Sold this one long ago. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks for the comment and yes center of attention for sure! She has turned into my shop supervisor LOL.

FYI, Cuckooland has been sold, purchased by the Museum of Time located in Waterford city Ireland. Grand opening of the Cuckoo clock collection will be early summer 2025.

Yes centering is important especially when the original hole is worn in one direction. Always a good idea to file the opposite side of the hole equal to the worn side so the cutter stays centered. When using a bushing machine it is less likely the bit will cut off center if that makes sense. In this video I was drilling from the side with less wear placing the pointer bit slowly up and down into the hole and re positioning the plate until I saw no side to side deflection of the pointer (centering) bit, then lock the plate at that point to drill. I hope this information is helpful to you.

From Germany B/F. 👍🏻

@@TheBlackForestClockShop Vague idea who it could be and I sold him a table Beha a few years ago.

Very nice, music is always extra special! I sold this several years ago now.

@TheBlackForestClockShop I see. Ever been to Furtwangen?

@@gaiuscoleman8815 Yes I’ve been several times to Furtwangen. I am currently in Germany and attended the Eisenbach clock fair, toured St Märgen Kloster museum (being it’s amongst my favorite) and the Junghans museum also w/ Heinrich Engelmann’s collection on display. Both are a must see!

Good for you. Did you find the big cuckoo quail there you sold?

@@gaiuscoleman8815In Germany yes but not from Eisenbach, from a dealer I know.

Yes this is true the table version Beha 510 is very similar to the 361, both can be found in several variations from other clock makers as well. They were probably amongst the most popular style at that time and therefore seen more often today.

​@@TheBlackForestClockShopBut the 510 has a soft gong strike and the 361 has a really loud gong and a strange reverb.

Thanks Jim! I finally used this method today, and the rusty regula chains came out looking great. Not pewter like yours, more copper/light brass. Ordered some T-9, and will coat them when it arrives.

Glad you enjoyed my video, mine is still running but I’ve purchased their 6 Liter unit for grandfather clock movements now. When doing small parts I just bag them in a ziplock baggie w/ cleaner and fill the u/c with water, works like a charm and saves on cleaner. 👍🏻

Thanks for your input, I completely agree!

There is a link in the video description to the Cuckooland Museum so I think it's still operational fren.

Hi Jessica, best to go on a clock group on facebook where you can get prompt answers and advice. Here is a link, m.facebook.com/groups/54690673150/?ref=share&mibextid=S66gvF

Как я понял это кожа ягненка и она не должна тянуться, при этом быть тонкой. Спасибо.

Yes, just not so thin that it becomes hard to work with.

There is one 10” gong on the inside back plate. Both the hour and monk strike on the same gong.

Yes it’s not used too often but a great tool when needed. I’ll have one for sale after I finish a wooden case for it but you can find them occasionally on eBay.

Gracias por el comentario espero que te haya sido útil.

I no longer have this clock but I believe around 2.5 to 3 lbs. the counter weight (small rock) maybe a few ounces. If you are putting a clock together, just find a stone that will keep the clock working and remember the counter weight will subtract its weight from the larger stone.

Sorry for the delay, I'm not sure who the FF would be however there are a few possibilities but none I can confirm. I'll ask around while in Eisenbach this April. Perhaps someone will have the correct answer. Jim

@@TheBlackForestClockShop appreciated thanks
