<DIV>Sam,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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?</DIV>

<DIV>Let me introduce myself to the list.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am a retired USAF officer with degrees in aero engineering and
mechanical engineering, plus an MBA. I have tools and projects related
to metalworking -- lathe, mill, welding, etc.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
