    Well calibrated eye Ronnie, you knocked that bushing in darn near perfectly. nice job

    Yes U must polish the pivots, when doing new bushing work. pivots have to 35:16 be polished & very smooth so your new bushing will not wear out

    And that was when Ronnie learned that he does have the skills needed to add a bushing 💯

    Excellent work Ronnie. The new bushing really saved the clock I think. I bet it’s gonna work ‘just like a bought one’ when you put it back together. Can’t wait for part 2.

    Man these keep cleaning up real nice. Such amazing designs for being over 100 years old.

    I am a retired professional clockmaker that ran a very productive shop for over 30 years. The repair that you did was hard to do because of the wear and the punched up plate. well done with a couple of things, number one you put the bushing in backwards and you did not show if you polished the pivots. It is a must that you polish the pivots because if you don’t, it will wear the bushing out very quickly.

    Nice job Ron! I like your willingness to just try something and learn a new skill. I did a brake job on my 25 year old pickup last year, had a few little hiccups but it turned out great and I learned something new. Thanks for the video!

    Wow Ronnie for an amateur repair person you've done really good work so far in restoring it back into a working clock.
    Found a problem and fixed it. I know, more goodiness to follow.

    Good you took on the bushing challenge. I'm not a clock guy but a retired machinist, keep your eye out for a small drill press while at the flea markets. You will be able to keep things true perpendicular and on true location, you'll alo then have your press. I know it's amature repair time but I think it would unlock your courage and capabilities. I'm glad you had success just the way you did it. I can't wait for the follow up!

    U need to use the main spring clamps to work safely order those from supply clock store too. 😊

      I've got some I can't figure out how to fit them in the plates.

  • @QuongWing-q2c

    Order some cleaning fluid from clock supply store, for your cleaning machine, they sell it, good stuff.

    Great job. Now you need the rest of the tools for bushings--punches, drifts. And a small drill press for your clocks. Something for a Dremel-type tool.

    I had a clock that appears they had a bad bushing and just filled it with solder to fill the gap. It's loose now and since I don't know when they did the work it may have been a good fix or may have been a total failure. Also, dumb question but couldn't you just put the whole movement in the ultrasonic cleaner for a long time and avoid taking it apart?

    I know nothing about clocks... so no complaints from me! Nice mechanism. Did I spy a cuckoo clock in the pile of clocks?

      I will be doing cuckoo clocks soon! I have about 20 😅

    Maybe those corners were just taped until the glue dried..

    Some guy in 130 opening it up to fix: "oh this looks like some amateur named Ron worked on this. Quality.... Amateur quality." Hopefully they will say the same: Thanks for the videos!

    Yes, those mainsprings are pretty scary 😨. As long as they're enclosed in a barrel, you're fine. Still, however, do ALWAYS use common sense with mainsprings in barrels. They can still spring out of the barrel if jostled or mishandled. P.S., I REALLY like 👍 the LOUD ticking sound of your clock ⏰️. Happy Thanksgiving (Gobble Gobble)!! Your friend, Jeff.

    Ron, If you still have that Wall Clock you tried to fix many years ago. Maybe it could be time to revisit it. I think you might be able to fix it totally now. See you next Sunday!
