When you heated the material red, I'm sure that was to anneal before making that 90 degree bend. After bending and drilling the holes I'm sure you tempered. What was that material and what did you quench in?
The only part that was annealed was at the bend. There was no need to retemper that part. In fact, leaving the bend untempered keeps it from cracking under stress. The only other material I used was the chemical blueing agent to make it match the original.

The punch was a spring-loaded center punch, but it did not make the holes. It just put an indent to center a small drill and keep it from wandering off center. I drilled the holes with a small drill. Did not show that in the video.
Very interesting, does that keep the clock running and chiming at the right speed? My clock goes almost 15 minutes faster ever 24 hours, and chimes faster also! I have used my trousers as a wash cloth many times too. Lol Also, is there anything you cannot do? I was a concrete finisher for almost forty years and everthing you have done, I would put my name on! My fatherinlaw was similar to you, he would try anything, taught me lots!

There is nothing this man can't do! 👍
I can't play basketball and I can't figure out my wife, even after 56 years.

perfect job what was that punch that made the holes

Nice, thanks for share!
Thank you too!

Just found out from the owner of the clock that the spring is for the lever, called a rack, that controls the number of hours the clock strikes.
What kind of torch were you using to heat the steel with?
