Thanks for sharing! I second that safety note, on my lathe my motor is belt driven so a crash results in the belt slipping. A gear driven lathe might cause some damage if all the parts are "hard", having said that it might be possible to build a overload sensor that would trip quickly if there is a crash to retain some safety. Hope that makes sense.

P.S. i think the capt is fine, looks like he is just making an aluminium copy of a steel gear.
