools you still did it and in my opinion it was pretty entertaining to watch. In fact it was so entertaining that I totally forgot about the length of the video! Don't be so hard on yourself! Your fishing reel is already so cool and I hope that when it's ready it will catch lots of fish! Can't wait for the next part! Don't give up and take your time.
I was checking UA-cam every day to see when you'd put this up! Happy to see it, and can't wait for more. You could've just torn down the reel you were basing this off of and used those gears, but you chose to make them yourself! That's some kind of diligence and tenacity right there.
Your humour is always on point and content is always quality. Thanks for giving us this consistently better and awesome content. A happy patreon as always.
Love your videos! The craftsmanship is always impressive, but even more than that it's the problem solving and critical thinking skills that really stand out. Making those gears looks maddening, for example, but you keep pushing forward. Great job!
You're definitely a true maker/craftsman/artist. If I tried a project like this, I wouldn't even think of fabricating gears. I'd probably cheat and hack open an old reel to use its internals.
I respect the patience and the attention with all of your projects and I'm not ashamed to say I learn something new every video I watch, kudos to you man, the reel will be flawless !
Ive been so invested watching this little series. Its just so impressive and fun to watch. And this episode is just so cool. You used such limited tools to make this and i live for it. Amazing work
Hey I’m all the way in South Africa. I love your channel. I learn a lot from it. I also started lure making and love how you make yours. Thanks a million for the videos
Great watch as usual bud. I made a Scarborough center pin reel at school and i,v copied a lot of tackle instead of buying it over the years,but never tried making a Fixed spool reel......Keep up the great work.
you really are a very talented man. I came across your channel by accident a couple of months ago and have been a fan ever since. Keep up the great work.
Please wear safety glasses, Nate. My old shop teacher lost an eye while working on a wood turning lathe. He had neglected to wear eye protection that day.
I didnt have the proper tools for a project, i used a dremel with a cut off wheel to cut thru a bunch of steel, you can be very precise. Maybe give that a try on the brass?
Been waiting for this video to drop bud, well done in getting the problem solved. I think the bail will be tricky, but stick with it you'll get there pal. I can't wait for the final result, and no matter how long it takes I'll be watching and waiting. 👌🎣👍
Interesting project for sure. I really think you should make the gears out of brass. The lexan will surely break and or wear in out in short order. Make a tooth cutter to the exact shape you want and make a jig to hold the brass disks and make the gears that way. It will work out way better then lexan. If you are scared of the brass flying off the lathe, you can use any brass threaded screw and bolt it on and even solder it together for that effort if that makes you feel better. JMHO
Thanks for these videos. I love seeing craftsman solve various problems with the tools at hand. You are not onky a craftsman but an artist. I am envious of your ability to use colors, no matter how fine of work I will be able to produce in the future, I will never be able to use the color pallet like you. From personal experience, when you use the lathe try dropping the fence a little so you have more upward angle with your chisel. The chisel dosnt get pulled into the work as much leaving an easier to achieve smoth finish since it cuts down in vibration. For a long time I would set up my lathe like you untill I started screwing with oak cups. One slip of the chisel on those and the whole damn thing can explode.
Hey, if Swedwoods can make a rod and spinning reels with sticks I have no doubt that you will be able to make a wooden reel! You can do it, I can't wait to see it finished!
I know the reel isn't going to be for general use but it might be wise to use a weak glue to bond the gears to the shaft, it'll be much easier to re-glue a loose gear than it will be to re-cut a chewed up one when you put some load on the drive train. Polycarbonate might be extremely impact resistant but it's still a soft material so adding a built in failure point that will release before the gears start eating each other might save you some headaches
Suggestion for gear cutting on your bandsaw. Cut one face on all the cogs / teeth / splines /whatever, then position for the other face. It will make the cuts cleaner, reducing time cleaning up with a file. It will speed up the cuts also by letting you find smoother rhythm as you go.
I wonder if you could make a jig for cutting the gears with a reciprocating saw and a file in the place of the blade, then have a fence so the gear can only cut in so far and the same turning mechanism that you used on the band saw
about the brass... if you really wanna give it a go... try a bimetal hole saw with the drill press to make the initial disk... the rest is the same but all harder...
When you broke out the brass I thought for sure you were going to make the crude bent teeth, finger like, gears. Nope. You went the way harder route which requires way more patience than I have. Good on you! Looking forward to seeing how this all goes together.
This reel will eventually be far more cherished by someone than any Stella. Love watching your craftsmanship at work.
Love seeing someone who doesn't give up.
I think someone needs to cut themselves a little bit of slack... Dude, you made *gears* in a shop that's not set up for that kind of work, and on the first test run of those gears meshing, you turned one gear (the driving gear) and the driven gear moved...

