Seems to be quite a demand for clock repair. Another few hundred dollars invested in tools and supplies and I might just have a new career.

Now only 7 or 8 behind. Got to get on it as have another cuckoo clock coming in to work on in the next few days.

I think it’s done other than some minor adjustments once I get it back in it’s case with the pendulum, face, and hands on.

Laid the stand down and lubed all the pivots with the 10 weight nano lube and when I set it back upright it started running on it’s own.

Tightened the 4 holddown nuts, set it up on the test stand and it started running without the pendulum. 😉

Came in and after cleaning the pivots and wheels one last time to get all traces of polish gone, peggged the pivots and put it together.

Almost sunburned and aching all over. Did manage to get a few hundred pounds of copper pipe torn out though. Got more to do tomorrow.

LONG day today at the tearing sh!t apart to sell for scrap cause the discount groceries aren’t moving store in Piedmont.
