Should have taken pix but wanted to get done so didn’t. Will get pix of the finished piece prior to reassembly.

Resting the hands (and back) for a bit before continuing on this one.

4 bushings done on the time side front plate. At least 6 and possibably 8 will have to be done on the strike side. So either 14 or 16 total.

After that will check and see how many need doing on the strike side. This one is taking way longer and been a LOT more work than estimated.

4 bushings installed in the back plate on the time side. Taking a break and then will do the front plate time side.

Working on clocks today. Wish it was a bit warmer in here but that may make me work faster.

Working at Valley tomorrow so will be out of pocket all day. Then have to go to Calcis either Thursday or Friday. For now bed calls… ;-)

I’d rather fix it right than for it to have trouble later on down the road. Will look at it tomorrow and see what it looks like to me then.

I don’t have any brass rod big enough or I’d cut it a bit larger and make an oversized bushing for it. May order some and do so anyway.

By , February 13, 2013 3:58 am

Just got the hole for the first one broached out and the bushing in place. The hole was so oblong that the outer edge is still visible.

Been working on a clock for several days now. Getting closer but still not there. Looks like it will need 10 or more bushings.
