[@brianwarburton4482]

Thanks for the time and trouble you are taking with these videos. They are first class and much appreciated.

[@TommyJobson]

thank you, I’m really pleased that you are enjoying them.

Thanks for sharing this. Here in my local we see very few fusee clocks. I have only had 2 in for repair in the last 20 years! So it's very interesting to see this work set up.

[@TommyJobson]

glad you enjoyed it.

Great videos to look forward to twice a week Tommy, time consuming out of your day but much appreciated for nearly 500 people's pleasure 👍

[@TommyJobson]

thanks Neil. I’ll try to keep them coming for you.

Tommy, Your centre height finder will only be accurate when your lathe bed is also spot on level front to back won't it ?

I have a hand tool someone made for cutting fusee cones from blanks. I probably have a few blanks kicking around also lol

[@TommyJobson]

Well if you want to get rid, let me know!

[@EvilUnderTone]

@@TommyJobson I have a few odds and sods. 8" Fusee in Oak c1930. 14" convex c1860 and a couple of London 12" clocks. Genuine not lash up's. I never traded in marriages only original clocks. Most of the spares I sold off but I still have that fusee cutting tool and cones. Just drop me a message if you're interested.

How are these cut without cnc threads on a curve originally?

[@TommyJobson]

You use a lot tool that can follow the curve of the cone, there are various types. It mounts on the cross-slide and moves with the carriage and you apply the pressure to keep it on the surface of the cone by hand.

camera angle is from behind the chuck. cant figure out when you were machining. similarly your hands block critical views around 9.30 and 6.00. kindly note while making instructional videos. wolderful tool height aligner. great

[@TommyJobson]

Thanks for the comment, I would point out that these are not intended as instructional videos, they are simply for the enjoyment of people who have an interest. All the best, Tommy

[@colsanjaybajpai5747]

Tommy Jobson great videos and lot of instructional content too. God bless you dear. You could setup your camera in future videos.

Seeing chips fly is weirdly entertaining for a lot of people.
