    I appreciate this video
    a few months ago my electric type jack russel terrier used the wrath of thor to destroy the inner-electrical working of our family clock
    ...tisk tisk tisk, silly puppy
    any hoo,
    it was electrified beyond repair, only the body of the clock with the numbers remained in tact
    I went to my local item shop for spare parts, the journey was danger filled, but none the less worth it
    I traded 18 doubloons and 2 scrolls for the new clock parts, that being a minute, hour and second hand
    as I returned to my humble abode, I fixed the clock with my new parts
    a thousand thanks to the creator/s of this video
    until we meet again
    kind regards
    Onion Knight

    Great video. Thanks for sharing. Some years ago I bought some clock movements. Now I'm finally so far that i made my first clock. I took one movement out of the package, but the manual with it was very short. Only some hazy pictures or drawings. Your video gives me the courage to give it a try tomorrow. Assembly of all types of movements seems to be more or less the same. Every (first-hand = new) has a second hand mounted as the third (last) hand, I guess.

    I was searching exactly this.
    In my kit there's no screws and washer or rubber washer. Only a machine and three hands. What should I do? Will they work?

    • @kitronik
      @kitronik  3 роки тому +2

      Hi Munazah, as long as there is a nut to screw onto the thread it can be tightened to your clock face. If you are missing this then it would be best to contact the company that you bought it from and check if there are any parts missing.

  • @leahslovelylife
    @leahslovelylife 4 роки тому +3

    You did not say what size the center hole had to be. for those of us making our own clock blanks (rather than buying them) we need to know what size hole to cut in the center.

    Could i convert this 12 hour quartz clock to 24 hour clock?
    By making the hand gear twice the original??

    • @kitronik
      @kitronik  2 роки тому +1

      I would be tempted to produce a more simple solution. Have two circular rings of numbers around the clockface. The outer ring would be the numbers 1 - 12, as normal, and the inner ring for 13 - 24. Maybe have them in different colours or the 1 - 12 larger than the 13 - 24.
      Much easier than trying to hack the movement.

    If I bought a mechanism, the boxey part, can I install any hands onto the mechanism if they're from the same brand. I was just wondering as I ordered a mechanism with hands thats are two long. Should they fit on just the same?

    I want to do this on a wall with hands of my design and manufacture. This would be no clock face and long (30cm) hands. would your device work with the mechanism attached to the wall?

    • @kitronik
      @kitronik  5 років тому +2

      Hi Timothy, The mechanism has been designed for use with the hands it is supplied with which are quite light, it is possible it would work ok if the weight of your DIY hands were not too heavy. The only way to know is to experiment with your design until you find a scenario that works as you want it to.

    Will it still work if you don’t have the rubber piece? Mine doesn’t have one for some reason.

    • @kitronik
      @kitronik  4 роки тому +1

      The rubber piece helps to maintain a lock against the clock face and to prevent any slipping or movement. You may experience no issues but I would say a rubber washer of some kind would prove to be beneficial. Was your mechanism supplied by us?

    • @beelzemobabbity
      @beelzemobabbity 4 роки тому +2

      Kitronik thank you. I’m not certain where it was supplied from because it was a set given by my school’s wood shop class.

      The internal diameter of the nut is approximately 7.25mm, the distance between each thread pinch on the spindle is approximately 0.45mm.

      @@kitronik Thank you!! I followed your video one more time and though I bent the "hands" , I eventually got it working. The "key" was when you added the second and and it began to sweep I realized that I needed to apply more pressure. I am in the US and the maker is in Turkey. I am sure he would have replaced. A little "effort" was required and I was too nervous to break anything, It is working. Now I just have to have the courage to hang it up. Cheers, from Asheville, NC
