As well as it’s running I think that should get it going for quite a few more years. Tis late and I think I’m rambling so till later folks.

Put it in the clock and it’s working nicely. Next thing on that one (Sessions mantle clock) is to install a couple of bushings.

Helped a couple of other dealers with some stuff and then came home. Made a new suspension spring for another clock when I got here.

Went to the mall about 1 and ended up spending the whole day there. Did some repair on a cabinet door, and worked in the booth a bit.

There is one wheel that has some damage from a previous repair that I’m trying to decide if I want to fix or let it go as is still working.

After 3 adjustments it’s close to keeping correct time. Will take it back apart in the next day or 2 and do a full clean, polish and lube.

Put it back in the case and with less trouble than I had figured on got the pendulum aligned and it all ticking away.

First time in the wrong direction so took it back out and did it all over again. Reassembled the clock mechanism with only a few problems.

Fired up the rotary tool with a pointed stone in it and shaped the hole a bit. Rewound the spring and got it back in it’s barrel.

Twas a day. Made it through and got a few things done. Trimmed the end of a broken clock spring and punched a new hole in it.
