Hi Everett, Although I had not knuckled down to make the clock, it has given me a focus to get machines up and running. A lot of the clock is purely mechanical and then there is the clock part... it just seems a good project to learn and or reawaken many skills. Thanks for visiting. Take care. Paul,,

This is fantastic Paul. You are well set up for this kind of thing now. I love the mantra, and I heard it in a previous episode, but I think I might have to adopt it too. It's great to get things done, and much more satisfying putting a video out showing some hard work being done, and some passion shown. I can't wait to see you dig into this project! (I would have mentioned this in the email, but only just saw the vid! :) )

@john2478 2 года назад

Hi Paul Nice to see that others are still entranced by 18/19c Horology. I made one of these clocks back in 1982 and it was quite a show piece. I sold it at Sotheby's for a good price and it funded my purchase of a ML7. You will have fun polishing all the brass and making/polishing and blueing all the screws! As an encouragement mine ran quite well, but the timekeeping was affected by the build up of dirt and corrosion on the edges of the ball track. However it is really the appeal of the ball running down the track rather than the timekeeping that matters. I shall watch your efforts with interest. John

@TheKnacklersWorkshop 2 года назад

Hello John, How kind of you to watch and comment... It is interesting to hear that you have made one... I am hopeful that once complete I will have learnt a lot along the way. I am a little nervous knowing that you and Lance & Patrick (Active Atom) will be marking my homework - lol. Take care. Paul,,

@@TheKnacklersWorkshop that's a might task Paul! I really envy your confidence and ability to buy shed loads of brass 😂 Coming from maintenance in heavy engineering, I also have a touch of envy for taking the time to make something like this. I'm still in the mindset of " Get production running" its "£8000 per hour downtime" I still rush things, cant help it and cant walk away until its complete🙄

@SteamerEdge 2 года назад

Hi Paul , look forward to following this series of videos with great interest. The Congreve Clock puts me in mind of my favourite 1960 novel "Trustee from the Toolroom " by Neville Shute in which the hero is a Model Engineer by the name of Keith Stewart. In the novel, the Congreve clock is one of his Designs. This is a highly entertaining book and, in my opinion, a must read for all Model Engineers. I re-read this book when ever I feel like a pick-me -up :-)) cheers P

@TheKnacklersWorkshop 2 года назад

Hello SE, Many thanks for dropping by... The clock will be a little challenging as I have never done anything like this before but a rather cool way to get a Congreve Clock. I have just order "Trustee from the Toolroom" and hopefully it will inspire me during the challenging times. Take care. Paul,,

@Jims-Workshop 2 года назад

Wow, that's quite an ambitious project. There is a Congreve clock in a clock shop near me that is very similar to the one in your video. I think I stood and watched it for like 15 minutes. I will be following along with this build.

Great project, and definately quite daunting. But well within your capability I'm sure, looking at your vids. I'm having a go at making a congreve at the moment, generally to Mr Wildings design. It's proceeding surprisingly well so far, but I'm still on the "easy" bits; frame plates, motion plates, pillars and finials. Best wishes, looking forward to seeing the build of this.

Hello Colin, Many thanks for watching the video and commenting. I agree it is quite a piece of work. My first job was to get some of my old fixer-upper machines going before getting going on the clock.

@Edmonpool 28 дней назад

Hello Paul, I'm wondering if you intend to go ahead with this project as I have just completed "roughing" one, i.e., it's completed but not finished as in polished and on a proper stand, only to find that the ball doesn't roll all that freely and the table doesn't always fully index but stops part way through. I would like to see where I've gone wrong by comparing it to yours, especially if you include a fine tuning episode.

@TheKnacklersWorkshop 20 дней назад

Hello, Sorry for the slowness to reply... Great to hear that you've been making a Congreve Clock, I have to admit mine has not progress very far at all.
