Back to proper jobs

At last a bit of time to just turn what I fancy. One of my cordless drills expired in a cloud of smoke and I took it apart, as one does, to see if it was fixable. Nope - a melted mess.

The gearbox looked interesting so I wondered if I could incorporate any of the metal bits into a turning. Cut some box. Turned a spigot for the gear and just sort of let it develop from there with no preconceived idea of where it would end up.

I now am unable to decide if I prefer it with or without the gear. Its not fixed so whoever buys it can choose.

I suppose its a gearbox now!!
