I love hearing the tick tock in the background as you calmly explain everything. Great job on the video editing and getting up close shots as well. This channel is a treasure.
I’m not a watchmaker, but I do work with fine mechanics machines, I fully agree with the way you have repaired shaft and gear. Springs manufacture is awesome. Very nice job. Thanks for the sharing
Thanks, Parts such as these torsion springs are not available on the open market so fabricating what is needed is only way to getting these movements operating again.
James, I am so enjoying watching your videos and expertise, you are also so patient and thoughtful with your work, thank you so much for showing these videos.
Again, all hail the Clockstar! It is amazing to watch you make the tools and parts required to bring a dead movement back to life! I’m certain it is as good as the day it left the factory!!
@@jamesmartin5370 Sir I'm a Disabled veteran who would love to have you fix my clock:-) How would I get it to you? I could watch your videos all day, truly awesome.
You probably won't see many. Torsion springs are an item not available from clock supply houses. No one is fabricating them anymore. Most of the movements that use them have been discarded and removed from service.
As a child 5 or 6, the rich people at the end of the street had an almost identical clock. The owner wound it and made no click sound, which was my favorite part. I was fascinated. He said it used a torsion spring clutch. Then he sketched out how it worked. Never forgot. His wife was really annoyed he was talking to a child and not the adult guests. We both got a verbal spanking so severe i never wanted to back whenever my mom would stop by.
Ok, I have been amazed witnessing your skills in the other videos, but when you fabricated the springs, I was REALLY AMAZED! Thank you for demonstrating how the spring grips the shaft.
Thanks, Every calculation needs to be correct for a spring of this type to function on the first run. The mandrels need to be sized so that when the spring wire is removed from the tool it will spring to correct diameters and such. Making the tool jigs correct is critical to getting the spring correct on the first run. I made two of each spring to have some degree of safety net, they turned out great,. These type of springs to fit these clocks are un-available from any of the clock supply houses, this is the only way I know how to supply them to the customer.
Thanks Deeran, Wasn't sure if that center arbor would bend that far without breaking but it was fairly soft, saved it so didn't need to fabricate a new one, customer was happy.
Thanks Joel, I talked to the owner of this clock several days ago. It was many years not working because the torsion springs were broke and no way to wind it. The movement is back in the case and keeping great time.
@@jamesmartin5370 yes especially seeing how some of the parts were bent. It also seemed quite clean as well. You said the guy will oil it and so forth does he do clock repair as well? When you were straightening the geer how did you know which side to bend so that it would be straight. I watched you check the run out and bend what seems to be the opposite side of the geer to bring it true ,all i can say great job.
@@myqueentitanbug28 He only does work on his own items, he doesn't have a full collection of tools yet. I bent the side of the gear with the bend in the sprocket arm to bring it back to true.
You are a master of masters. Is there anything you can't make?. Dang. I need a trumpeter's arm and pendulum for a Schmeckenbecher Nuremberg Cathedral clock, and I think that is a big deal. Wow!. When I saw you fabricate that cat's tail from the aluminum sheeting, I realized there was very little you can't make if you need to.
Always a joy to see a true craftsman at work 👍🏻 Im learning alot from your work 😊 Btw I have made my first piece, a gathering pallet to a beautyful scottish longcase clock, i bought on craighslist for 100$ would you believe it Its now restored to former glory and keeps time within a couple of sec. Per day The only thing remaining is that the door on the case is bend and i would ask you if you Got a tip regarding that problem its a solid door, steam maybe ?
Nice job. What is the purpose of the torsion springs? Is the idea to combine a weight driven clock with a spring driven clock, or to limit the travel on the weights? Thanks.
The torsion springs are used instead of the common ratchet wheel and click system. The ID of the torsion springs are about 2 thousands smaller than the winding arbor they fit on. When pulling on chain to pull weight up the torsion spring slips on the winding arbor like a clutch slipping. When the chain is released the winding arbor attempts to rotate in opposite direction and the torsion spring tightens around it holding the weight in place. Same principle as a Chinese finger trap works.
You put a replica label on the door of a repaired clock. Where can I find these replica labels? I have a ST 124f Nov 50. Door is 4x6 inches. Thank you for your time and videos.
This clock had and still has no identifying label or markings. Label showed in video is only an example of what original may have looked like if it was on the clock. No replica labels for this clock available that I know of.

Thank You,
This was an interesting clock to get running again, those springs are just not being made anymore.

Nice work fabricating the torsion springs. 👍👍👍
Thanks,
Parts such as these torsion springs are not available on the open market so fabricating what is needed is only way to getting these movements operating again.
I also meant to comment on the fabricated tools. It reminded me of the stories of the clock makers in the past. I’m sure they did that a lot.
James, I am so enjoying watching your videos and expertise, you are also so patient and thoughtful with your work, thank you so much for showing these videos.
Thanks Brett, wish I had the case here at the same time but some of these cases are just to large to ship.
Brother you sure had your hands full with this one. Thanks for the videos.
Again, all hail the Clockstar! It is amazing to watch you make the tools and parts required to bring a dead movement back to life! I’m certain it is as good as the day it left the factory!!
Owner has got it back in its case, says its now dialed in, and its keeping great time.

Quite the special episode! Seeing quite a few new repair techniques and custom tooling! Incredible work!

I've watched all of your videos, you are amazing! Thank you for take the time to make these videos. Best wishes from Joe from southern California!!

Impressionnant la fabrication du spring
Very nice job in straightening out the bent parts and making new springs.
Thanks John,
Was amazed at how little wear was in this movement for its age.

Thank you for showing the lathe work.
Seems like it takes tools to make tools sometimes, would have been tough to make those straitening sleeves without a lathe.

Those arms seem to be venerable on those clocks, many of them get broke, I have seen some made of plastic and some carved out of wood.

What do you figure caused the bend?
Poor packing, movement was loose in box when received, shaft was sticking out of the packing box and got hit during shipping.
Excellent
Цікаво, 😊це я вперше бачу відновлення підлогового годинника тут,хай щастить
Я можу показати лише невеликий зразок того, що я виправляю. Занадто зайнятий ремонтом, щоб знімати їх усі. Дякую
@@jamesmartin5370 я зараз ремонтую підлоговий годинник, вже полагодив,зробив настройки і він гарно працює
Great job!
Thanks George
@@jamesmartin5370 It would be great to get your email address. I've got a couple of watches that could use some help.

How are you Mr. Martin?
Cool
This was an interesting movement, especially the torsion spring winding system used on it, very smooth and quiet when winding the chains.
@@jamesmartin5370 Wonderful. Very interesting.
So... are you a clockmaker or a machinist? I'm confused... 🤣
👍👌❤️🆒
