    This was great fun to watch. I was wondering if you had ever considered making a router jig for cutting your gear teeth instead of using the band saw. By the way-your band cutting is amazingly good. Makes me want to get mine set up again.

      At 18:38, he starts testing the counter by counting up by one. But the sequence in the video appears to be 1, 2, 7, 8, 9... Which as we know, is _not_ how to properly count up by one. I have a feeling that Matthias edited that shot so cleanly on purpose to fool the viewer momentarily.

  • @quesadillaman34
    @quesadillaman34 7 років тому +1

    Fun build! It would be really easy to add a "reset to zero" lever. You would have to have a lever that disengages the connecting axle (the one with the small gears), letting the big wheels rotate freely. Also a weighting system that pressures the blocks into rotating to the 0 position? So as long as the gears are engaged the weighting has no effect, but when you disengage them they roll back to zero naturally? IDK how you would account for the wheels rolling back and forth.. maybe friction? That would get in the way of normal use though..
    How is this done in existing mechanisms?

    Just so you know, you are half the reason I want to get more into woodworking, to do pointless but awesome shit like this. (Well, not necessarily pointless, but it's more of a novelty than a utility to build a counter out of wood.) Though it would be cool to build a wood counter that is attached to a wheel to do distance measuring in like the yard or something, those things are more expensive than if you just built one out of scrap wood.

    You should strap a rubber band of each side of the lever, so when you let go it goes back to the middle, and also makes it so you only need to push with one finger, and it will make it overall more stable.

      I imagine you could attack it to some sort of odometer. Say you move a stick with a wheel of known circumference along the road. Then each time it makes a complete revolution it could make the counter count. You could fix this on a vehicle like a sort of bike, and the counter would count how many times your wheel has turned. This again tells you how far you have traveled.
