Just caught up with Lesson 2 now. Great idea on the graphic representation to support photo's. Learning 'things' already, so looking forward to Lesson 3. Many Thanks. Ron
This could be the most important part, sure wish I had done this! I took pictures but hard to figure out which is which. Working on my first disassembly of a New Haven 8 day banjo which is very similar to this. It had a broken mainspring on the time side that broke into many pieces. Looking forward to the journey ahead-- thanks Scottie.
Paul make special notes on the strike levers, placement and i know Scottie will go through the way to set them up, that is what I am fighting with right now.
@@billleeds4023 yeah- me too! took it apart and reassembled strike train-it locks, goes into warning, runs---but does not stop!! I can't see anything hanging up or binding- put it down and come back to it.
Hi Scottie -a question if I may After I’ve disassembled the clock what would happen if the time side main spring on reassembling went back in the strike side of the clock and visa versa - would the clock work??
Yes, the clock will still work. The strike and going side Great Wheels and mainsprings each have slightly different wear patterns that's why it's best to return them to their original train.
Hi just started watching your series. I've inherited a Sessions clock from my Grandparents. It needs some new bushes. What is the best way to purchase these items from Timesavers? And what are the best sizes to buy? I'm in New Zealand
Hi Barry, postage from the US is extremely high and very slow since Covid. I get all my clock parts from Cousinsuk.com. Their postage is quite reasonable and parcels arrive in a couple of weeks. Best to see which bushings need to be replaced before ordering. You will also require some reamers or broaches. I have some good videos of this on my channel. Let me know if I can help you further.
I had understood that when the energy stored in the mainspring or cable of weight wound around the barrel is repeatedly forwarded and reversed from main wheel to escape wheel it causes the pendulum or balance wheel to keep oscillating and causes the motion work to drive the hands of the clock for many days. When the energy is forwarded it causes the escapement to push the pendulum or balance wheel forward everytime it returns backward and when the energy reverses it causes the motion work to drive the hands of the clock either the motion work is direct part or connected to the going train. The gear train that drives the hands of analog quartz clocks too follow the same method of gear train of watch with centre second whose motion work is direct part of the going train but the mainspring barrel is replaced by battery and lever escapement and balance wheel are replaced by small peizo electric motor which is composed of tuning fork shaped soft iron piece, solenoid coil and rotor sprocket between the prongs of the tuning fork (small pinion with magnet in it's base) and small electronic circuit board of resistors, tuning fork shaped quartz crystal oscillator sealed in small cylindrical metal container, 15 flip flops (each flip flop is 2 transistors kept crossing each other), microprocessor chip, etc.
Hi Scot I am hobbyist beginner .I have identical movement which I bought on ebay but without pendulum. Could you please give me some information about it I mean length and weight if is possible please
The pendulum is 195 mm long and weighs 118 g. I have uploaded a pic of the original pendulum here: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_o7BiNaMPU-eZOapMKYM4mXaFe7Wj_W2 file: jnovak.jpg
Hello and thank you for your videos. One question, my clock chimes correctly when I move it manually but when working for itself it chimes one time in the half hour and always one time in the full hours. Any suggestion? Thank you.

This is a fantastic way to keep track of what goes where❤
thanks for your comment, I am glad that the video was useful for you.

@ron2143, I am glad it was helpfull, there is lots more to come.
Thank you very much Scott
Not a problem.
Great info I didn't even think of that idea.
@billleeds4023, every little but helps.😀
Nice display of the wheels.
@justmike57, yes, the movement was pretty clean so it photographed well.
How do I Remove the hands mechanism that turns the hands from the back of a mantel clock? Your help is appreciated. Jill
Do you mean the Motion Works that sits between the going and strike trains?
You are my hero

Thank you for sharing this orientation of the wheels but before camera's I use to draw them out guess I'm getting older lol 😆

What brand/type is your clock?
@@ScottiesClockWorld can I send you a picture? It’s a wall model that has a horse on top but I don’t know the brand. Thank you.
@@vaidimproviso4574 , yes send me a pic.
