Does your Clock need Bushings 

And thank you for taking the time to watch the videos Daniel De

Thank you so much, God Bless

Thank you so much

@@justmike57 you welcome

Thank you Will

Thanks N.D.T.

Thank you Mark. I know my videos are long, but normally a regular person will only click on a video it they have a clock like or close to this clock. I try to teach/help others fix their clock or at least understand what the clock is suppose to do in case they might have a problem with their clock. Thanks so much for the great comment and hope to see you again on the next video. God Bless.

@@justmike57 - 😊it was actually meant to be a compliment - apologies for the misunderstanding... I was trying to say that this one is short, to the point, and great quality information. Great job! I really enjoyed it :)

Thank you Mark.

Thank you so much Nightcore Kipo

Mark gets into the bushing part. I did a video on bushings, but made is short because most people can't or wont try doing their own. They only have one clock. The one day cuckoo clocks can get buy with a lot more slop than an eight day clock. The last video I did a bushing on was a very old Rail Road clock, I showed the play I missed when putting it together and the clock would just stop ticking. The plates were so think, the the hole looked good, but it you looked close, the pivot was worn inside the plate and not on the outside.

Now wouldn't that be something. I would love to show of my plaque if RU-vid gave me one.

You have a great Thanksgiving my friend.

They call this time under your belt. Sometimes it's a little scary to try something new. But the saving the money part also gives a good drive to try it.

My Darling Kathleen. You are one out of 100 that likes the ticking of a clock. Hoping your Thanksgiving goes well for you and enjoy life around you. God Bless and have a great day.

This is what some people do because it just sounds overwhelming too them.

I got your email and after looking for a set of reamers, I see they are sold out unless you wanted to buy 1 at a time that would get really expensive. Check out Ronell.com and Timesaver.com.

I hear most clock shops will not work on cuckoo clocks. They are not worth their time. Thanks for watching Bob. Happy Thanksgiving.

New clocks don't have bushings. When the brass plates start to wear, then you have to install a new brass bushing to keep the gear in place. I have never had an interest in working on watches. Too small and my fingers wouldn't fit in their little cases, lol. Thanks for watching Bat.

I already sent the movement back to the lady to install in her cuckoo clock. Thanks for watching Mark.

I could, but might have to get ordering some more bushings. I don't check my Email as often as I should, and my email address is below the video Doyle Trentham

The tool isn't cheap, but this is a link for them at Timesavers. timesavers.com/i-8948895-kwm-style-hand-reamer-set.html A cheaper way to do the job is using The Cutting Broach Set that come in different sizes.

Email below the video if you are interested in this. I don't check the email all the time, but from time to time I do look at it.

This clock was well used and not just thrown in the garage for most of it's life. Seeing that it needed bushings did make me happy to know the clock was used.

The 35, one day clocks are forgiving. The 34, 8 day clocks are not. Yes, just one pivot that is bad can stop your clock.

I just gave a few basics for an idea on what you might need to do a bushing install. But anything is better than nothing. Thanks for watching Rob.

Happy Thanksgiving my Friend.

Thank you so much Kratai. You have a blessed, Thanksgiving if your area does that and a wonderful week. God Bless

@@justmike57 HI MORNING AND WELCOME HAVE A GOOOOOOOOD DAY TOOOO

If you do decide to get into bushing work, The cheapest tool would be the Diamond Broach cutter. I use them along with my heavier cutters once I have the bushing in place.

Thanks so much John Ames. God Bless and Happy Thanksgiving.

I do believe you are a bit critical for not understanding what type of people I have come to my channel. You, as an expert know all about this work. I, on the other hand didn't want to do this video, but am always asked about the bushings. My video was very vague and warned people that there is a high cost in buying the tools just for one clock. I do have followers that have a few clocks, but most only have one or two and they click on the clock that might look similar too their clock. As a hobbies t, I do watch videos on what to look for and how to ream them by hand, but did you notice I didn't show me reaming out the hole. The egg shaped hole I know when to push and when not to push the reamer and for a one day clock, it's good enough. The snail cam I don't like to show taking off because the novice will bend and scare the cam and I would rather work around it so the people know it is Okay to do so. I don't have all the nice tools to work on clocks, but I have enough to get me by and add to the tools in time but will never buy costly tools that would not make séance to buy when it is just a hobby and work on mainly my own clocks. I do hope you understand where I am coming from and the people I have that watch my videos. (I mean, if they don't find what they are looking for in this video, there are many more out there).

There is a chance, it would be cheaper to buy a new movement, but on some clocks the Movement would be important to have the original to keep the value of the clock going up. Thanks for watching Heritage Farms Texas and Happy Thanksgiving. God Bless
