Mark this is a good start on repairing this type clock. Several things that you did not do. I suggest you look at some You Tube videos, there are lots of them! I think you will enjoy working on these. You need to learn simple bushing replacement procedures. You need a few basic tools to do bushings by hand. Timesavers is a good source for everything you need.I LOVE TO WATCH YOU WORK.

Thank you! I will look into those hand bushing tools, I did not know they were available.

18:30 Spring Clamps, or even strong zip-ties or metal wire would keep the movement from flying apart during disassembly, and would make reassembly easier and safer. I enjoy seeing each clock repairer's different techniques - thanks for posting!

Thanks for the info. I'm not sure where I would place the clamps or zip-ties. Thanks for watching!

@@mherzog7 @dperry428 has a video which shows him letting down and capturing (clamping) the mainsprings: "Repairing T's Gilbert Mantel Clock Movement" starting about 8:07 in that video.

Great video Mark I have done many spring wound clocks and replaced bushings with some success and some fails. If you want to continue with this kind of clocks you need more tools but I bought mine a few at a time and the bare minimum to do the job (ex: hand spring winder, hand bushing reamer ,movement holder, spring clamps) Good Job

Ingrahams are a great clock to own... They are very accurate time-keepers and are easy to maintain... Great video....

Thanks, so far I haven’t done enough of these to get a mainspring winder, did not know of a hand bushing reamer, but starting to consider both.

Great video Mark, you're a brave man taking on that job!. I've seen center punch marks on those bushings, where they made the bushing tighter. Might work if you have no tools yet. Thanks. Adrian

Please don't use a punch to try to repair a worn pivot hole since it is a only a temporary fix to a long term problem. Best take it to an experienced clockmaker for a proper bushing job until you get the correct tools for clock repair.

Thanks, I might go for a mainspring winder, but have no plans to fix bushings with a punch. @@brettfavrewelfarequeen9886

@@mherzog7 Good, especially on these antique movements. Yes, a spring winder and clamps are must to do this safely. As for bushings, they can be done by hand. Of course you'll need a digital micrometer, reamers, broaches, small hammer and block etc. I would also recommend a set of assembly posts and a test stand. There are a few excellent YT channels on clock repair such as James Martin, Scottie's Clock World, and D Perry just to name a few.

I repair these clocks for fun, not for a living, I do not do enough of this type to warrant such an investment. I have seen a few of the YT channels, some are quite informative. @@brettfavrewelfarequeen9886

I am working on a similar movement. 1913 from an Ingraham gingerbread clock. This will be my first attempt at replacing bushings, and it needs a bunch. Would be happy to collaborate.

I have not replaced any bushings, and do not have the wherewithal to do it. I did, however, see a good video on KZbin of a guy who shows how to replace them. I am sure you can find it. Good luck.
