You can scribe a gear (straight cut teeth) on a piece of brass. Use a hacksaw to cut off the bulk of the material, a drill to bore out the shaft hole, and then a file to shave everything down to the final shape. Very time consuming, but it will work non the less.

Have you investigated gear hobbing? It is not high tech.
