Many thanks Scottie - you do these videos with the same amount of detail and patience as required for the job at hand. It is a pleasure to watch, and I have learned a lot from these, but much to go. I am searching for the right tools for my own hobby work. I guess the dollar outlay would correspond to the commitment. Do you have a previous vid which mentions the best reamer and broacher kit (and perhaps the ok kit for the novice)? I'm not too seriously infused, but I can feel myself sliding into it.
Hi Scotty. I’m just about to try bushing for the first time and I was wondering do you use cutting or smoothing broaches to size the pivot hole? Also is it recommended to bush the holes on both plates of a pivot or only the one that is worn? Thanks for the very helpful videos.
@gordonhack5212, Use cutting broaches to open up a bushing, the smoothing broaches are used to burnish (work harden) the bushing once it is the correct size for the pivot. I always do bushings in pairs, if one needs replacing then the other one will need doing sooner or later. It is considered poor workmanship not to finish the job completely.
@@ScottiesClockWorld Thanks for the reply. I thought best practice would be to do both bushes but I think it’s always best to check with an expert. I’ll order some smoothing broaches. Thanks Scotty!
Thanks for your comment, I hope the video helped you out. I have a new total beginners video series starting next Wednesday, you may be interested in it.
a real pleasure to watch scottie 👏👏👏
Cool, thanks.
what basic sizes would you suggest for a neophyte?
Also..KWM or bergeon setup?

can you link to all the necessary tools please?
Great job. Always makes a person happy when it the wheel spins freely like that afterwards.
That's what we are aiming for and it is most satisfying when it is achieved.
Great video… but I wonder how you ensure concentrity? If the hole is oblong, can we assume that the bushing is going to be centred?
This video will explain how to re-find the original centre of a bushing in a clock plate:

@@gordonhack5212, not sure about the expert part, but thanks for the comment.
great question! i'm in the same boat as you!
@@ScottiesClockWorld you confirmed my suspicion! Thank you for your work.
Thank you 🙂
