Made 4 taper pins to hold face on. Figured out a better way to cut them with drill & file. Then made another much smaller one for the hands.

Took crutch rod and verge back out of the clock. Reshaped suspension rod slot on crutch and sanded suspension rod. Much quieter now. 😉

Late arising today. Got the fire restarted in the heater, and breakfast about ready. Trying to figure out the rest of the day.

And I have had about as much fun as I can take for one day. So i think I am gonna call it a night. Till later, folks… 😉

Thanks to baking soda, vinegar, boiling water, and a plunger the kitchen sink drain is now working again.

Only problem I have with it is that it took me this many years to figure it out…

With this trick I have MANY more from all those assortments I have bought over the years, that will now fit.

Put them in and reassembled everything. Water is back on and no dripping. 😉

Took 2 of the ones I had and put them on a screw with a nut on each side clamping them together. Ground the outside edge down to fit.

Went to change out the faucet washers in the kitchen sink, but was out of the right size.

Really need to make a taper pin for the hands too. It’s got to be quite a bit smaller in diameter so will use some brass wire for stock.

Tis ticking merrily away. Got 4 more taper pins to make but they hold the face on and can wait till another day.

Cleaned it all up again and put the bits back together. Filed a brass rod into 4 taper pins. Applied nano oil. Put it back in the case.

Cooked and ate supper. Came back in here, looked at the clock and started in on it. Polished the pivots, broached the bushings.
