I am an amateur clock maker and machinist with big ideas. My workshop is home built and full of vintage metalwork machinery and tooling.
My hobby is clock restoration and I am videoing my work on RUclips, so I hope that you can join me on the journey. There will be occasional inputs from Archie, my quality controller (!) and some beautiful views at the end of each video showing the local Edinburgh area in which I am so lucky to live.
If you enjoy what you see, or have any questions, please leave me a comment and subscribe to my channel.
Kind regards
David

broken arbor intro
This clock will push my repair skills a bit further! The hands had broken off because It has a broken main wheel arbor. This needs to be repaired as there are no spare parts available for a clock of this age! My friend had got it looked at a clock repair shop but was told that it was not repairable so this will be a challenge for me as I've not repaired an arbor before! There are many videos showing arbor pivot repairs but not broken arbor repairs, so hopefully you will find these videos interesting!!

Why Did It STOP Ticking?

A grandfather clock that I had serviced 2 years ago stopped ticking, why? It should have been good to go for another 2 to 3 years before it needed a service, so I was puzzled to why it now stops after a few seconds! So I took the movement back to the workshop to investigate further.
