Hi Chris, you have a wonderful way of showing yourself and your family and business. Your way of explaining procedures is excellent. I am impressed by your knowledge for a younger guy and your appreciation of your mentor. I have been trying to become proficient at clock repair while being a full-time carpenter. I learned the trade from my Grandfather, hence my appreciation of your mentor. If you have a chance to show how to correctly set up /replacement of an escapement especially on older American clocks. I have read many books, articles, and video's and still struggle with it. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Thank you for the kind words. I have discovered that teaching a subject is the path to mastery of it. Regarding your request, are you referring to American Countwheel escapement with a strip pallet anchor? And when you say replacement, do you mean repairing the escape wheel? Could you be a little more precise in your request so I can understand it better? Thanks!
@@Chrisclockrepair Hi again and Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. OK I am speaking of the American clocks that have either the common recoil, or the half deadbeat escapement. Alot come in with a groove worn in the faces, which is to be soften, polished, adjusted, and regarded. The instruction book I have tried to follow is Steven Conover's method, which I believe came from James Tigners book. One reference says that sometimes the old verge is too worn to be bothered with, so you order one and apon it's arrival you just slap it in.I think I'm missing something there. I know you can open it,close it, and adjust the distance to the escape wheel. In these steps I usually find alittle closer and the teeth would clear the verge or they freewheel with next to no happy medium. I have read that this may be to the verge doesn't span enough teeth. I hope this gives you the general area that I am concerned with. Thank you again for your terrific channel
@@alecmaxwell7945 Yes, now I understand. I just had a problem with a recoil strip pallet that i had to close the exit pallet because it had too much drop. I will get around to doing a video on this. Now one thing that conover does not talk about is the saddle. These do need to be bushed relatively often as if they are too worn, you will have inconsistent action of the escapement and I did a video on this that will be released after I edit it.
That music box has a beautiful tone!
You better keep an eye on her. She's eyeing your tools!
She’s probably the only one who could get away with it. :)
Baby girl loves her papa ❤️
Of course!
