This super hard stainless steel is what I ran into with the Sessions third wheel that the the pivot broke off. I had to order a new arbor to replace the whole thing after trying to drill out the pivot.
Just asking, to harden the metal, don't you get it hot, then dip it in the water, then watch the blue color move all the way and drop it in water again? You have done more work in school than I have, but that is some-what, what I remember. It is always good to take a break to maybe rest your mind or work your mind on the problem that you are dealing with. I don't care how many parts there are to this clock, still very interesting and well worth the watch. Thanks for the shout-outs.
Exactly. To harden the metal you have to get it orange/reddish hot and then dip it in oil/water. I use water myself. Others say oil is better. To soften the metal you get it orange/reddish hot and let it cool slowly. Depending on how hard the metal is you might have to do this a few times. Depending on how soft the metal is that you are wanting to harden then you again might have to do this a few times. Thanks for watching. May God bless you and yours.
Mark: You have so much clutter there how can you do anything. You got the land, you need to build a dedicated Clock Shop. Maybe the VA could help. You have so much to offer!
LOL. I cant even get the VA to take me from 90% to 100%. I agree that I have a lot of clutter and that is the main reason why I dont work on other peoples clocks. Yes it would be nice to have a shop. I have about a 40'x100' concrete pad on my property. I will be debt free in a few months. Next year or the year after I might have a shop put on the pad.
Mark, I stumbled on this the other day, it helps find the absolute center of an arbor for repivoting. Of course, still kind of requires you to have a lathe. Al Taka Pivot Replacement Center Finding Tool ruclips.net/video/LHs6WwgG16E/видео.html

yeah you have to soften the steel a few times by heating it to cherry red and letting it cool slowly. Thanks for watching.

Yes I have seen this video before. I went ahead and added it to the description of my video. Thanks. Thanks for watching.
You could use a new rope.
That rope was replaced in 2000. The clock didnt run that long due to a divorce I think the rope still might work. Thanks for watching.
