Thanks very much for the kind words. I'm really enjoying making the videos, although that in itself is a bit of a journey, learning new skills in editing/filming etc, and it's great to hear back from people who are watching and enjoying them. Thanks!

All the very best

Hi everyone,

I was wondering what everyone else watches on YouTube in the clock and watch department.

Clickspring (obviously), James P Palmer, Reuben Schoots, Dean DK, Uri Tuchman (almost horology) The Watches TV etc.

I've got a channel myself that some of you may find interesting.

All the very best

Here is episode 3 of the Buchanan clock overhaul.

I took your advice and got in front of the camera!

Hello Ian!

Great stuff! Look forward to chatting on here.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the feedback. I’m new to the videos and still a bit self conscious about the sound of my voice on them!

I will make sure episode 3 has more talking though.

It's Autosol watered down to almost a liquid with Parafin. Your quite correct, 'restoring' is probably not quite the right term, however, it is a bit more than a service. The client has requested that the clock be brought back to as new condition, and as it is now about 15 years old and has been moved a couple of times it does have a good amount of tarnish and handling marks/fingerprints all over it. Mechanically there are some areas of damage which will be covered in later episodes.

Hi all,

I am currently working on a sublime double pendulum regulator made by Buchanan of Chelmsford.

I am documenting my work on youtube, but will in due course write a blog post about it. For now, here is the latest youtube episode.

Thanks for the kind words chaps. Good to see people enjoying making clocks.

Looking forward to being a part of the forum.

All the best

Tommy

I agree with Clive, that has a feeling of Aciera about it. An F2 (ish) with modifications perhaps?

Hi to everyone on this fascinating and most helpful forum.

My name is Tommy and I am a clockmaker in Cheshire.

I scratch build clocks both as bespoke new builds and as replicas.

I also carry out restoration on some fascinating clocks and chronometers.

My workshop is something of a geek fest of Swiss and English machines.

Looking forward to chatting with you all.

All the very best,

Tommy
