Where can I get a similar winder?

Hi Yan Kras, thanks for sharing ur idea. Just like to know where did you get your mini chuck head? Amazon??

Tommy jobson eat your heart out

Some pro clock builders still use oil while others switched to grease long ago stating it remains on parts much longer than oil & dont ruin their clock cabinets dripping off. Grease is used on steering parts, oil is not because grease stays put. Some people claim WD40 is the best oil here, fact is WD is a terrible lube! True! It's a good parts cleaner & good moisture fighter as well. That's what WD was really developed to do for US military. Works on rusty/seized bolts/nuts too but its simply no good as a friction fighter, a lube shouldn't evaporate which WD40 so quickly does. Why not use a non petroleum full syn dielectric grease since it clearly stays on much longer than oil. Many new full syn automotive brake lubes for instance are the best lubes ever made at resisting water, heat, drop & friction fighting. Being they dont harm aluminum/brass, rubber nor plastic parts my bet is they wont harm any treated metals either but idk that without test results? Most oils were petro based back in the day, Id say most effected everything back then. Being most lubes made today weren't around 25yrs ago much less 125yrs ago. I have to wonder if they had just part of our lube choices back then would they have ditched oil for grease instead? As I said, seeing both oil & grease getting used inside these clock rebuilds, it just makes me question which one really is best? Many just go by the books, I get it. But do they still run $2 spark plugs in older cars & change them every 25k when 100k mile plugs that also improve mpgs are available? I don't! I've seen some very nice clock cabinets in bad shape due to oiling, most I'll blame on over oiling by owners but still yet, that damage is done -$$$. Maybe, just maybe a good grease might of prevented all of it?

Thank you! The man with the plan.

I just made your winder for my Kundo. I mounted the hook a little too close to the spring on the first try, so it wasn't holding out enough of the "tail" of the spring to work with on reinsertion, but after adjusting that, the thing was great! I also used 3/4" wood blocks for the barrel clamp thinking it might prevent scratching the brass a bit better . Also I used 1/2" copper tubing for the crank shaft and crimped the end around the hex body #6 tip from my spring let down set. It's a tight enough fit and allows me to just plug in any size tip that's needed in the future. (I know - us KZbinrs sometimes just can't leave well enough alone.) Many thanks Yan!

Will this winder work for all barrel springs?

👍✨

where do you get the spring keepers? or did you make them? if so what did you make the spring keepers from? thanks

where do you get the holders for the springs? or did you make them? i can make the letdown tools with old keys and your type of winder but i do not know yet about the spring keeps thanks

Very nicely done. Thank you for sharing. I’m going to make one!

I really like the simplicity of your winder, I'm making one. Thanks

شكرا جزيلا..سيدي..تحياتي..بغداد| العراق..

Where did you get your chuck i want to build a winder like yours? Thank you very interesting/

Merci beaucoup pour ce vidéo très intéressant.

Great job. Will contact you soon

What does the inside of the barrel clamp look like? Did you recess grooves so it doesn't clamp on the teeth?

The dia of the copper pipe is less than internal dia of the barrel ?

How many joules of energy it store when winding it up How much it gives turned to dynamo by some gearing so we got electricity Chabi wala radio banega Battery less gadgets by using the electricity produced by actuator of cigarettes lighter or gas lighter ?

How did you make the hooks?

Hi Yan, I would like to buy a winder like yours. Any ideas? Thanks

Ingenious,Brilliant!

Glad to see you're back making videos!

👏👏👏Good job!

👍👍👍

Спасибо. Буду делать себе такую же!

Wtf?

Brilliant! This is just what I needed to see and hear. I will be making one straight away for my anniversay clock repair. Thanks.

Your device for springs included in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHute2OjhJuXpJI

I have never seen a 400 day clock mainspring that looked like that.

What is this chuck called? what stores sell them, If you be so kind to let me know?Thank you amacko

Will be available in May 2016

No he recibido respuesta

only one

It is an excellent work too. You manufactures and sells. What is the value including shipping to Colombia.? If so send me like contact whit you

Good job ! (rubbing the crank on a candle would stop the squeaking noise without staining the wood with greasy material)

A little bit of soap, or grease on the crank shaft would take care of the groaning.

Great ingenuity. Some scrap wood, steel rod, tap holding tool, copper fitting modified, and electrical grounding clamp for water pipe. It works well, and can be made very inexpensively. Calling it the best tool for the job is silly talk. A professional winder is a better tool and will fit more applications, but if you don't work with clock springs very often, what can be better than making a tool like this for less than $10? Bravo!!!

Gotta love the home made tools. :)

Sorry, but it looks like it was made by a 12-year old girl.

Not only this tool is wonderful, but the video is great in any aspect! Thanks a lot for your perfect job!!!

Great product to buy the equivalent is approx £200

Thanks a lot for the video. very helpful. I tried to take so a spring out manually and it is very hard work. Thanks for sharing. Best regards,

Where am I ?

Home Depot, plumbers section, 1 1/4" to 1.00" copper reduser

I copied this design exactly out of steel. My problem is I can't find a good sleeve. Did you make this one ?

I just got done ripping up my hands in a futile (and dangerous) attempt to wind a barrel spring. After about 3 hours of scratching my head, I decided to ask google for an image of a main spring winding tool and this video is what it came up with. I could have built this instead of shredding my fingers. Thanks for the ingenious winding machine!!! Excellent!

This will not play. As soon as I click to play, it switches to a collage of other suggestions. Dang!

Brilliant!

Very good video. The explanation is simple and the demonstration answers all the questions.
