I was listening to a fellow on 40M AM the other morning and he was 
addressing some gears that his QSO partner was getting made. He uses a 
100W laser machine and does some excellent work.  I wonder if he could 
cut some 60 wpm gear sets and would be glad to talk with him about it 
the next time i hear him on the air.  What was the material that those 
white gears were made from?  Some kind of plastic or fiber?  He 
mentioned making gears from something similar.  apparently he is some 
sort of Machinist and lives about 250 miles NW of me.  But would it be 
worth the exercise to see if he could do it?  Make both the big and 
small motor pinion as he was mentioning that the gear he was fabricating 
had quite fine teeth on it.

I can't remember his call sign for some reason, maybe i'll hear him on 
the air again as he had a booming signal into my QTH.
