    Thanks for the wonderful video it's amazing how some repairers can butcher the plate when re bushing, still it's a lovely looking clock. Thanks mate. Jim from AUSTRALIA 😊❤.

    Beautiful video, thanks for taking the time and care to present these so very well (and without deafening background music and annoying editing). Very impressive.

    Looking forward to the next part Tommy. I agree with you about the scratches they are also apart of the history.

    If the clock movement I had been working on had no hole in the fusse and had power on, I would make sure all the pivots had plenty of oil so to help with the running down and not cause wear.
    Lovely video Tommy.

    Do you buy or make your cast brass. if you buy where do you get it from?

    • @TommyJobson

      I buy it. There is a foundry in the UK who make it.

    Why not just run the barrel down with a key ? It has the pretension ratchet that I use to run the wind down on a pocket watch, this looks like the same. Maybe try that in the future, just a suggestion.

    • @TommyJobson

      Because a fusee spring at full wind is extremely powerful and it would be very easy to slip and cause the power to 'bang'. That would potentially damage the great wheel and or centre pinion and may cause injury. Better to do it slowly and carefully.

    • @romanmechetnerful
      @romanmechetnerful Рік тому

      @Tommy Jobson of course one would use a key to control the wind down, not just let it go.

    • @TommyJobson
      @TommyJobson  Рік тому

      Of course, it's the key slipping that I was referring to.
