Hello Garry, really pleased you enjoyed the video and I hope your first clock service goes well. Just take your time and enjoy the experience!

I would join the nawcc forum, really helpful guys on there who should be able to help you. mb.nawcc.org/search/3199930/?q=howard+millar&o=relevance Good luck with your research!

@@davidhaggarty Thank you!

Thanks so much@@torsiondell, I remember Matthew Read doing a solder repair on one a few years ago but I will assess when I get the wheel out

Hello John, good to hear from you, I hope you are keeping busy and will find time to produce some more excellent videos . You raise some very valid points and I can't wait to strip the clock down and assess the situation. I might well be in touch for further advice so watch out!!

@ that’s no problem, we are always pretty steady I really aft to pick my battles 😁😁

I haven't used borax before but I've heard of mixed results. The great watchmaker George Daniels used household soap to prevent fire staining, so I might give that a go next time, and hopefully save me some cleaning work. I use Da Vinci Resolve for video editing and I'm sure that it can remove the background garage fan heater noise, I just need to work out how to do it, - still learning how to use it! Thank you for your comments, they are much appreciated.

Yes my first refaces as well and I'm well pleased with the result. The 400 day has taken me ages to set up, I can see why a few clockmakers avoid them! Thanks for your message 😊

@@davidhaggarty The 400 day clocks certainly keep you humble. I have over 130 of them. Yours is a bit of an oddity. Good video on the pallet repair. I should have said that too. I found very little information when I went to do my repair. It was a little stressful as it wasn't my clock and I was doing the work as a gift. I had to cut down the pallets to add the slippers.

Thanks for the kind comments and good luck with the restoration, I would love to see some pictures!

@@katiemcalister2800 thank you James, hopefully see you soon! David

that's very true @broadpete, I've yet to see a level house floor or mantle! For this one the clock was level and it sounded in beat so I knew the problem was elsewhere.

Thanks Paul, and much the same about yourself, renovating a house in France. Thanks for subscribing. Cheers David

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it

Hello there Really busy work wise at the moment but I will see what I can do in the next few weeks when I can get more time. Thanks for watching!

thank you 😊

Very true, thanks for your comment.

This particular movement did not have the 1/2 hour strike. I loved that clock but unfortunately it wasn't mine!

@@davidhaggarty thank you, I think mine does not either. And I have heard that there were rarely clocks from the ~1750s that did have one. I think everything is working now fine.

That's good to hear. Thanks for getting in touch, I should have another video coming out shortly.😊

Thank you. He thinks so too!

The speed of the clock is governed by the pendulum length. To speed the clock up you shorten the length. On the pendulum Mercury weight will be a thumbscrew to turn and shorten the length. Just a small fraction of a turn required to see the effect. Have fun!

Hello Peter. Yes the mercury pendulum clocks are fascinating and mine keeps excellent time. I made my own mainspring machine out of metal, based on a Joe Collins design which is easy and safe to use. I would certainly recommend making one, the plans are available free on-line (check out the NAWCC forums).

@@davidhaggarty cheers thanks for the info. I spent a happy afternoon cleaning the case and candle holders. I will need some marble polish as it's lost the shine it would have had from new. Of course there were paint splashes on it as well. The main mechanism is out and I'll get around to servicing it soon..

Hello Veronica, I made some.interior light mounts in aluminium using the milling machine and the metal I got from.you. thank you! X

@@officialevant thank you

Thank you so much!!

Thank you! Cheers!

That's a great suggestion regarding the 3M tape, and I will put that to the test next time! Thanks for your kind comments and I hope to get the next video out soon.

Thanks for your kind comment and welcome. I am working on the next video which will be out soon. Thanks for watching

Thanks Bill, I'm ok and have spent the last few months restoring an old car! But I am back in the workshop now working on another clock video. Hopefully it will be out soon.

Dear David , I would like to give you a suggestion regarding your contents here on UA-cam. I noticed that you are very busy with your (to do list) besides repairing watches . How about combining other things that you do and upload here ? Per example your work with the beehive or repairing your car . I understand when you are inside your shop repairing your clocks you just set up your camera and you don’t have to deal with it anymore and the other activities you will need to be caring it everywhere and adjusting as well. Unless you prefer to keep your channel only for clock and watch repairs. I follow someone in England who was only focusing in one hobby of his and then he decided to record everything he does around the house and car repair . His number of followers was surprising. He has many similarities that you have such as A very calm voice , a clear pronunciation of words, a kind and shy way to communicate with your viewers, you don’t use any sound background in your videos , you appear to be passionate with what you do. Overall you are very talented like being the composer , the conductor and the orchestra ALL IN ONE . if you have the time to record what you do other then repairing clocks and watch I believe you will be even more successful. Use what you have : your personality and good looks . Combine both and shine high . Wishing you the best and great health .

​@@BILLBRAZIL100Hello Bill, as you probably know I still do a full time job and so my time in the workshop is limited. When I video the clocks the job takes twice as long whilst I wrestle with cameras, and then the editing afterwards takes several hours to produce a video of a minimum standard that I'm happy with The other projects would take much longer. So hopefully when I retire I may be able to expand my horizons, I have got lots of projects lined up which I'd love to video! .Thanks for watching Bill, and take care.

Hi John, sorry I'm at work at the moment but I'll answer you later. Is your problem with not being able to remove the hour hand, or is the hour wheel not turning?

Glad you enjoyed it

Hee hee,, the dog is more popular than me but I guess I have to live with that! Thanks anyways for watching, hopefully the next video will be more to your liking.

A good comment, as it was my first clock video there's always ways to improve and hopefully you'll hear the chimes on my later clock videos. Thanks for watching.

Next time I will grind a cutter to exactly replicate the tooth profile - lessons were learnt! Thanks for watching

Glad you enjoyed it

Sounds like a lovely clock, I'd like to see a picture of it if you have time. Like you, I can't find any history on the clockmaker.

Hi David, what is your email, I will send pictures of the hood and the dial. Later on tomorrow I will send some full length pictures.@@davidhaggarty

Thanks Greg, I still miss him a year on and think about Dad everyday. I still discuss my daily plans with him each morning while I walk the dog and I feel his guidance comes though which sets me up for the day.

What a wonderful man you are and a wonderful son.@@davidhaggarty
