Fitting a New Pinion to an Old Wheel

This is the pin wheel that causes the hour and quarter striking on a monumental clock by Farcot. The old pinion was a poor replacement and the clock had never worked properly as a result of this.
When we work on projects like this, we get so absorbed time flies by without our noticing.
Relax and join us in real-time as we perform this aspect of the restoration.

An explanation of what you are doing and why for each step would help a lot

Thank you for this video. It was indeed possible to get absorbed in the process. I too think some commentary would be helpful. It could be a voice-over added in post-production, in fact that might be the best approach. Watching a second time, everything fit together better. I was surprised not to see any flux used in the soldering steps. Was that off-camera? Did I just miss it both times? Is there a reason not to use flux? Another question was why do so much fitting using a hand graver? Very skillful, but without explanation it would seem that mounting the tool in the lathe carriage would ensure a true surface. And, again, thanks to NAWCC for producing this and the other videos I've found. I'm a member and I do appreciate them.
