Thanks Aaron, appreciated. Matthew
Nice job Matthew. Thanks for sharing this video. I've never worked on such a movement so it was very interesting. Whishing you and your family a very good 2024!
Thanks as always Franklin for your support. Same to you; wishing you all a Happy New Year. Matthew
I appreciate that you show - just exactly how intricate details are needed to make such clocks / watches to live again ...
Thanks Tim. Yes I try dig into the detail as much as I can. Glad it is of use. M
Thanks again Matthew for such an excellent video. I always learn something new from them.
Thanks Brian, glad you enjoyed it. M
Seeing inside the spring barrel and other parts, you almost want to join the 'Just stop oil' crusade. 😏 Compliments on working and filming at the same time. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you too! Thanks for your support. M
Same for me, i have 15+ pocketwatch projects, set aside because i needed to distance myself from it, gain some skills, tools or spares, then when i return it, not always but sometimes the pause, seems to produce the solutions needed 😊 the brain i think works with the problem in the background.
Have a happy newyear 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Totally agree, the brain keeps churning away in the ‘sub-conscious’. As you say, distance can be useful and healthy.
Amazing work! Thanks for making this video!!
Thanks Joel. Appreciated.
Hi just to wish you a very Happy New year, and too say What a beautiful old clock, I have never heard of such a design. I t was a real pleasure to watch you repair and restore it to its former glory.
Thanks Lawrence for your kind feedback; appreciated. Matthew
Thank you Matthew for the video. I've never seen a clock like this and I'm glad it was with you. I love your work and try to watch all of your videos, happy new year. Carl
Thanks Carl! Appreciated. Happy New Year to you too! M
Thanks that was a fun one. I Liked the extended screw added to the previously reduced thread
Thank for your kind feedback. Yes I think that worked out ok. You never know with these things. M
Thanks
Very helpful for my project waiting on the shelf
Great! Good luck with your project in 2024! Matthew
Magnifique travail de restauration !
Merci pour votre aimable retour. Apprécié. Matthew
Another inspirational video. I always learn so much, ways to do things, techniques etc. much appreciated. Thank you.
Thanks for your kind feedback. Appreciated. M
Excellent. I have the Onion Boy version of this clock in need of a service and I can show this video to my clock caretaker. Thank you!
Thank you, glad it was of use! M
Thank you for this amazing video. The level of detail and the intricacy of the work involved is superb. 😊
Thanks for your kind feedback. Glad you enjoyed it. Matthew
A fantastic job, unbelievable transformations. I always enjoy your videos, thanks for 2023, looking forward to another great year ahead.
Happy New Year to you and your family.
Regards.
Mike
Thanks Mike. Really appreciated. Same you you, Happy New Year. Matthew
I enjoy seeing your machining of (now impossible-to-find) parts for clocks. And the skillful improvisation of tools (e. g. the scalpel made to do a machining job). Wishing you a happy new year and success with some of those deferred projects!
Hi Jon. Thanks for your kind feedback and the super-thanks. Makes a big difference. Appreciated. Matthew.
رائع..رائع..رائع..عمل يستحق الاحترام والتقدير..استمر رجاءا"..
شكرا لك على ردود الفعل الطيبة. تقدير.
Thanks Matthew great video I always look forward to seeing you working on different clocks have a great New Year
Thanks Paul, same to you, Happy New Year. Matthew
Matthew, I really enjoy watching you work and your creative solutions. One piece of advice, leave your captions on a little longer. General rule of thumb, read them twice at your normal pace. Then it will be on longer for the viewer
Thanks for your feedback. That is a good point re the captions. I'll try that! M
Matthew makes what looks like an impossible repair not so impossible in the end
Mesmerising filmwork. As a novice in horology an explanation of just what some of the parts are there for would be illuminating. Thanks
Nice, You earned my subscription. Matching the thread was brilliant.
Thanks Jim, appreciated. Matthew
Thanks!
Thaaaaank you. Makes a big difference. M
I've had a few of those "swingers" come through my shop (including the reproductions from China). Your video, with all the closeup shots, were truly well done. I got a lot out of your video. Thanks!
Thanks Cliff. Appreciated! Glad it was of use. M
Another greta restoration video. I would have been interested to see how you regulated the clock.
Hi Graeme. Thank's for your kind feedback. Yes, in retrospect I wish I had filmed that process. At the time I seriously wondered whether it would ever run again! If I work on one again, I will certainly cover that iterative process. M
another reference add to my library to watch many many times .thank you very much sir , happy new year 👍 🎩👑
Top job, seen one of these recently without the statue. I couldn't work out what it was. Now I know.
Thank you, glad it was of use!
A wonderful video! Thank you for sharing: 👌👍👏!
Appreciated! M
If you use denture cleaner on the enamel dial, not only will it clean the dial but also remove visual cracks.
Thank you for that tip! Appreciated. M
Matt. Any idea what year this clock was manufactured? Your videos are fascinating. 👍
Thanks for your kind feedback. I imagine in the 1930's. There is a fantastic Junghans digital archive - link in the video description. If you search the page for 'Mystery' you will find many variations of this clock. They appeared to start around the First World War and finish in the 1930's? Matthew
Great lathe work. I’m working on one of these at the moment and came here to see a pro at work. Not disappointed! Can you please tell me the name of the tool used to make the little ripples on the side of the regulating nut?
Thanks for your feedback. It is called a knurling tool. Most knurling tools are are a bit clunky; industrial things. If you buy a single fine 'knurl', it can be mounted in a bar as a more useful do-it-yourself alternative. There is more on making this component here... czcams.com/video/aAJxjP6ZDXI/video.htmlsi=YTQYXqRhjFXKcNQh
What oil did you spray the mainspring with? Was the rest of the movement oiled with D-5, or was another Moebius oil or grease used? I wanted to know that for self-education purposes. Thank you.
Hiya. I spray the mainspring with Chemodex Liquid Spray Grease. Yes D3 and D5 on the movement. Today I would use 9415 on the pallets. Hope this helps. M
@@readrepairs Thanks you
Hi Matthew, how can I contact you about a 1750's pocket watch by one of the watchmaking greats. Can you get in touch with me about it? 😊
email me via me web-site clockmaker-conservator.co.uk
Two things worries me 1 trest 2 why dont you polish up clock
Hi Lawrence. My practice is based on conservation principles - I am a clocks conservator - so try wherever possible to preserve surface finish as part of the integrity of the object. Hope this helps. Matthew. (1 Trest?)
Matthew you have way to many channels. Which you tube channel is your channel that you post to all the time? I advertise for you in my videos but I have been advertising "How to repair pendulum clocks"
Hi Mark. Thanks for your message. Yes I have 2 active channels at the moment. How to repair pendulum clocks which is workshop tips and techniques and tends to be quite technical. Then there is READ Repairs which is full projects which is meant to be a bit less technical and a bit more 'aesthetic'!!! There is of course cross-over. :=). In the background there is Open Clock Club archive which is only the livestream series of 50 events we did in lockdown. I am not adding to that series. Hope this helps. Thanks again for sending people my way; appreciated. If your members want any particular technique demonstrating, I will do that if I can. All the best. Matthew
