What could be wrong when the hour gong chimes sometimes but not always?

I would check the operation of the rack and snail mechanism, perhaps its occasionally sticking?

The safest bet is to make a new arbor although it is possible to drill both ends where broken but is it strong enough afterwards, I restore torsion clocks and have re pivoted but not joined a broken arbor, when you get it apart give me dimensions as I have a lot of non torsion clock spares.

Hi David hope your well, I agree with @volofly2011 it is going to be a challenge, this is something you don’t see often they are normally just bent I think you are going to be be better off remaking one as a challenge will be that arbour will possibly be bent and it needs to be straight as your hands will scratch the dial, the position that has broken is a challenge & a half to repair it there, it’s a leap of faith job, maybe make a new piece that you could put the back part with the pinion and wheel into a sleeve then join the new made price so the join would be in the middle if you know what I mean, so in other words you have 2 pieces going into a sleeve ,so in other words pinion and wheel at one end new made arbour at the other both coming together in a sleeve, but either way I hope you crack it👍👍

Thani you for sharing your work. I used heat treating in my last project to straighten a watch hand. So handy for some tasks, would have helped to see this first. Do you find using borax on the part when heating to red is helpful? There is probably an app to remove the background noise. I'm looking for one myself.
@davidhaggarty 19 күн бұрын
I haven't used borax before but I've heard of mixed results. The great watchmaker George Daniels used household soap to prevent fire staining, so I might give that a go next time, and hopefully save me some cleaning work. I use Da Vinci Resolve for video editing and I'm sure that it can remove the background garage fan heater noise, I just need to work out how to do it, - still learning how to use it! Thank you for your comments, they are much appreciated.

Hi there, First off, thanks so much for your video! It’s awesome to see that people are still keeping these ticking along (pun intended). I recently rescued a grandfather clock off the side of the road-honestly, it’s like we were meant to find each other. I think it’s the same movement as in your video, but here’s where the plot thickens: I’m missing the pendulum crutch, the pendulum itself, *the* weight, and (because why not?) the small gear that moves the countwheel. Could you help me out with a few details? Specifically, the measurements of the pendulum and crutch, how the pendulum sits on the hook, and the diameter of that small gear. Oh, and one last thing-how heavy is the weight? You know, like... the weight of the weight? 😄 Thanks so much for your help!

Hi David I recently inherited a William Smith long case clock and the movement seems to be similar to what you show in the video. I am wondering if the movement you showed here had a half hour strike? Because I thought I remember mine to have had one at my gradparents place, however, there is none and I can not find any hint on it in the movement.

@davidhaggarty 5 ай бұрын
The speed of the clock is governed by the pendulum length. To speed the clock up you shorten the length. On the pendulum Mercury weight will be a thumbscrew to turn and shorten the length. Just a small fraction of a turn required to see the effect. Have fun!

I just bought a mercury pendulum clock with the candelabras at a local antique shop here in France. I have bought many clocks from him over the years but this mercury one fascinated me. Is your machine for putting the springs back homemade or can you buy them. I have another clock that someone poured a gallon of oil into the springs and I need to clean them.

Hello Peter. Yes the mercury pendulum clocks are fascinating and mine keeps excellent time. I made my own mainspring machine out of metal, based on a Joe Collins design which is easy and safe to use. I would certainly recommend making one, the plans are available free on-line (check out the NAWCC forums).

Dear David , I would like to give you a suggestion regarding your contents here on KZbin. I noticed that you are very busy with your (to do list) besides repairing watches . How about combining other things that you do and upload here ? Per example your work with the beehive or repairing your car . I understand when you are inside your shop repairing your clocks you just set up your camera and you don’t have to deal with it anymore and the other activities you will need to be caring it everywhere and adjusting as well. Unless you prefer to keep your channel only for clock and watch repairs. I follow someone in England who was only focusing in one hobby of his and then he decided to record everything he does around the house and car repair . His number of followers was surprising. He has many similarities that you have such as A very calm voice , a clear pronunciation of words, a kind and shy way to communicate with your viewers, you don’t use any sound background in your videos , you appear to be passionate with what you do. Overall you are very talented like being the composer , the conductor and the orchestra ALL IN ONE . if you have the time to record what you do other then repairing clocks and watch I believe you will be even more successful. Use what you have : your personality and good looks . Combine both and shine high . Wishing you the best and great health .

@@BILLBRAZIL100Hello Bill, as you probably know I still do a full time job and so my time in the workshop is limited. When I video the clocks the job takes twice as long whilst I wrestle with cameras, and then the editing afterwards takes several hours to produce a video of a minimum standard that I'm happy with The other projects would take much longer. So hopefully when I retire I may be able to expand my horizons, I have got lots of projects lined up which I'd love to video! .Thanks for watching Bill, and take care.
