I consider myself pretty open to hack jobs, but this one just does not make sense. You can find a super-cheap stamped cog for about $11. There is no way you will save $11 in materials, grief, failure, and work with any of these plans. Cheap cogs suck. But a cheap cog will be infinitely better than any work-around.
