Remounted it, wound the spring enough to get the clamp off. Put on the hands and weight and it started right up. Ticking merrily away now!

Reassembled the mechanisum, only having to take it back apart once cause I forgot to put the spacers on the spring stem.

With the mandatory WW stop along the way. Got back and finished the pivot polishing. Cleaned, oiled, remounted and coiled the spring.

Gulped coffee and breakfast and made the delivery. When helped with customers for 2+ hours. Then did lunch and went and paid some bills.

Started the day polishing pivots on the Sessions while waiting for Coffee. Got a call that I needed to deliver the Seth Thomas.

Now just have to finish rebuilding the case, which is in little bitty pieces, and it’ll be done. Will be a nice, time only, clock.

Someone in the distant past had made a click out of a Master lock key. Was too tall and would bind after a while. Tis much better now. 😉

Had to replace the click and made a couple of spacers for the wind shaft. Next time I order parts will get a new rear bushing for it.

Sessions all cleaned up and other than the main spring ready to go back together. Gonna wait till tomorrow to clean & lube the mainspring.

Coffee is brewing. Decaf at this hour. 🙁 Seth Thomas just chimed the half hour. Within 6 seconds of on time! Not bad for 100+ years old!

Sessions is apart and in the ultrasonic. Korean pos is still ticking. Cornbread is in the toaster oven cooking. Gumbo is done and simmering.

After all, I only have 3 others in various stages of repair at the present time. One more would at least make it an even number… 😉

Looking at the old Sessions that has been hanging on the wall for months now. Need to go ahead, tear it down, clean and check it out.

Pivots all done! Front of Qhut closed up till warmer time (or next clock I have to work on). Supper cooking.
