- Now that I am retired, I just might show my life and some of the towns around me. My Brother and Dad, live on the same Dead End Road and yea, maybe we just might get into trouble a little, but have fun doing it. It is time to start smelling the Roses on the way instead of looking at them and passing them by.

Beautiful clock. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you and this was before I started to take the movements apart. Mark made me start taking them apart, lol.
@@justmike57 they don't always need it!
Great video Just Mike, love to see how the clocks work.
Thank you R S Ander. I forgot to point out that this clock uses a bell instead of the gong. Thanks for stopping by.
I learned allot about how important it is to keep your clock clean. Wow 1958 was last time it was touched.
Yes that was a while ago Bob. For some reason, it didn't stay running. But now it is ticking away and keeping great time.
What a gorgeous clock. Thanks for showing us how to care for clocks. I have a nice one in the basement packed away, I might tackle it soon
Yes you should get it out of the Basement. Old clocks are very nice. And clock oil, you can buy it online Elegant Homestead. Have a Very Happy New Years
That’s beautiful kitchen clock I ever seen, great job btw! :)
In a few days I will show all the kitchen clocks I own in my collection Jellyduck100. Thanks for stopping in to get a look at my channel.
Hello Mike! It’s a pleasure meeting you! I saw you in Nomadic Bike’s livestream and wanted to show my love and support!!! I hope you had a happy New Years! Much love 💗
Well hello kimberkiss, i am happy you stopped in to check out my channel, and i will do the same for you. Only if you like my content, well, you know the drill, lol
THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING...LIKE#9
And you and yours have a Great New Years and thanks for the thumbs up.
Mike, once again I enjoyed your video. The clock works looked shinier as soon as you took it out of the green goop. You are very methodical. Something I appreciate since I have ADHD. I’ve always wanted to skip steps to get to the end result and duh 🙄 that never works!! You are very brave taking these clocks apart. 🕰 🛠 I made a few polymer clay clocks using the hands and works from the arts and crafts store. They got bent over the years. Maybe I’ll be brave enough to take on that repair now.
Joanne Bea, I was lucky to be able to watch my dad work on clocks and also able to pick up cuckoo clocks from the thrift store. I had the attitude of, if I mess it up, it didn't cost me that much anyways. It also helped watching other videos to get the basics and try to do it better. You have a Very Happy New Years Joanne Bee
Well i have been watching your video's and running them. This is great detail being done to the clocks and thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much Nana. There are so many that don't have a clue where to start on their clocks that have problems
Awesome Video Mike, that is such a beautiful clock! Love all the details! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for stopping by Shae206. I plan another video of all my kitchen clocks I have soon.
It was all interesting. But especially how you adjust the tick and tock to be smooth. These clocks were made to be fixed & keep working. Nowhere I've lived had kitchen exhaust fans. I had to use a lid or spatter screens.
Thank you for stopping by again Karen4you. These clocks are really old and have seen some that were just flat wore out. but I did bring them back to life. Without a good exhaust fan, that makes more cleaning to the walls and ceiling. To bad. You and yours have a Happy New Years.
You done a great job with it mike thanks for sharing it buddy it looks so great again awesome show the love support to you buddy left you big like keep in touch cheers
Thank you for stopping by ML Chelskie. I enjoy working of these clocks as a hobby.
That's a lot of work Mike, if my clock ever needs fixing I will give you a call.
That sounds like a good idea Stephanie Pooch. Have a Happy New Years
@@justmike57 Happy New year To you and your family
I remember that clock with the decorative finials. Hope you have a great new year of rebuilding clocks.
Thank you Helicool, This one clock belongs to Karen, and if you noticed, it has a bell instead of the gong. You have a great New Years this year.
Wow that is lovely they sure dont make things like that anymore. New subscriber your channel seems very interesting 👍❤
If these were made now-a-days, I don't think they would use real hard woods, they would be hard boards and paint I would think Orion Star
Yep or plastic that look like wood 😁
Wow this is amazing. Hi there my friend. Met you on homesteads live feed tonight wanted to come by and show some love hit the button and ring the bell. I'm running about all of this it's kind of new to me I'm a part-time in training van dweller in the part-time caretaker of my 87 year old grandma with my chihuahua my sidekick Javier. Peace and blessings and happy New Year to you mate. And keep in touch if you like. I sure will!
I show what is going on in my life and places I might go to. My brother and I watch over my 90 1/2 year old dad, and do all his driving for him now. Three days a week, we take him to breakfast after we pick up his wife from a home with 4 other people. She had a stroke over a year ago and needs 95% help or more. She is 90 now. It takes a toll on my week, but I do it for Dad. So, thank you for checking out my channel Sundry Girl and I will do the same.
Hello Mike...🌹🌹🌹

Full A++🌹
Many thanks!! You have a great week and God Bless AB's Kitchen Recipes & Vlogs.
I doesn't even keep running...maybe because you were messing with the alarm.
