Trying to figure out what it is :laughing: Let’s see… thread it on a long stick and whack someone with it ?

To be honest I don’t really know how it would be used. There wasn’t any indication in the book I was working from. So I guess you have the best guess.

It is a clevis fastner.

Yes. I guess it is, of some sort. As it is shown in the old book it’s not easily opened. I suppose I could replace the pin with something that is more easily removed and installed.

Like a shackle settup? screw post? Maybe with a cotter pin?

Love hardware. Love that you are doing these from old books.

O.k. Just having a little fun with my earlier post. It’s some type of
Clevis Fork. My curiosity is what it was used on. Have never seen one with the small drive in retaining pin???

A 108 tooth spur gear from around the same time as the handle, above. Modeled entirely with native tools.

6x1 6 equals …
That’s the advantage of using arrays of components as well.

(I should have typed 6x18 equals…)

Or 6x18 in this case. :wink:

Not wanting to be negative but I have to mention that according to statistics people are divided about that.

Couldn’t sleep so I decided to make my spur gear a little more fancy.

And it’s still 3D printable.
