Excellent series of videos on the English Dial Clock. Thank you!
Prajem vám veľa zdravia .Excelentná práca.
Excellent restoration and explanation of the whole job. I have a very similar dial clock which was originally verge with an alarm but it was converted to anchor escapement many years ago and the alarm does not work now.
A very pleasing result. Especially like the remains of the patina on the dial
Like how you blue the hands. Always learn something. Thanks, your time and effort are so appreciated and valuable
I love your videos. So many insights on the kind of evaluations you make as to what to do, and what not to do. Something that is neigh on impossible to convey in writing, but perfect for video.
Thanks for the very enjoyable video Tommy, and congratulations on your award of Fellow of the British Horological Institute.
Many thanks.
Ta-dahh!
Beautiful job, thank you for sharing your work.
I think many viewers would appreciate more detailed voiceover descriptions of the steps you are taking in some of the operations (for example, the prep, lubrication, and loading of the mainspring), time permitting.
I think he did cover lubricating the spring but I wanted to rewatch it and haven't found it yet so i can't point you to it.
There is a playlist of all the episodes on my channel page. I’m going to do a re edit of this series as one video with a more detailed voice so watch this space!
Nice to see it still looks its age.
Thanks for another enjoyable video. Love watching you work.
Excellent restoration, I love the channel, very professional in their work!!!
Beautiful work and a beautiful clock. Thanks for uploading.
Lovely job on the clock, looks awesome.
An excellent restoration, (I watched all 5 parts in one sitting.) but at what cost, and who's paying? As a retired clock repairer it looked to me that a good clean and lube would be sufficient to get the old thing in running order for a few years.
Nice work Tommy.
Fantastic job Tommy 👍
Timely video. 😃
Thanks! Your videos are so informative, and perfect job!
nicely done!
Hi your skills are so much better than mine but I have a good go I’ve two very old grandfathers clocks both came in bits both have an original 30 hr movements how do you calculate the pendulum length and more so the weight as both didn’t come with a pendulum appreciate any guidance great work
Tommy - when you say you "silvered" the dial, what process is that? Thanks for the vids - very educational sir.
It’s a cold chemical plating process. The card link in the video shows a video with more information.
That's a very nice clock now. How accurate do you find verge escapement clocks to be?
Truly wonderful work. Unfortunately much of what you did is now being hidden. Which is a bit of a shame.
Greatest enemies of clocks: Brasso and WD40.
Lovely.
Why did you not wax the makers marks on the dial? Or was that not done originally.
It was waxed, I only did localised repairs to the waxing, I didn’t redo the whole dial.
Very good episode, but I would keep this patina on the dial. After all, this is not a new clock. Sorry, but I do. Kind regards
