E😀🤩🙂❤🤩❤❤❤👍❤❤❤👍❤😉👍❤❤😁😁😁😮👍 To take some skill now it's a real biscuit girl you've got some biscuits in the oven right yes I can 😮😅😢Hey Bixby 🎉But actually it's c*** it's pretty d*** good😮?
I always appreciate good knowledge. I cant stand when it’s delivered with an aire of arrogance. Lighten up
It’s most interesting and appreciate the restoration, but this guy is nonstop depressing and negative. He needs to rethink his delivery.
I believe it was John Harrison who invented the gridiron compensating pendulum.
That smaller black hand isn't the alarm, that's the calendar indicator. You can also see it on the dial, it goes from 1 to 31.
'Promo SM' 😜
What adhesive was used
I would think of cleaning the dial like the Mona Lisa or any type of Picasso it should be done so you can see the colors in the breaststroke and stuff like that we clean the movement why not the guy or the case
Pardon the unasked for criticism but It might help to be more specific and catchy with these video titles, mainly to differentiate what each vids about and the specific parts of restoration or preservation you're gonna delve into. Maybe even ask a question which the viewer, upon discovering would want answered by watching the video, yknow? it might help with views, as it can be hard to engage with a video like this especially considering how many have the exact same title on your channel, there's nothing that helps the other ones stand out in any way. Something as simple as the make/model or specific parts of it which really stand out that you go into detail with helps when people would look into that stuff specific, because when they look up "Clock restoration" they're bound to find the highest viewed videos first, but if they're looking for this kind of stuff specifically they'd be more likely to find it. This piece is absolutely phenomenal looking btw, insanely interesting stuff, thank you for taking the time to share this!
My bad, the thumbnails do differentiate them but when dealing with youtubes algorithm a strong title helps a lot
Beautiful stuff
Mr. Perry, does the restoration of pieces such as these involve the use of hand tools, or is the use of power tools permissible provided any obvious signs that a power tool was used are removed?
Minor correction, I know Mr. Perry, being a student of history, simply misspoke when he stated that Aaron Burr was killed in his duel with Hamilton. Indeed, it was Hamilton who lost his life, and the resultant scandal sealed Burr’s fate as a somewhat unsavory character in American history. I think this treatment is unfair. For all his peccadilloes, he was universally considered an extremely generous man who took into his home and supported numerous children, a struggling artist and others. He often did so to his own financial detriment. He also fought for the abolishment of slavery, the franchise for women, and openly contended, to Hamilton’s dismay, that women are the equal of men intellectually and should be given the same educational opportunities as men. He was also most welcoming of non-Englishmen and the foreign born, again to Hamilton’s horror. And let us not forget that his skill as a soldier during the Revolution initially won him the admiration of his peers and of Patriots alike. However, Burr was well known to be politically self serving, not adverse to subterfuge, an atheist and a self-confessed sexual brigand. If he was anything, he was complex, and in my opinion, a far more interesting and compelling man to study than Hamilton who was, and I’ll be blunt, an authoritarian and proto -corporatist masquerading as some great scion of Liberty.
very nice clock… you didn't mention the engraving of the VI on the chapter ring... I have not seen that before
Curious as to whether the rafter upon which the stairway rests can be removed, inverted and planed level, or does one simply shim the rafter in place to eliminate the sag?
300 + years old clock face being cleaned / restored on top a washer and dryer.
It’s nice to see nice clocks that you feature in your channel. Seems like it’s an art form that’s slipping away with everyone using their mobile phones for timekeeping.
bro you know they make a spray yeah?😂
Wonderful. Thanks so much. There is some really good content on UA-cam after all.
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS CLOCK AFTER RESTORATION, AS I AM SURE OTHERS WOULD ALSO.
Horology - study of telling the hour or “where Horus is”. The hours are the different stations of Horus as he traverses the sky.
thank you Greg for taking this on. I have been restoring antiques for over 20 years and have had to stop taking in clocks for lack of information sources. I have been watching your broadcast for just a few months and find the information very helpful. Thanks, Sam with Ramsey Restoration
Thank you for taking the time to make this video of otherwise unavailable content. Greatly appreciated.
16:45 i hear a kitten meowing! very cool restoration video
Thank you for doing everything that you have done to protect this wonderful piece of history for the future.
I've found that caretakers of historic sites tend to become very defensive whenever obvious flaws in their preservation strategy are pointed out. I have my own story of volunteering at an historic house museum. The BoD would have a hearty chuckle amongst themselves as to how often the preservation program at a nearby university would cite their ongoing enterprise as an example of what not to do with an historic building
We are all subject to the aesthetic whims of the plutocrats and their financial priorities
So what causes the debondng of the silvered brass plate? Did you simply dispose of the iron pins that held the dial to the face?
What was the caging function for? Just security of the booze and paraphernalia? Surely they wouldn't keep money in there after closing? Seems like the daily proceeds would be taken and put in a safe or more secure place.
We need more Traditional Art Programs for both the youth, and all! Great Video and Up Close shots!
Have you ever tried marine silicone in your restoration. Something like a Marine 5200? Great restoration !
Great Living History!
This is what happens to the “here in my garage” guy in a parallel universe if he never read books or bought super cars.
Thank you so much for the wonderful tour, and for passing on such interesting and knowledgeable information.
Sage could care less what you have to say sir. This is his domain and you just keep it pretty for him.
Fantastic explanation of your work! I'm learning about these clocks. Is there a video of the finished restoration?
10:44 A district reminder of a way of life that we don’t have to worry about today.
Who is destroying mail machines...
Great restoration! Love the cage bar.
This was a video that my company shot. It is not available for you to copy. Please remove this video.
Thank you for keeping our beautiful ancestral heritage alive ♥️✊🏻
looks great. Hoping Boss will let me gild a new weathervane.
Very touching snd quite mood provoking, The music was beautiful as well and perfectly chosen. May I ask who were the Musicians, I’d love to purchase it to listen to while working in my own workshop while reproducing period millwork and reproduction furniture. I thoroughly enjoy your videos and insights !
This is an excellent demonstration of how not to gild or handle gold leaf. I cringed throughout this video.
How wonderful to get the original cage bar and other original pieces from this tavern. Amazing story how you acquired all of it and glad you got it all back before it decayed. You did a great job bringing it back to life. Love the cat..
Hi, very interested in your dial restoration, especially in the reverse of the chapter ring that you discovered on removal. From my reading and what I can see on the video I think this was originally engraved for the Turkish market which European makers exploited from the 16th C. , The numerals on the reverse of the chapter ring look like the ones I have seen in horological books illustrating clocks made for the Ottoman market. Presuambly it was not used or recycled for some reason as brass was expensive and producing a chapter ring with the tools available then was a time consuming task. I might well be wrong, but could be interesting to research. Currently cleaning and repairing a Longcase of the same vintage (c. 1710) with identical spandrels. The chapter rings on my clock have had a plain brass finish for many years and debating whether to leave them brass or to silver..... Do you know if Chapter rings of the period were invariably silvered or were ever left with a plain brass finish. I do think the contrast of the silvered chapter rings looks better, but I don't want to 'restore' them to a state different from original.
Loving your videos, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I hope you always continue. Best wishes to you and a Happy New Year.
Hi, I have a very similar 18th Chippendale chair like the one in the background. Where about was this chair made in? Any other known details about this particular design? Thanks,
Thank you for the tour of Market Street!
