Sam,
 
Like most home shop hobbyists, I have a "junk box."  I'm sure there  are 
some gears and other cute parts which you might covet.  Do you  have specific 
needs, or are you just interested in transferring the contents of  my junk 
box to your junk box?  Do you fancy big stuff, or little stuff,  like 
clockworks?
 
Pat

Welcome  Pat.  


I am also  new to Make Lehigh Valley.


My interest  is in making Steam Punk Art/paraphernalia. I'm looking for  
brass/copper/bronze things things with metal gears. I can electro plate copper 
 over iron so iron gears are fine.


I'm also  interested in working with PMC. Someone had said something about 
investing in  a kiln. I would be interested in helping with that.

Let me introduce myself to the list.
 
I am a retired USAF officer with degrees in aero engineering and  mecha
nical engineering, plus an MBA.  I have tools and projects related  to 
metalworking -- lathe, mill, welding, etc.
 
I found this list while searching for a part for a Sears garage door  
opener, and found that I was not alone in seeking a pat that Sears no longer  has 
available.  (81C14)  Following that lead, I found that a  MakeLehigh lister 
had arranged to replicate the part using a 3D  printer.
 
So, there was a convergence of my real-world need for a gear, and my  
latest obsession -- 3D printers.  I hope this goes far beyond my need  for a 
little gear, and on to a lively discussion roup interested in all  applications 
of new technology.
 
Pat
