is it Silver nitrate or Silver chloride? Thank you.

12:01 “So meths” she says. Is that a uk wax cleaner😂the purple stuff, please….

Well done this is very time consuming and precise job you are doing a fantastic job

Bravo !!

Absolutely fantastic

Your technology is interesting, and then your hands probably turned black in the sun. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

sara -- many thanks for the wonderful video -- if you are still monitoring the thread -- what cleaner did you use to remove the last vestiges of shellac wax from the chapter ring at 12:10 in the video ? the purple liquid -- you have given me the courage to attempt a similar project --

My father was a draughtsman and i have his drawing instruments, some of which are ruling pens, could these be used for instance on a compass to draw the dial with black ink, instead of the rotring pen ?

Thank you for this video! Can you give us the ammonia to water ratio? I'm currently looking to clean a late 18th century longcase. Not having a lot of luck online with what to use. Thank you.

I’ve just done this job myself. Unfortunately, I found your video AFTER I’d done it 😡 I followed advice on another video and on a website and they left out two very important steps that you showed us here. Washing out the old wax with ammonia - and wiping off the hot wax with a card. Really, really wish I’d seen that before I did it! I did find, though, that a heat gun (like a super hot hair dryer) worked very well to melt the wax.

Is the shellac stick the same thing as engravers wax?

You have an amazing eye for colour Sara. I am also grateful that you take such a strong approach to setting up the underlying base for this work (car filler - I love it). Thank you, this is so very helpful for my restoration project.

I am seeing this years later but appreciate it none the less. I have done numerous dials and it is simply a lot of work! I am unsure of the product you used (at 12:00) to remove the residual wax (the purple liquid). This has always been a struggle point for me in that I tend to unwantingly remove newly applied wax/shellac from the relief areas. Thanks!

Dear Sara, thanks for the upload. I would like to know the brand and type of the pens and ink, so that I can also buy it in the Netherlands. Thank you for an answer. With regards, Hans 👋👋

You do outstanding work! Please make more videos.

Excellent. The compass work made me nervous due to the lack of reliable centres but the results speak for themselves. Thanks for sharing.

Your a true inspiration 😊,many thanks Charlie.

Amazing work! You have a keen eye to detail and a master's control over the pen. So I glad I found your channel as I wanted to slightly restore some of my dials.

Super !! Your skill is a treat to watch !!

Looks absolutely perfect.i have an 1820 grandfather clock and would love the dial done if its possible do you have anyway i can contact you. Many thanks

Great video. True talent and outstanding skills. I have a similar dial that belongs to an English clock circa 1820 and wondering if you would be willing to restore it and how much you would charge. Thanks.

bel lavoro! tutto perfetto.

Truly a pleasure to watch a master work. Lovely result!

Excellent video. From someone such as me who used to repair and restore Long case clocks many years ago.

Beautiful work Sara!

To anybody watching this who is thinking of “having a crack” at their clock dial: be warned- this video is basically a great guide to *utterly destroying your dial*. Ammonia and metal polishes have the ability to obliterate an antique dial’s printed and/or hand-painted features, leaving you with a worthless clock. DO NOT DO THIS- pay a professional.

It was a real pleasure watching this Sara. I'm a watchmaker and don't really work on clocks, but you taught me something new. Thank you.

Hey Sara great video thanks...hey ps I have an 1890s Ansonia with paper dial and I guess gold colored copper outer rim and inner rim which has tarnished greenish copper color? Would you replace dial or clean up somehow?

Thankyou so much for sharing your secrets. I have struggled to find anything about dial restoring. You do make it look so easy and i know that the blackwork is a real pain to get right.

You are good. I have one like that off of a grandfather clock.

Very nice job Sara, and thanks for sharing.

Very nice job Sara, and thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for posting this video. When I watched your video, I immediately knew that the oval template and shellac black ink were the two items that I had been searching for for three years years. I now have a George Claridge of Chepstow dial from about 1820 that looks "right" and does not look restored! Just the result I was after. You are a star!!

Very useful and informative tutorial. Are you going to tackle anything else LC related / brass backplate for example ?

Thankyou for such a good demo of restoring this beautiful face I can see you are a professional with many years of experience and so very interesting, can be scary at the thought of any parts of the image area vanishing,brings back memories of my apprenticeship as a lithographic platemaker when on rare occasions a part of the image would disappear due to a mistake made by me, but I had to learn the hard way. Thankyou. Jim from AUSTRALIA.

Thankyou for such a good demo of restoring and re silvering the chapter ring I've done a few of them in the past but I much prefer your method as it's more efficient. Jim from AUSTRALIA.

Very helpful video Thanks for taking the time.

Brilliant well paced You are very talented

You're very talented - nice result without looking new.