have you very make gear or had to fix a gear to get the gear reducer up and running when you have no choice to do it I have the weather sucked big time to when down to -50 the night and the rig had to run if not would freeze up and the job would be lost
we take the gearbox apart to see how bad it was inside liveable for the weather we have been having the gear was creaked and 2 teeth are missing no word from the office to see what they want to do about it have both crews up this time they made sure the rig would not freeze up we asked them to try to fix it here and fail or just fail now they said to fix it and cross the path when the time comes tig weld the creak in the gear and the slowly started to make the gear to 12 hours later the rig was running
we run 3 days with that repair due to the gear new box did come and did get the job complete after that and will do hit oil we took a big challenge we send the box back to Edmonton the millwrights were amazed at how well it worked they have it in there shop still that well did pay off very well we kept drilling after we hit the depth that they said it was 5 more pipe we push down and there it was I had my first year welding then they did help me get to mine 4 years thing were happing I was not very comfortable at the time to work with the company was not the company it was me had a life choice I made and needed to be done I am now a red seal welder by the trades have my life back on track as well too it twists as hard now than before welding is still a guy thing here and does not like to be shown up by a girls welders for me as a transgender as well that is why I lift that campany I was trasition
@@jenniferwhite6089 please use punctuation
Talk about adapt and overcome! Get those metal working tools and you’ll be making a mini submarine! Great job Mr Marling!
I applaud your hard work. Take your time, make it as good as you can. We all love watching your expert craftsmanship.
Don't give up. The true sign of a craftsman is when they make a tool, just like you did.
Man I gotta hand it to you. All of the things that you have hand made up to this point are normally machined to such a specific degree (which is why they cost what they do) it's out of the realm of possibility for the every day human.

Easy like Sunday morning! Looking forward to part 4!
Cast your gears out of brass. Make them out of wood. Form a mold then cast out of brass.
Not going to lie ... I'm impressed with well you pulled these gears off.
This is such an awesome build!!!! I can't wait to see the finished product!!!
The reel is coming together perfectly!
And the jig looks like a homemade clothpin
That was a great idea to work within your tools as well as recognizing that it was necessary to change plans. The project looks awesome so far and you can see how much thought you have put into it!
Short but interesting. You have a lot of patience. Respect
Wow. Looks like a lot of tedious work. looks awesome so far. Cant wait for the next part.
Bro u 're just a genius
Thank you for this fantastic series👍
I think this is a great project. Anyone who makes things by hand is a beauty
I have been waiting on this video. Your wood work and creativity is amazing.
Details are important. The gears look clean cant wait for the next update. Keep up the great work
Your dedication is downright admirable. Good luck and I have full confidence that you'll have that thing working in under like maybe 2 months.
Really enjoy watching you work. Thanks for sharing.
My favorite series from my favorite youtuber. Good luck with those gears, seems daunting....
Huge props successfully making gears on a bandsaw like that, on your first try too. really looking forward to the rest of the reel.
It is getting close! Can't wait for the next one! Cheers and have a nice one!
Love the process of the everthing!!
Woooah the John krasinski of fishing can't wait till it's finished mate
I'm drunk as HELL and seeing this in my sub box was beyond exciting. Thanks for this entertaining project!
Awesome video of making the Wooden Fishing reel I can’t wait for the next video Marling Baits !! Cheers William !!
You're doing amazing work. Great to watch.

