Antique Clock Restoration - The Complete Job - Part 4, Pivot Polishing and Fusee Spacers.

[@Chrisclockrepair]

I am eagerly awaiting part 5. I haven't worked on a bracket clock yet. I am learning a lot.

[@KevinWoodsWorkshop]

Thanks Tommy for another interesting video. It’s always good to watch a true craftsman at work and thanks for the information on working out the beats per min, I can use that formula on my clock.

[@TommyJobson]

No problem, glad you found it useful.

[@JosueSampedro]

Exelent job !!!

[@jamesnicholson3313]

Another wonderful video many thanks Tommy, I like the detail of the shims and spacers, and making the pivots parallel and then burnishing, once again many thanks for a beautiful job and an extremely interesting one. Jim from AUSTRALIA.

No problem, thanks for watching.

Thank you, great examples of adapting without replacing parts.

[@TommyJobson]

Thanks very much. It's all part of restoring as much of the original object as possible.

[@TommyJobson]

Thank you too!

Hope you are well. I have some questions regarding a grandfather clock, the blessing or movement is a Tempest Fugit. I dont have the weights that go on the chains, are they suppose to be same or different. Is the weights something i can create myself or is it a special process. Also the clock does not have its pendulum. This clock was a gift to us.

Hi Tommy, I hope all is well, looking back through a few of your videos, watching this one I noticed you file and burnish pivots in a sea saw motion which I was only doing in a forward motion, is that of real importance? And I notice you flipping your file and burnisher while using them, is that just you working on two clean faces before wiping? I can only use my file/burnisher on one face as it has chamfered sides

[@sonnymoorehouse1941]

Love your videos !!!! whats the hand drill you use ? whats the oldest clock you have worked on ?

[@TommyJobson]

Thanks. I think it's a Record hand drill. I think the oldest clock I've worked on is probably around 1670. I've handled older but not been lucky enough to work on them.

[@TheKnacklersWorkshop]

Hello Tommy, SORRY for all the questions but I am keen to learn/understand. Is that a cork block you were using when deburring? Take care. Paul,,

[@TommyJobson]

No problem at all, thanks for the interest. Yes I use a cork decorating block to rest on when filing/de buring etc.

[@HansFormerlyTraffer]

Is the burnisher a certain kind of steel? I would like to make one.

[@TommyJobson]

They are commercially bought pivot files and burnishes. I believe the steel is high carbon in a semi hardened state.
