Hi Tommy, Well I have caught up on the Vlogs... If you have not already done it, it would be great to see the re-drilling on the Schaublin. Take care. Paul,,

@TommyJobson 2 года назад

I'll try and catch that on a future vlog for you.

Nice work on the escape wheel and arbor on that 8 day chronometer! The detent is looking great too. Keen to see this one come together! Cheers for the shoutout too! Reuben

@TommyJobson 2 года назад

Thanks. The detent is a difficult job, but I think the escape wheel was one of the more taxing tasks I have ever done.

The quality of those previous repairs gives me hope that I can do better for a first go :-) I bought a clock just to practice repivoting on before doing 'the real thing' on a 1950's clock

@TommyJobson 2 года назад

I know, the things people have done in the past! Good luck with your clock, I'm sure you will be just fine.

Tommy, can you recommend any books or (free) "educational" horological sites on inspecting, repairing, troubleshooting clocks? I inherited a shelf or mantle clock that my great grandmother had, so it could be 125+ years old, though not a valuable one other than sentimental value. When my grandson was smaller, he ignored our instructions (to _not_ touch) and over-wound the clock, breaking the spring which broke out the side of the wood case. I'll either have to repair or replace the spring, even if I have to make it. I suspect that there is a lot of wear, especially since it had to be an inexpensive clock. I have absolutely no skill as a Clock Repairman, yet, but the only "real" repairman around here went out of business years ago, so I want to learn enough to carefully inspect, disassemble, adjust, repair, etc., the clock to get it working again (especially since my grandson is now over 30!). Any affordable books, sites, videos, etc., that you are willing to recommend will be greatly appreciated! I have a small (over-crowded) workshop with a ~5-inch (swing) by ~12-inch lathe, a mill-drill, and basic hand tools, including a couple of sets of so-called "jeweler's screwdrivers," "Swiss-type" files, etc. If any resources show decent photos or drawings of clock repair tools/fixtures/etc., I'm certain that I could make most(?) of what I would need, since I don't plan to start a clock repair business (meaning I don't have to be "time efficient" with what I do for this clock).

There are quite a few great books out there, but I think I have the perfect person for you. Head over to ru-vid.com/show-UCq25FhgQkNLeNJOBcw9BOlA Matthew Reads' clock repair channel. He has published an accompanying book which holds your hand on a first time clock repair. Hope this helps. Have fun!

Please, more of doing instead of what I have done.

@TommyJobson 2 года назад

Noted, but the idea behind the vlog is to give regular updates on the work as it happens. Sometimes I will be able to show a process but the process videos take far more time to film and edit. I'm not going to stop doing my normal videos though don't worry!
