    This is great, and I love that the cogs are all interlocking. I just waned to mention, though, that the interlocking is definitely not necessary, the only thing that is necessary is getting the last cog in the chain to be reoriented 180 degrees from the first cog in the chain. The interlocking just hides the twist really well. :)
