Thank you sir! Helped fix my issued right away! I first checked with chatGPT but it was beating around the bush, checked your video and had the answer in 60 seconds!

Great video! I had no idea it was thar simple. I just used this repair on my Pearl grandfather clock that was chiming a tad late. It's dead on now! Thank you!

Hi Chris and all. Your adjustment with the hand collet is very informative and accurate especially to newcomers that didn't know this adjustment.

Thank you Paul. I should clarify that this is an adjustment that gets made on modern clocks.

Chris, I have a beautiful grandmother clock that has been in my family for over a century. Today, by chance, I was waiting on the clock repairman and stumbled across your videos. I think you have solved my problem and saved me a lot of money. Many thanks!

Thank you it works great now. God is so good to have you help me.

You kindly referred me to this video as my Westminster clock chime was slightly out of sync, running approximately 4 minutes out. Your easy to follow instructions made the job so much less daunting and now my clock is bang on, thank you again for your help and please keep up the great work that you do, it is priceless to me and the masses who are not so clued up when it comes to all things clocks. 👍🏻🙏🏻

Winding the clock strike and time trains

Great video. My second hand has some wiggle room causing my clock be behind when the hand is on the left side and a bit fast when on the right due to the weight of the hand. Can this be tightened?

How do you adjust a loose bushing? Did you do a video on it?

Video suggestion: comprehensive adjustment of a pendulum escapement from scratch.

thank you very mutch my mauthe clock is now chiming correctly again

Sorry, I’m not familiar with that timepiece

My clock stricks the hours correctly but at half hour late.. ie at 6.30 it chimes 6 times. It has three key winding ports. It chimes correctly ? Every 15 minutes, keeps good time, just the hour chime is 30 mins late... Can this be reset at home ?? Thanks Chris .. uk 🇬🇧

Chris, I have a very old grandfather clock that doesn’t have the part of the hand that allows for adjustment. Is there a way to modify it?

@Chrisclockrepair

Жыл бұрын

No. If it is antique clock, this adjustment will not work.

Very nice vid although my method is a little different to yours. Instead of using pliers to turn the bushing I use the tapered squar back end of a cutting broach to push the bushing of the hand on. ( broach fastened in a vice ) You will then have two hands to support the hand ( no pun intended ) to turn it.

Actually that is also how i do it, but this video is designed for someone to be able to do it without “special” tools.

My Howard Miller grandfather clock strikes the wrong number of times. I tried moving hour hand to the time it struck then back again to correct time. It worked till 9pm.I set it around 2 pm.At 9 it struck 8 times,same thing at 10,then it started backing up to 8 times,then 7.Now this morning at 6,7 and 8 it was right. It was wrong at 9 am and at 10,11 and 12. Then at 1 pm it struck once,which is right.What's up with i?. Never right since daylight savings time and we had to spring ahead! Can you help? We seem so close to fixing it.

It sounds like the rack may be catching on something or not falling correctly onto the snail. You will have to watch the movement in operation to see what is causing the difference in the number of strikes. You can do this by removing the dial.

What if it doesn't have a bushing ? Strikes 3 minutes late. Thanks.

@Chrisclockrepair

Then you are probably dealing with an antique clock and it requires a more technical adjustment on the inside of the movement, which I don't have a video to feature that as of yet.

@Chrisclockrepair

The star wheel adjusts the run of the lift of the strike; it doesn't determine when the clock begins the striking sequence.

I moved the hour hand. Now what?

I removed the nut and there is no bushing attached on the back of the second hand!? Now what. ? It’s chiming 3 minutes after it should.mantle clock Ingraham. Thank you.

That trick won’t work on your clock as it is a countwheel type movement. That’s not a beginner adjustment.

It depends how the hand is made. What you are showing is a reproduction clock which are made in a different way and most are crap. For a person who doesn't know they are more likely to end up breaking their clock hands.
