Bradford NeedhamI've posted my transcription and annotation of William Derham's 1734 glossary of clock part names, for #ClockRepair https://bluepapertech.com/history/names-of-clock-parts-from-1734/
I've posted a YouTube video that walks through my experience refinishing a #cuckooClock case, from my initial case cleaning, my terrible job trying to stain it, the long process of stripping the existing finish and paint, and the successful staining of the case. https://youtu.be/RT7uZ0IKD7w #clockRepair
Refinishing a Cuckoo Clock Case
I recently refinished a #cuckooClock and had to remember which nails go where. Luckily, I had taken lots of photos during disassembly. #clockRepair
Aaron In MinnesotaMy kid (10) has gotten really into watch and clock repair. His latest success was this German Bradley travel alarm clock from the 1950s. He did a full service cleaning on it.
Getting the main spring back in was a challenge because it wasn't in a barrel, but his makeshift solution with zip ties got him past that.

Time flies!
Around 6 years ago, at this time of year, I started on the easy part of repairing an old mantle clock.
So, everything got cleaned up and the parts were bagged and stored. The woodwork will be straight forward but reassembly of the mechanism.....hmmm
As they say in the Haynes car repair manuals, "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
