Nice mill. I certainly like mine.

Oh, yeah. Good job on the gear, too!

First time I've seen what looks like a right-hand Brown&Sharpe style head. Oh, and yes yes, nice gear. Smiley-dancenana

Try a bevel. Same cutter, but the head sits on the table at 45 degrees. Some easy directions in this book. Drop down the "contents" menu and pick page 68:

Hi Tom 
The Gear was built only to prove to myself I could do it.
It had no other purpose. It was a the first one and I was thrilled with the outcome of it.

Nice job. I think it needs a friend though.