After cleaning and oiling the clock, it should run good. The alam should not affect the running of the clock 1pilotsteve.
Ahh ok
i got a 1879 ingrahm thats covered in dust but i going to do it on my own because of $$ at repair shops what house hold cleaning appliance can i just for it
You can use Dawn Dishwashing soap with Hot water and let it soak, along with swishing it around. Also use a toothbrush to help get the oils and dust off the gears and plates. Do remember that it cleans, but not as well as a clock cleaning fluid. So, what this means is it might take some time to work in the Clock Oil. Such as it might not want to run for very long and you will have to hit the pendulum several times to get it running all the time. Hope this help you out Mike Roe.
@@justmike57 i just did that theclock would not run and chime mechanism was loud when running were loud but now it runs better now just oil and cleaning out bushings
well if for some reason I ever get a clock like this, I know who to contact to get it fixed.
That is right Iseekoutthetruth. And I know how to keep it from gonging the hour for you.
Enjoyed your video. Hope you make more. Just wondering where I can purchase an oiler pen like the one you use that sucks back up the excess oil. I have looked at Timer Savers, Ronell, Marritts and other clock parts companies and cannot find it?
The company I bought the pen from was sold to another clock parts house. But don't know who they are and I have been looking for others that want this oiler pen, but I can't find them either Mike Parquette.
Happy New Year fam jus checking out your channel
I am happy that you came to check out my channel. I do hope you liked my channel BOUCKER !TV
Hi! My name is kayla, my grandmother recently passed away! She left me 2 cuckoo clocks. They need cleaned and oiled, minor repairs! I know their vintage, but they do need some TLC. I was curious to know if you could help me get them up and running!
Sorry, I am behind on my comments. That is wonderful to receive your grandmothers clocks. So, are you asking me to lead you on your way to fix them yourself or want me to fix them, because I think we can do either.
Hello . Nice to meet you FFP
Same here Food Forest Permaculture and I am glad you took the time to see what I was all about. I will do the same.
Could you share what the green cleaner you like best is pleade. So many types out there and would like to try a good one on my antique clocks. Like your channel and will subscribe. Thankyou
This was bought from Ronell Clock Co on line. I don't buy it anymore, even though it did do a great job, this wasn't cheap and had to pay for a hazard est material shipment as well. I now make my own with supplies you can buy at the store. This is the video I made on the mixture. ua-cam.com/video/eIQ9LAfPCKw/v-deo.html
Please make more videos. I just bought a Zaanse clock. I am 14
I have plans on more clock videos, but have to recover from a tooth getting pulled Nathan Wayne News.
Nathan...
You might want to head over to "Bracken Clock Works" here on UA-cam. He's got some great content I think will help you out.
Good luck!
Funny, I just repaired one too!
And you did a great job, hope my video helps you NuclearKinght.
Just Mike It did! I tried to unwind the fully wound spring...it flew at a million miles an hour and almost cut my hand off! LOL
@@FTBFHRITP That isn't funny, lol. That is why it have the tool with the oblong handle.
Very nice video... What is the cleaning solution? Is it safe to use in a stainless Ultrasonic cleaner?
Personally, I would not use this Clock cleaning ammoniated cleaner in my Ultrasonic cleaner because of the really strong smell that should be used in outside or very well ventilated area. I just bought the Clock Cleaner that is non ammoniated cleaner for my stainless ultrasonic cleaner. If you look at my playlist, under cuckoo clock repair. You will see a video of the bottle I was using in this video. I also show the new Bottle that you can use inside and have used it already and does a good job Richard Woodward.
what is the cleaning green solution you were using
This is a clock cleaning fluid. In my video I will give you a link to, will tell about it. ua-cam.com/video/Ctbd-Vs2lNA/v-deo.html
I have a family heirloom mantle kitchen clock and its wound so tight it wont work.
Can you help or suggest what I should do.
You can do one of two things. 1. The Safest way is to; Keep swinging the pendulum every time you walk by it until it can loosen up and keep on running. 2. The not so safe way unless you have the right tools and experience you can take the face off and see the little keeper that holds the spring from unwinding with the key, Put the key in and act like you are winding it, but at the same time use a small screwdriver to hold the little lever back and only unwind a 1/4 of a turn at a time. Why, because this is a bit dangerous and if your hand slips off the key, it could tear your hand up before you know it.
Hope this help you Virginia Cook
@@justmike57 Thank you. I will try the pendulum fix first.
😊👍19👌🙏
Thank you again for stopping by to watch me clean and oil the clock ไต๋แขก โชคกิตติพงษ์
With the minute hand having that square hole, how do you adjust it if it doesn’t strike at the 12 o clock position (it instead strikes 2 minutes past)? Thanks so much!
There is the brass piece with the square hole in it. That will pop out of the minute hand. If you notice, it has little gear like teeth. Have you clock strike the hour, and move the minute hand to the 12 and press it back on the brass piece with the square hole in in Abraharn Wu.
