Glad to see another video! Thank you.

@erniecamhan Год назад

Great video, more like this please, was it intentional that the blued area made the dial centre looked like Antarctica 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Glad to see a new video, very nice work on the clock face. Always harder to finish work started by some one else, they have there way of doing a job and you have yours. Both work but we get set in our way of doing a job, some times you have to use there way to finish the job. Keep up the good work, hope to see more videos soon.

Would have enjoyed your video somewhat more if I hadn’t just spent 10 mins figuring out why my bracket in the other room just struck “3” @ 10 to 5 😂.Good to see you back, great work as always 👍

Great video. That's a lovely skeleton clock with the grasshopper escapement (W R Smith I believe). I made the John Wilding Congreve clock back in the mid 80's so I will be watching the Knacklers Workshop on their build. Unfortunately the Congreve clock is not a very good time keeper but I assume that the grasshopper skeleton clock will be a really good timekeeper. I would love to build another "brass" clock but I no longer have access to a decent workshop. I have built some wooden clocks that work ok.

@TommyJobson 2 года назад

Thanks, you are correct it is a W R Smith design. As it happens the timekeeping with the compound pendulum is not very good at all, I think it’s partly down to the escape wheel being HUGE compared to the size of the compound pendulum.

@allanrichards3752 2 года назад

@@TommyJobson Hi, I know the WR Smith clock because I studied the grasshopper escapement design for one of my wooden wall clocks. I didn't have a lot of success with the two escapement wheels and in the end went with one in-between the diameter of the two. I also went with a "normal" pendulum. I think the double one is to make the clock look like the early Harrison clocks.

@clockhappy7387 2 года назад

really enjoy watching you work... an experienced eye, a deep understanding of what's going on (or what's supposed to be going on), and constant reminders to go carefully, slowly and one step at a time.

Nice work Tommy! Always a pleasure to watch your videos.

@torsiondell 2 года назад

Very nice job as usual, looks like you have a Pultra in the background,I have a 17/70 lovely solid lathe.

@Cor97 5 месяцев назад

Looking at the dial, it seems to me that the width of the inner ring should be slightly less than the width of the outer ring, to make it visibibly more pleasing. Did you consider this? Or was my idea not such a good idea to begin width?

@thomaslizon2594 5 месяцев назад

Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing. Im just wondering if the orientation of the numbers on that dial is common (flipping 4,5 and 7,8). Thank you

@bfx8185 2 года назад

Really great work. It's pity I can't find some of those nice machines anymore :( Thx 👍

@TheKnacklersWorkshop 2 года назад

Hello Tommy, Good to have you back on our screens and nice to see some BCA action. I noticed that the clamps you used on the BCA, one had some tape on and the other did not, was there a reason for that? Also, many thanks for the shout out that was very kind of you. Take care. Paul,,

@TommyJobson Год назад

The tape was left over from a previous job and had no relevance.

@coatesy106 Год назад

I am planning to get involved with clock restoration and have been watching your videos with interest. On this video you use a BCA jig borer, is this a good machine to get for 'life' . Are excessories easy to find? I would think it be good, if you did a video on your workshop setup and the pros and cons of the various machines and what you would consider the most essential machine as apposed nice to have or have you already done one?

@jeffreyyoung4104 Год назад

Hey Tommy! Are you using antistatic work mats?

@theselectiveluddite 2 года назад

Nice vid. Tommy. In the section on 'Re-Cut Escape Wheel', the pinion has two sets of severe wear dints, at two different depths. Would this indicate that the wheel meshing with it has been moved longitudinally to an unworn area and is due for another move? Does this mean that the pinion is on the soft side? Interested in the problem solving :) Cheers Duncan

@TommyJobson 2 года назад

Correct on all fronts.
