OPEN CLOCK CLUB

We promised to dig out the fusee spring and we did! Not before a myriad of distractions though! All good fun leaving us with questions for next week including the great wheel retaining screw dilemma!! #Clock #repair #workshop #shop #tool #RighttoRepair #horology

Good morning I am a complete novice in the practice of clock repairs (for my own pleasure and hobby) and have recently purchased at a local action sale a Garrard mantle clock with a Westminster strike chime which is in my opinion in need of some TLC which I am looking forward to getting started with the dismantling and cleaning process. I watch for the first time your presentation and tutorial and must say how impressed and pleased I am that the practical advise and variety of different tasks carried out on clock repairs you are showing in your videos are perfect for me to follow and gain so much experience and hands on knowledge.I will continue watching your videos in the future but have a question to ask in the meantime?-I’ve noticed on occasions that you show and refer to a book which has been written with illustrations-can said book be purchased from you and how do I obtain a copy.
Many thanks
Kind Regards
Peter Harrison

Very interesting. I've just finished building the John Wilding English dial clock with date and have installed a phosphor bronze line. I will be taking it out and replacing it with natural gut. Probably not the super musical harp gut you refer to, but some rather cheaper gut from the clock suppliers. Hopefully it will be good enough. Thanks for your advice. It makes sense. Not so sure about that pivot though.......

Thanks Brian. Well done for making the clock. Ah yes, much discussion to be had around that pivot!!!
