Interesting. until your videos I have never seen someone attempt to repair a plastic clock movement. Usually they toss it and buy a new one. It is a good skill to learn.
Thanks mate - Yep and that's the problem! Too much is thrown out without a second thought! I'll be trying to fix some real cheapies soon, just to see how it goes 😊
Thank you for this video! Following your instructions gave me confidence for opening up my first broken clock. Unfortunately, this did not fix my particular movement. But it was a fun project anyway! Thanks, again!
Thank you so much for this video! I just thrifted a fist sized clock that uses these same mechanisms and this is a *fantastic* how to video for basic repairs for this kind of device. I haven't been able to start fixing it yet, but I feel a lot more confident about opening it up now!
Chris; this series of repairs and fixes for relatively simple things is almost as good as the great backyard cleanup. Such useful information that i didn't know i needed to know!🤪 Thanks once again, Noddy🫶
I am enjoying it and learning a lot . Keep doing what you do . Rest your shoulder and enjoy the time to do the little things you can and have wanted to do for a long time.
Thanks Dee. Yeah, just like in covid lockdowns, it's a chance to do some things that I never would have got to do in normal circumstances! I am embracing the opportunity 😊
I tried once to open and repair such a plastic movement in a clock but totally failed, Happy to have tried though. Nice work, you’ve got steady hands even with an arm in a sling…cheers
@@TheUltimateRecycler what made me happy a few years ago is that story : my son that had been invited at age 12 to a birthday party where they played with NERF plastic pistols. The one he had broke and my son transform the party for a while in a « repair party » they dismantled it, understood the mechanism, repaired it and even improved it, then started again playing / he was very proud of himself and I surely was….cheers
Good on you Chris, how many people would have just thrown it away. The world has to learn we can't keep up this ever decreasing circle of the throw away society, and as you say German equipment is always worth checking out. ✌♥️🇬🇧
Hi Chris, I was about to say your nylon brush looked more like a Fibreglass Pencil that a fellow techie I worked with raved about... his name was Chris too! But I see below you already pointed out your mistake. Hmm if you're looking for a video idea in the future, showing off handy tools you've come across would be a good one to make! For me a small £20 ebay electric leaf blower are great for dusting out computers, TVs etc and far cheaper than cans of compressed air.
Nice informative video. So how's the shop going? You haven't said much about it. You haven't showed how you've settled in or what things look like. I'm happy to see you not out trying to lift cars and stuff since surgery lol
I think I found that on ebay somewhere, but I'll add a link in the description to some through amazon. I think mine may be fibreglass rather than nylon, and you can get them in brass too. Very handy things!
Thanks Rick - hopefully no video silence from me, at least not for long anyway! I'm looking forward to getting on to some bigger projects too, but do need to be careful..
Good one Chris, I’ve enjoyed your clock repair videos. Am very much looking forward to unboxing ones when you’ve healed completely
Thanks Carole! I'll be doing some unboxing very soon 👍😊

Even if unsuccessful, we always learn something! Good on you for having a go! 👍😊
Another interesting little repair. Good job Chris, and it cost you virtually nothing but time. You can do more clocks if you want, I'm happy. 👍🕒
Thanks AF, I'll be back to them soon! 👍

That's excellent Lizzy, hope it goes well for you! 😊👍

Haha, thanks Noddy! Sometimes I didn't know I already knew it! 😜😆

Enjoyed watching that. Repair and recycle has to be the way to go, surely!
Absolutely Paul! Thanks mate 😊👍
Excellent explanation. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for watching Jo 👍😀
Just the info i needed, thank you. Im going to do this repair on a tiffany German clock

Love to see some unboxing!
I certainly need to unbox some stuff shortly Emma! Will be sure to film it 👍
I like the clock videos!
That's great Heather, I'm glad 😊
Happy with with whatever you can do, arm permitting😎
Thanks Julie! 😎

I'm happy you tried too Retif! That's the first important step! 👍😊

Thanks Les. I'll be trying to fix some real cheapies soon, just to see if it can be done! We need to stop this 'throw-away' mentality!

Thanks Martin - yeah, a good idea! I'm still discovering tools that I didn't know I needed, so maybe a video for the future! 😲😆

Thanks Wayne. I gave up trying to lift cars in my 20s! 🤣 Good questions about the shop - I'll do an update shortly 👍😊
Hey mate I find Kmart can air for $8.00, don't know if U hit Kmart in ur town. Cheers and keep up the good work
I'll check out Kmart next time we have a chance! Only a small town here with no big department stores..
I like that extendable nylon brush. Where did you get that Chris?
I think I found that on ebay somewhere, but I'll add a link in the description to some through amazon. I think mine may be fibreglass rather than nylon, and you can get them in brass too. Very handy things!
I would honestly prefer clock repair videos to "video silence". I look forward to when you can do more involved repairs. Get Well soon
Thanks Rick - hopefully no video silence from me, at least not for long anyway! I'm looking forward to getting on to some bigger projects too, but do need to be careful..
I know what a bad shoulder is like, i had new shoulder 22 years ago
A replacement Ron? Hope it's ok now. Mine is coming along pretty well now, but will take a long time to get strength back!
