- In Part 2 of the restoration of a lovely Verge dial clock by Weeks of London, I repair the centre wheel by replacing a tooth, and overhaul the mainspring barrel.

Top man.
Wonderful work and wonderful videos. Can you do close-up microscope views of the bearing surfaces and gear teeth bearing surfaces? I wonder if a little sacrificial brass on the barrel arbor isn't helping to keep it smooth. Fascinating stuff.
Professional work, regards
09:40 as a model locomotive builder I work with brass very often and I know how to appreciate the “disappearance” of the joint around the missing tooth. Well done!
One thing I always liked to do when I was clock making many years ago was repairing wheels in the same manner as you have shown here. Thank you Tommy for bring back found memories.
Nice job on the tooth replacement!
Thank you.
Bravo!
Master craftsmanship 👍
nice repairs
Thanks Tommy, it’s interesting to see how you handle the many compromises of sympathetic restoration. 👍
Excellent craftsmanship - my only criticism is about the video of the process: I would have liked to have seen the work that went into cutting the dovetail as well as the new tooth. Thanks for the great videos, I hope that your sub count continues to increase.
If I may add "me too" (that's in English - not WOKE) I would really have valued the procedure particularly on shaping the tooth by hand or on your machine. I had an awful task doing it by hand but somehow I managed OK - just! Or have you a video on just that? Kind regards and a million thanks for your great video. Looking forward to number 3 Yours s.

Sorry. Sometimes the videos are a trade off between filming and needing to get on with the job, hence some stuff gets missed. I’ll do an video on just that process next time.
@@TommyJobson now you make me feel guilty! your videos are beyond value to novices like me. i really appreciate the work that goes into them and the instructions you so freely give. thank you
I always learn from your videos ...Thanks
Can't wait the next video. 👍👍
Thank you for sharing
Beautiful work!
All the parts I was really looking forward to seeing you didn't film. I wanted to see how you removed the material and filed the new tooth. 😢
How did you machine the teeth after soldering the insert?
Tommy. what spec of soft solder do you use. Nice repair, BTW - love the chip deflector!
I used a low temperature solder. I'm sorry I don't know the exact spec, I was given it.
I like the sympathetic restoration approach. Did you file the tooth or cut it in your gear cutting set up? The square end of the barrel arbour looks like its been the victim of a pliers attack in the past. Will you rectify this? I suppose it could be machined down a key size or, if you are good with a MIG welder, you could put some metal back on the square and clean it up.
No, leave as is. A slight tidy up but nothing as much as re machining.
How did you retain the new bushes ?
You made them parallel.
Loctite ?
Interference press fit ?
I make them a reasonable sliding fit, then put a very slight chamfer on the hole so that they can be peened over slightly. I always fit them with a smear of green loctite (belt and braces), but the real key is the fact the are cast brass so as they are hammered on they spread.
that mainspring winder looks way better than the bergeon one, where is it from?
It’s an Ollie Baker type.

I enjoy your channel.
I'd like to make a suggestion: Please unify your titles so we know what project you are working on. Adding an episode number is also very helpful. Something like "Weeks Verge Dial clock, ep. 2: Replacing a single tooth in a wheel." This is also very helpful when trying to find the first episode when only the 2nd or 2rd one pops in my feed.
There is another YT'r I don't bother with anymore because he always has some clever name for an episode, and I am not interested in watching all his projects, and searching through his content trying to find all the episodes of a single project is not worth the effort.
Thanks for the feedback. I have been thinking a lot about the video titles. The trouble is youtube seems to prefer shorter descriptive titles, so i’ve been making sure the episode number is in the thumbnail and in the description, but I will take on board what you say.
Watching you widen the hole to put the bearing in was BORING... Pun intended! ;)
