I'm not sure how he did it, but in 2005 (probably many earlier versions as well, though I'm not sure) there is the toolbox that has a lot of premade gears. When I did mine I modeled the blank with an extruded circle. Then I opened the gear with the pitch and number of teeth I wanted and copied the 'tooth cut' sketch then pasted it on my blank. Cut extrude, circular repeat. Add extra modelling (cuts for cutting down on weight, slipper pad cuts) and you're done. There is probably a better way to do it, but this way is pretty easy.
