Thanks Scottie can you please include hand bushing foe newbies showing exactly what to purchase to get started? No drill press etc? Love your videos thank you !!!
I have a couple of videos on hand bushing that I am currently re-editing, I'll add a list of the tools you'll need and links to purchase them. The video will be uploaded tomorrow week.
Thank you! I see a few videos and articles that touch on it, but nothing that comprehensively get toy started. The videos often depart from totally hand done and show using a drill press at some point, which I do not have.
Glad you enjoyed the series. Another series coming up later on: clock strikes wrong hour/finishing taper pins/the right screwdriver for the screw/cleaning and bluing screws/ using a dremel tool to clean rusty parts/ etc.
Great series! Enjoyed watching each week! Keep up the good work. So glad there are people like you taking the time to share their skills and knowledge with others. Started learning to repair antique clocks about 6 months ago and have picked up a lot of knowledge from your videos. Thank you!
Glad to hear the series helped you understand more about mechanical clock movements. Keep watching there is more to come. Thanks for your kind comments.
I am glad you enjoyed the series and learnt more about mechanical clock movements. There will be interesting subjects in the next series also. Thanks for watching.
Another great video. I have only purchased on clock oiler and that was when I first started out. Syringe type that had the oil in it. I use bent wires and tooth picks (they work well because the wood soaks up the oil), and q tips when I am putting grease on springs. Keep the great videos coming. May God bless you and yours.
Thanks for sharing Scottie and for posting the series. You do very well at explaining things. Great idea on making the oilers. For us USA folks, the white wire he used was a 22 AWG solid (22 gauge)
Thanks so much for providing us with the correct way of putting our mechanical clocks in beat! I have a very different problem. My clock movement is running at twice the speed. How do I adjust it to run at normal speed? I'm running a 1919 Junghans Tambour Mantle clock, and it ran at normal speed until the suspension spring broke which I replaced and now runs at twice the speed. Please suggest a solution.
Was the replacement Suspension Spring longer than the original? The Pendulum Bob will need to be lowered to slow the movement down. Wind down the rating Nut at the base of the Pendulum Bob.
G'Day Scottie. Very informative. I bought oilers not knowing how easy they are to make. Damn. Regarding the stand. Can they be made? or do I just make do with what I can find before I get serious? 🙂 Rob
Hi Bob, that metal stand came from Timesavers over 10 years ago, the only one I have ever bought. I have about 8 wooden stands I have made for particular movements with long pendulums, cuckoo clocks etc. As a woodworker you would have lots of timber offcuts lying about to make your own.
Thank you for this serie.
Glad you enjoyed the series, more to come later on.

This is awesome! Thanks Scotty!
Glad that my videos are helping you with your clock repairs. Thanks for your comment.
I am now addicted to your channel
Thanks for your king comment. We cover a wide range of clock repairs and restotations inon this channel.
Thank you Scottie for this very informational series. I've enjoyed episode. Kind of a bummer that this is the last video.
Glad you enjoyed the series. Another series coming up later on: clock strikes wrong hour/finishing taper pins/the right screwdriver for the screw/cleaning and bluing screws/ using a dremel tool to clean rusty parts/ etc.
Great series, I learned a great deal 👍
Thanks Bill, an 'advanced' series coming before too long.

Thanks for your comments. The Q tip for greasing mainsprings is a cool idea, I'll try it oiut.

Thanks Whitney for your comments, the white wire sure is 22 gauge.
Do you always use pliers when adjusting the beat? I use a screw driver that I put a slit in using a grinder and my hand at the bottom of the crutch
That's another way of accomplishing the same goal.