Don't give up and take your time.
Bro seriously, you are a genius. Thank you for constantly inspiring me man!
Just watching you work is the best thing on earth
Great job, I was really looking forward for this video. Can't wait until the next one!
I was checking UA-cam every day to see when you'd put this up! Happy to see it, and can't wait for more.

jewelers metal saw and some files - just takes time. :)
Wow you put so much effort into you work and u explain it to us step bye step an always solve any problem with ease a true legend :)

Great idea with the jig for the gears!
Finally some good flipping content on UA-cam
Becoming one of my favourite UA-camrs
So much intricate work with those gears !!
Great Job so far .. looking forward to the next instalments !!
Brilliant !!
That jig with wing nut on it was a genius idea, bro. So good!
I have been just sitting waiting for the part 3. Haven't seen it yet, but it's garunteed to be good
More quality work to watch fun to watch the engineering behind this.
Love your videos! The craftsmanship is always impressive, but even more than that it's the problem solving and critical thinking skills that really stand out. Making those gears looks maddening, for example, but you keep pushing forward. Great job!
That is badass to say the least love watching your videos can't wait to see it finished
You're definitely a true maker/craftsman/artist. If I tried a project like this, I wouldn't even think of fabricating gears. I'd probably cheat and hack open an old reel to use its internals.
Very cool so far Nate! Very smart to decide to switch to plexiglass and cool idea for the jig to cut teeth
I respect the patience and the attention with all of your projects and I'm not ashamed to say I learn something new every video I watch, kudos to you man, the reel will be flawless !
cant wait to see that thing catch a fish!
“Not just not wearing your safety goggles dangerous but......” Love the dig!!!!!!
That gear cutting jig was amazing
9:53 “Not expecting much” sums up my day to day college life
Ahhhh, I was hoping to see the completed reel! lol. I can imagine how tedious it was making those gears though!
Ive been so invested watching this little series. Its just so impressive and fun to watch. And this episode is just so cool. You used such limited tools to make this and i live for it. Amazing work
Really enjoying this project.
Can't wait for the finish project
That was a really neat idea to keep the cuts level, and it worked pretty great too.
Love to see the progress
Hey I’m all the way in South Africa. I love your channel. I learn a lot from it. I also started lure making and love how you make yours. Thanks a million for the videos
I can't wait to see it finished. Looks awesome so far
Thank God. I've been super excited for this video. Well worth the wait. Keep it up, bud! Go Pats!
YES i love this series
Great watch as usual bud. I made a Scarborough center pin reel at school and i,v copied a lot of tackle instead of buying it over the years,but never tried making a Fixed spool reel......Keep up the great work.
Keep up the amazing work
Had a Grizzly bench lathe and it exceeded my expectations. Great job on those gears with what you had to work with!
you really are a very talented man. I came across your channel by accident a couple of months ago and have been a fan ever since. Keep up the great work.
Very good
Take your time marling, you definitely have a lot more patience then me. And the reel is looking good. Can't wait to see you fishing with it.
Bravo, quel boulot, j'ai hâte de voir le résultat final.
Looking cool. Great job. Have you considered maybe making a mold out of them when your done so you can cast replacement parts?
Cant wait to see this reel finish🤣 make a final part soon
I've been super excited to watch this, honestly all of these videos are art
Heckin cool
Please wear safety glasses, Nate. My old shop teacher lost an eye while working on a wood turning lathe. He had neglected to wear eye protection that day.
DID HE EVER FIND IT🙊
I wish my school had a shop class.
So excited to see the end result
i like what you do on your channel and i am learning from your vids
ThisOldTony has some cool videos on making gears.
MrArcher0 came here to say this. @ThisOldTony would be perfect for this
Finally I’ve been waiting for part 3!!!! Hopefully part 4 is tomorrow or in the next few days
I didnt have the proper tools for a project, i used a dremel with a cut off wheel to cut thru a bunch of steel, you can be very precise. Maybe give that a try on the brass?
keep it up I'm enjoying the ride can't wait for finished reel
Someone send this man a CNC mill. He deserves it!
Love the indexer you made for your gears, it was awesome!! Love the video keep it coming!!!
Good Job!! Sorry I do not speak English very well but your work is amazing!!
Been waiting for this video to drop bud, well done in getting the problem solved.
I think the bail will be tricky, but stick with it you'll get there pal. I can't wait for the final result, and no matter how long it takes I'll be watching and waiting. 👌🎣👍

Awesome video man! That reel is going to turn out sick man!
This Old Tony just did a video on making gears that might be worth a watch for you.
