What is a Fusee, Part Two.

[@carolynatkinson9553]

thanks cliff best demonstration on fusee set up on utube my husband told me to let you know very good video thanks

[@mrvolt-240]

Perfect- just what I needed to know. Have had several American clocks under repair and now running in the shed, but just had my first Fusee movement project and didn’t know where to start. Now I can get the new project underway 👍

Mahalo Cliff, enjoyed every minute, and learning something...... now if I can just remember what I learned when I need it!

1984 Cliff, I wasn't born then. Clocks are another world. Amazing mechanism, brilliant explanation. Tony

[@mylesdenny7981]

Thanks for the video . I just bought a clock with the fusee. So now with your video help I can get it running. 👍

[@hervefaro4450]

Excellent demo I like that. Thanks.

Hello Cliff, A really interesting video... you're a man of many talents... Take care. Paul,,

[@angelramos-2005]

Excellent presentation´Cliff.Thank you.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Cliff, the clock mechanism is a true work of art and to be able to strip it down and put it back together and have it works is a skill in itself, I’d have more bits on the floor lost for life if I did it, great video series mate, throughly enjoying this, cheers

Brilliant that cleared up a few mysteries just what I needed thanks Cliff.

Hello Cliff. Hope all is well over there across the ocean. Any new projects on the horizon?? Take care...hope to see you soon!!

Fusees were made between 1870 and 1920. Mine is a wall clock. The pallets bridge and pendulum were missing so I bought second hand parts. Although it would run, it gained about three hours a day which is outside the scope of adjustment. The pallets are wrong (angle etc). New pallets can be bought but I don't have the skill to get them to the right angles and distance apart. I will probably have to pay an expert to fix it. Mine (a Post Office clock) dates from 1907 or before and was wrecked by kids after it retired when the Post Office moved but somebody else took away the parts. I have replaced, repaired and made all the other parts so at least it will never get scrapped.

[@colmone5592]

Mine has a wire cable instead of the chain yours has. It was broken so I replaced it with a pushbike gear cable. This worked perfectly.

[@RetroSteamTech]

Fascinating stuff Cliff. Your overhead camera mount is working a treat. Cheers, Alan.

[@retromechanicalengineer]

Fascinating video Cliff, the clock mechanism is a real piece of quality work. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and congratulations on the 5,000 subs. Best wishes, Dean in Oxfordshire.

[@phillace]

hello Cliff , you have been quiet lately , what are the chances of a tour of your workshop , i only ask because i'm struggling in a 6'x8' shed and you seem to have acres of room you lucky so and so !

[@TrPrecisionMachining]

good video cliffs

[@jbranstetter04]

I would like to have seen the chain wind all the way on to the drum to see how much of it is left on the fusee. One of mine had three or four rows of chain still on the fusee when it was unwound. Thinking that I need to put more tension on the drum.

[@CliffsShed]

Definitely, it should be off to the hook.

[@davidberlanny3308]

Great video, very well explained, look forward to seeing how you make and replace the bezel. One question, what oil and grease do you use for lubrication. Perhaps it's in one of your other videos. Good luck from Spain!!

[@philipslater9450]

Hi Cliff. Do you take on clock repairs. I have a brass spring powered clock which stopped working about 12 months ago. I had a quick look based on some of your previous videos (haven't stripped it) and have come to the conclusion it's a worn bearing. Haven't got the tools and experience to have a go myself.

[@djlovell13]

Hi Cliff, really enjoy your videos thanks. In 2019 you mentioned you might do some kitchen table clock repair videos, is that still on the cards? Cheers

[@CliffsShed]

Hello, Thanks for that, still working on the clock videos, life is just getting in the way! Regarding your clock with the non moving hands, the center wheel has a friction fit, so that you can move the hands, it could be that it's very loose and is only driving the wheel and not the arbour that drives the hands, not an easy fix without taking it to bits unfortunately

[@CliffsShed]

All the best, Cliff
