Which I guess I need to get in the kitchen and start on.

Don’t know if I’ll get it finished tonight or not. Am about done in now and still have supper to figure out and fix. 🙁

Next up is to polish the pivots. Spent an hour earlier getting the verge pallets back in shape and the escape wheel teeth cleaned up.

Took the Sessions clock out there for the owner to pick up. Working on a Vienna style Regulator now. Got all the bits cleaned.

Just back from Valley Antiques. Sold a couple of things while out there that wouldn’t have sold otherwise. Guess I need to be there more.

Got it on the shelf running and it’s somewhere close to keeping time. Will see how it is in the morning. For now am gonna call it a night.

Have another 4 1/2 hours in it the other day taking it apart, burnishing & polishing the pivots. Now to get it adjusted & back to the owner.

Ended up working on the Sessions clock from about 9 am to 10 pm today. Lotta down time doing other things in there but still was a long day.

Must admit that the 62 pictures I took of the tear down really helped in the reassembly. I think I could have done it without them but…

And since I have just done this one, and have the teardown/reassembly fresh in mind,I think I’ll do mine next.

Went ahead and oiled it and am going to put it back in the case after supper. Turns out it’s the same movement as my grandmothers clock.

Ended up installing another bushing after looking at them all again. Got it back together and it’s running on the test bench now.
