You should have told the varning for the main spring release at the beginning of the demonstration. I got scared and had no pictures to help me put it back together!

Really helpful in assisting me in refining my cleaning techniques. I appreciate your careful teaching about the main spring.

Ken, thank you for a really good lesson. You have taught me some very helpful vocabulary (wheels not gears!) and I look forward to the rest of this series of videos.

Nice video! Others recommend using grease on sliding surfaces (pallets, clutch, etc.). What are the advantages or disadvantages to oil versus grease?

This was amazing Ken thankyou for this. I'm now off on a venture to learn how to set the beat on a wall clock I recently acquired. I also discovered that there's a clock repair shop in my town, because I'm a retiree and have lots of "time" on my hands (pun intended) I'm going to see if they have an apprentice/volunteer opportunity rather than me spending thousands of dollars on tools to support a new hobby....Thanks again Bill (not sure why my profile name doesn't appear)

Thank you for this video. It was indeed possible to get absorbed in the process. I too think some commentary would be helpful. It could be a voice-over added in post-production, in fact that might be the best approach. Watching a second time, everything fit together better. I was surprised not to see any flux used in the soldering steps. Was that off-camera? Did I just miss it both times? Is there a reason not to use flux? Another question was why do so much fitting using a hand graver? Very skillful, but without explanation it would seem that mounting the tool in the lathe carriage would ensure a true surface. And, again, thanks to NAWCC for producing this and the other videos I've found. I'm a member and I do appreciate them.

Excellent tutorial which I enjoy viewing even though I have been repairing clocks for over 30 years. Always enjoy seeing and learning from other repairer's their techniques. As a long distance member of the NAWCC for almost 30 years with no chapters in my region to share my interest, this type of medium such as You Tube is ideal for newbies and other members. I hope to see more of these in the future and encourage you to also advertise the benifits of NAWCC membership to new viewers with each You Tube video you publish. So as they say - Like, Subscribe and Join. Best wishes from country South Australia.

Very good video on service. I am bit confused seeing packing tape used on historic objects to hold tags in a museum. The conservators I know would reprimand me if I did that with any tape.
@NAWCCMuseum7 ай бұрын
Hi Brian, Thanks for the comment raising concern over the use of tape to label the cases. These clocks are used for training students at the School of Horology and are not part of the museum collection. Hope this help s to clarify.

What is the difference between the arrangement of wheels in the mechanism of clock or watch with sub second hand and clock or watch with centre second (thin and long second hand pivoted co-auxial with hour and minute hand)?
@noelaruldas11529 ай бұрын
Is the motion work direct part of going train or connected to the going train in this clock?
