"I decided that this rosewood will have to fade out on its own over time"......That was one of the best tips from this video. My first instinct would've been to sand everything and make it all look the same for the client, but you did the smart thing with the future in mind :) As always, thanks for sharing

@johnsonrestoration 7 лет назад

You're welcome! And you're right, years ago I would have felt like I had to refinish the entire piece to match the one area that had to be sanded. Now I want to leave as much intact, and not worry about it.

And each time I appreciate your work even more Tom. a lot of other "Pro's" would not have taken the time to pull it apart, cut.sand refit it the way you did, they would have just glued and clamped it and probably with yellow glue too!. not keeping with the traditional Hide Glue. The painstaking time and craftsmanship is undeniably superb !. Thanks again for taking the time to show us and share.

Just discovered your channel and subscribed immediately! Nice to hear these clocks being measured in fractions of an inch.. (not metric!) We have a Scottish 8 day long case clock (Bell, Aberdeen) with a painted dial. I had the base reinforced about 40 years ago with an internal wooden bracing structure that protrudes downward below the base by about a quarter of an inch - so that it takes the weight rather than the case. It keeps time to within about 2 mins/week. When I look at all the features, I date it from 1780-1790.. Beautiful clocks and I've never tired of owning it - in fact, the opposite. Looking forward to browsing here.. Well done!

@jazzman1626 2 года назад

This marvellous video makes me want to build a long case clock. It’s fascinating to watch your skills. I could watch this kind of video all day. I am very surprised to see that the sides of the case are not made of thick wood, with dovetail joints, but only glued and nailed. I watched a guy build a long case clock using wood at least twice, maybe three times as thick as this one and when he lifted the hood on, I thought he was going to really struggle to lift it. He wasn’t a young guy either. I’d love to make a long case out of plywood, using glue blocks and nails.

@johnsonrestoration 2 года назад

Thanks! These clocks are appealing! These cases were not made well. What was important was the clock. The cases were built by sub contractors, most likely the cheapest bid. They look beautiful, but they are all just a bunch of boards nailed together

@jazzman1626 2 года назад

@@johnsonrestoration Thanks for the reply. The only thing I’ve restored to any extent is a bagpipe carrying case. It has a leather (hard as iron now) handle which, at first I was going to replace, but couldn’t find one like it so I cleaned the metal parts up and it’s fine now. The case is plywood and it had three layers of paint on it, one of which was emulsion and I had to scrape that off using a wire brush because the heat gun obviously wouldn’t have been any good there. After a good sanding, I just stained it mahogany and any deep scratches etc. were just keeping its hundred year old look. The inside was just bare wood but I lined it with foam padded Black Watch Tartan because the pipes were from the 11BTN. Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders and played in the Somme. I’m really pleased with the result.
