Video Description
In this video, I cover the process of making a replacement wheel for an antique clock, start to finish. The clock is a rather nice 18th-century quarter chiming table clock and the existing wheel was a poorly made replacement. The client wanted a more appropriate replacement making. I have broken down the topics covered and linked their place in the video so that you can jump to each specific process as it interests you. 0:00 - Intro 3:01 - Wheel and pinion theory (Maths) 14:23 - Preparing cast brass 22:21 - Cutting the teeth 34:07 - Crossing out jig and marking out 37:40 - Crossing out 39:53 - Mounting the wheel 41:29 - Spin riveting Please consider subscribing to the channel for more clockmaking content. www.hpclocks.co.uk Instagram @tommy.jobson Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/tommyjobson The music in this video was recorded specially for me by the fantastic Patrick Larley. https://www.facebook.com/patricklarleycomposer
