You already have a pile of gear there that needs to be put to good use. Don't scrap that project so easily yet. Just take a step back and rethink your approach. With what you have there you can still make this a very cool project. You may need to go a slightly different direction with your gearing or even your drive setup to accomplish your goal, but it is still possible to get her done.

Maybe a belt drive with a spring loaded clutch assembly, or like suggested my BrianG using an inline planetary gear setup to get your gear reduction would be a better choice. There has to be something that you can do to make it work fairly well. Don't give up on it yet.
