I find the 1000 day mainspring much easier to deal with than the typical 400 day.

Really helpful and easy to follow. Thanks

Hi Derek, I have watched all the videos, I will start tomorrow with my Kaiser Universe, I had no idea how the pendulum worked, I didn't know that its weight was inside the base. As always you make a great contribution to all of us who love this profession, in my case I will remain an eternal apprentice. Greetings !

Very useful, seems a better way of mounting a chuck. The boffins at Pultra clearly put that thread and taper on the spindle for a reason. Strangely all the Pultra chucks I've come across use the draw tube mount.

0.0025mm :) , not too shabby for hand winding a slide

Very clever and skilful.

Hi Derek, I always watch your videos, all very interesting. I am now repairing a Badische three ball and I have fitted the hairspring as the book says but the clock is still running too fast. It is probably that the book is not very clear on those anniversary clocks from the 1900's ? I have adjusted it but it is still overtaking. Is it caused by a thick hairspring even though the book says so? Should I look for a thinner hairspring? What would be the cause of the advance and how can I solve it ? Thank you very much Derek, your contribution is very valuable !

Another great video Derek. 973 subscribers you are getting there. Once you reach 1K subscribers you tubes algorithm will show your videos more. Keep these types of videos coming and you will be there soon my friend. God bless you and yours.

Very useful and informative, thanks.

Good job Derek. Great explanation. Thanks for sharing your wisdom my friend.

Very nice video. Nice setup. Happy new year

I watched your video on mounting a new pivot into the abour. I have two arbours where the small pivot has broken and come out. Do you know where I can get pivot wire to make a new pivot. By the way, I broke them by taking a short cut and trying the install the anchor by loosening the plate rather than removing it. Stupid mistake! Thanks

Thanks Derek - really interesting.

Very good job. Love when people think outside the box. Keep up the great work and you will have your 1k subscribers soon. God bless you and yours.

Another great job Derek. You make things look so simple. Quick question that I am pretty sure that I know the answer to but want to ask the expert. Why do you put the angle in the arbor. Is that to ensure end shake? God bless you and yours. May 2025 bring you all the joy, love, and business that you need.

Thanks Dell. Fascinating.

Well done. Good idea.

Hello. My string is out, the big one for same clock. Can you repair mine . I am in Grenoble France. Regards. Bernard

Easier to use, and safer also...

Very nice work, and very helpful video.

Great job Derek. I understand the problem with holding small items. Keep up the great work. God bless and Merry Christmas.

They look just the job, nice work.

A really helpful video Derek

Thats nice.I have the. same problem, arthritis stops me being able to close my hands right tight. I got a plastic needle file handle that is good too, and about £3.50

This is a great restoration series, a real Xmas present for anyone wanting a bit of advice and encouragement on how to clean and rebuild one of these useful and well made lathes. You deserve many thanks for taking the time and effort to film this.

Great job. Needle stays still. So says that it is running true. God bless you and yours.

Another informative video Derek. God bless you and yours.

You are very talented Derek. God gave you a magnificent gift my friend. God bless you and yours.

Another great video Derek. Magnificent work. Wished I had your knowledge my friend. God bless you and yours.

Another great video Derek. Keep it up. God bless you and yours. Hope that you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years. May 2025 bring you all the peace, joy, business, and love that you want.

Those sight glasses are excellent, great work.

Very interesting. Can you tell me where you can buy the wick?

Love your work Dell

I heard of this being done, but didn't know just how it was done. Thank you.

More than excellent ! This is just what we need to see, Pultra headstocks are not too complicated, but in the absence of much information about them, people do find them a bit daunting. Top marks for filming this.

Looks great!

I am adding an ELS to my ML10 and took inspiration from you for the setup of the components, very neat; could you give details about your Multifix style toolpost too?

What motor?

Derek, I have inherited one of these clocks. It was my grandmother's. The torsion spring assembly is missing. Do you have access to or can you advise me on a replacement for it. Not sure of the diameter or length of pendulum cable that is needed.

OK, an explanation that finally actually fixed my problem. Thank you sir.

Thank you! I just used the technique for determining in beat you described at about 2:50 and got a clock going that last ran 25 years ago! I missed your comments on leaving at first on leaving the set screw quite tight and making very small adjustments, but discovered them the hard way on my own.

Where i can buy spare part suspension spring ?

Very helpful, thank you

Very interesting. Nice work sir

Excellent video, very interesting to someone like me, who has never attempted to fit a new pivot to a pinion. I think i have some steadys like yours that fit into the flipover toolrest, but i never knew what they were for. I know now, and as you say, it would be easy to make one to suit the diameter of pinion in question. Thanks for filming this.

Top man.👍

Thanks Derek. Most useful as always. Much appreciated.

It is always good practise when replacing pivots to have them match in length to the original.

Thank you for all your videos! The time it takes to record and edit before posting is always overlooked!
