Making a sprocket for bicycle chain the way Clickspring wouldn’t

EDIT: 2 years later I have completed the project I needed to make sprockets for. I had a need for 8 tooth sprockets and worked out a design after examining a few different sized sprockets salvaged from bicycles. I made one from Aluminium off camera and then I stepped up to 3mm thick steel. This isn’t for a bicycle, I don’t expect it to work on one and you shouldn’t either :) Originally I thought I would have to get something like this CNC cut, but I got pretty good results with basic tools. You could probably lay out the design on the steel with dividers but I find using printouts easier. more details on the project at Love your work Chris!
