Others have addressed the question of how to make gears and sprockets, and I'm sure I have my share of comments in the referenced threads. But nobody has addressed your other question of how to put things together.
To do that you need to make an assembly model. The parts are then positioned relative to each other using constraints. If you do ALL of the tutorials, then they should eventually get to this (at least they did on I6). But if you are trying to find out how to do something, it often helps to know what that action is called.