I wish you dear friend Mike and Family
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2019
Friendly greetings Rasul 👍👍👍 #Rasulraumavideos 🙏🙏🙏
Well Hello Rasulraumavideos , I almost missed your comment. Thank you and I would like to also wish that you had a Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Years.
You know how to fixing things
When I was younger Eric Brown, I was really good with my hands
Great video...but one question please. What is the solution you used to soak that clock movement in?
Here, I use Clock Cleaning Concentrate - Ammoniated. There is one that is Clock Cleaning Concentrate - Non-Ammoniated that is safer indoors. You look for clock parts on some sights and you will find it.
I will do a video on mine because it was hard work
Looks great on your video, I left you a comment on how to fix it NuclearKnight77
Why did you not disassemble the clock and clean all the parts and oil sinks separately, then you can polish the pivots. What would you do if you needed to bush the holes ?
Paul, my cleaning of the clocks is for the people that want to try on their own to get their clocks going again. Some don't want to spend a ton of money bringing their clock to a clock smith and some don't have one in their area. Taking the clock apart is way over most people's heads and then putting the clock back together and getting the timing right so the clock will work again.
For what I show on my channel is a way to get started on the cuckoo clock and start to understand different things about their clocks. I help a lot of people with my email address below the video that I don't get paid for. This channel is a great start to learning a little about cuckoo clocks and what makes them tick.
Thanks so much for your concern and interest.
@@justmike57 thank you for your really helpful reply. Now that I understand I appreciate your work and commitment
Regards Paul
Hello I have a Lauffer mantel clock the face is crack. Do you know if I can get a new one? Thank you
Not that I know of unless you hunt on Ebay. You never know what you will find as people put new things up all the time Claudia Nuno.
I don't know how bad it is, but you might be able to use a wood putty of the same color and refinish it.
@@justmike57 it is really bad. Thank you!
Hi Mike, what is the green solution you used to clean clocks. Can I use to clean a regula movement ?
This was an Ammonia based clock movement cleaner. You have to use it outside and when ordering it, you have to pay for shipping chemicals. I have ran a crossed something cheaper that you can make at home. Check out the video in the Playlist on my channel. It should be with the cuckoo clock repair videos.
@@justmike57 thank you Mike. I have bought some ammonia but not sure if it's will affect some of the plastic wheels in my Regular 25 movement.
@@edjunis2703 Straight Annona might not be a good thing. Always check you movement ever 5 minutes when using cleaners that you don't know how they might reach.
@@justmike57 thank you Mike, most definitely I will dilute as per instructions and check. Thank you
Mike, do you have a video for cleaning and oiling a cuckoo clock?
Yes I do Vedeoherebob. This video would show the cleaning and oiling to help you have a good idea of how to do it yourself.
@@justmike57 This video applies to a cuckoo clock as well?
@@VIDEOHEREBOB Yes it does Bob. But if you want to see the Cuckoo Clock Cleaned and oiled, in my playlist, I have other videos on the other clocks I have worked on. This is a cuckoo clock video link on cleaning and oiling the Cuckoo Clock. ua-cam.com/video/Cv5Xfhd1w_k/v-deo.html
What was that cleaning solution?
This one in the video is ammoniated clock cleaner you order from the clock parts place on line. I now make my own cleaner. It is cheaper and you can buy all the things you need from the local store and not have to pay for Toxic shipping charges. ua-cam.com/video/eIQ9LAfPCKw/v-deo.html
What cleaning solution are you using?
Hey King Hill, I use a clock cleaning solution, and this one is a very strong ammonia, I just ordered on that you can use in closed spaces. It is from Ronell Clock Company that sells it. Concentrated Clock Cleaning Solution, Non Ammoniated.
Hi there, what was the green solution you soaked the clock in?
Clock Cleaning Concentrate - Ammoniated, is what I used in the video Brett Corlett.
hey can you work on Baby Ben's and regular Big Bens? I have several Big Bens and a Baby Ben that run but then stop after a while.
I like the larger clocks, because I can see them better. I could give them a try if you really like them Del-Rio Drifter.
I do love them because they have 2 stage alarms and they are very dependable and accurate once they get working. I will see if I can find them in storage if you are interested in giving them a tune up@@justmike57
@@Drifter5.7 If you can find them, I could look at them for you Del-Rio.
I will do some digging I know I have a black Big Ben and a Baby Ben here at the lake house@@justmike57

Is you cleaning solution home made ? If so could you share your formula.

Great cleaning with less fumes. Hope this helps you
What was the name of that green cleaner?
It is for clock cleaning, and it comes in a gallon jug that you dilute with water. It smells like ammonia and is so strong, that you need to open the container OUTSIDE. So that might give you a hint on making your own from a local store.
@@justmike57 Ammonia was taken off the shelfs. Just try to find it in any cleaning isle at the store.
@@badbadbob1 , They do have a very good degreaser at the autoparts store that is safer. I do believe they call it PURPLE for degreasing.
