Clay gears would likely not work well. They'd be very uneven and probably just grind each other off. Wooden gears would be more feasible (which look very different) but that also would require tools for higher precision. And if we go the gears route, he might as well would use a water wheel to power the whole thing instead of doing it my hand.
