Cutting wooden gears with a jigsaw and a simple homemade setup

The ever industrious Matthias Wandel has uploaded a great video showing how to cut wooden gears with a jigsaw mounted in an easy-to-make fixture. Admittedly, a band saw or scroll saw is a bit better suited to this task because they can cut curves so well. Nevertheless, he achieves good results with the jig saw and his homemade setup.

Here is the page in his web site with detailed photos showing the process of cutting wood gears with a jigsaw.
