Hi Tom, I have recently uploaded a broach rebushing episode and there is another episode to follow soon. Episode 1; ua-cam.com/video/Zb_tIXXY-fg/v-deo.html Hope you like it. Thanks for your comment.
You do use kwm reamers for bushing, these are expensive, are there more ways? I have a nice cnc router for pcb making and that is precise stuff, can mill these holes.
I use the Bergeon system as I regularly need to re-bush mid-19th Century French clock movements. Your idea might work, I have never tried it. I will be shooting a video on cutting holes for bushes just using broaches not reamers in a week or so. keep an eye out for it.
Hey, how's your project going? We should have all the flooring and carpets replaced by the end of the year so things should be back to normal early next year, I hope.
HI Scottie I have( Smith Thomas Bellevue) great videos for beginner like me. When removing the front plate warning wheel and minute wheel are attached to the plate. Do I need a special puller to remove them? any suggestion would be great. Thanks
thank you for this video, i was waiting for a long time for this video, you help me out very much :D since i dont have the big money for a bushing machine and also back in the way earlyer day, thy also did not have those machine's and i was wondering how thy should do it in that time, thanks again greeting matty
Hi Matty, in a couple of weeks I am starting a new series for total beginners just using common tools found around the house, no professional clock repair tool required. You might want to check it out. Cheers Scottie.
Does clock repair net a decent yearly income? Do you need any sort of specialized documentation/training certificates? Are you required to apprentice or anything like that? I just cleaned my late grandmother's clock and found the process challenging, but rewarding. Unfortunately, the clock still doesn't run, and I found at least 3 pivots that likely need bushings. I called the "local" repair shop, and they said that repairs start at $175 and since they're the only repair service within 4 states, they have at least a year long wait list... so I'm considering buying some tools to do the job myself. Which got me to think about a little repair business. Thanks
The returns have been ok but the current turn down in business (not a recession yet) and increasing parts/material prices are making it harder. Apprenticeships are virtually non existant as quartz movement clocks are now the norm. As skilled mechanical clock repair people are becoming thin on the ground prices charged for repairs are rising. There are plenty of videos on YT to watch and as you learn your experience will point out the incorrect things some people do in their 'repair' videos. Good luck if you decide to make the move.
