"Jobson, what is best in life?" "To work on a clock, see it driven before you, and hear the ticking of its movement"

Top man. Remember time flys like an arrow and fruit fly like a Banana.😂

Thank you once again, Tommy, for taking the time to create these very well filmed and informative videos. They are very much appreciated.

Thanks for the wonderful video it's amazing how some repairers can butcher the plate when re bushing, still it's a lovely looking clock. Thanks mate. Jim from AUSTRALIA 😊❤.

If the clock movement I had been working on had no hole in the fusse and had power on, I would make sure all the pivots had plenty of oil so to help with the running down and not cause wear. Lovely video Tommy.

Beautiful video, thanks for taking the time and care to present these so very well (and without deafening background music and annoying editing). Very impressive.

Thanks for the answer Tommy, I already bought the book. I will study further :) Great clock. I hope to take care of my Abraham Weston soon. Regards

Looking forward to the next part Tommy. I agree with you about the scratches they are also apart of the history.

Nice clock and should be interesting to see it progress.

I love Fusee movements!

@nigellee1856 Год назад

Do you buy or make your cast brass. if you buy where do you get it from?

@TommyJobson Год назад

I buy it. There is a foundry in the UK who make it.

@romanmechetnerful Год назад

Why not just run the barrel down with a key ? It has the pretension ratchet that I use to run the wind down on a pocket watch, this looks like the same. Maybe try that in the future, just a suggestion.

@TommyJobson Год назад

Because a fusee spring at full wind is extremely powerful and it would be very easy to slip and cause the power to 'bang'. That would potentially damage the great wheel and or centre pinion and may cause injury. Better to do it slowly and carefully.

@romanmechetnerful Год назад

@Tommy Jobson of course one would use a key to control the wind down, not just let it go.

@TommyJobson Год назад

Of course, it's the key slipping that I was referring to.
