READ Repairs

We carry out various clockmaking repairs including soft and hard soldering techniques, re-colleting a wheel and re-facing pallets, cleaning, re-assembly and lubrication. Out three-train, eighteenth century spring clock is finished!~ Thank you for following along. Below are some links I mention in the video.

    Yes, this eighteenth century work is quite organic, manufactory yet still obviously hand-made. As you say, the character still shines through.

    Now I need to watch the other eight videos in the series. I very much enjoyed this video. After 200+ years there is a lot of accumulated wear and some questionable repairs in this clock's history.

    Well done Matt, that was gruelling just watching, im fascinated at the way you have kinda "righted" what ppl in the know would call "dodgy""patch up"" butchering", to its right form. I really enjoyed every second of this 9 part series. One can see the passion you have in getting these old clocks back to original.I love the finish product but love that Mystery clock behind you more. Love your work Matt. Thanks . Mike.❤

    Quality instruction for clock repair is a rare commodity these days so thank you for your excellent series. Anything else in the pipeline 🤔. How did you setup the quarter chime to get the correct sequence for the hammers.

    Good question! I removed a couple of taper pins in the frame and was able to gently spring the plates enough to disengage the pinned barrel wheel from the train and change the phase relationship accordingly. Yes, more projects on their way. Quite a lot of content filmed, just need to edit... M

    Many thks your reply.being 87 and shake to much,i retired.understand your thinking .her in s africa,customers wanr bright and shiny. Many hours in polishing. Here is a tip ii have not seen used before, inguaging condition of teethon wheel place wheel flat on white paper. Spray from vertical position. You can visual any variation in tooth shape. Helps imeasurably in straightening bent teeth. With our currency being terrible 1 pound equals about 25 of our rand i had to make lots of parts. Along with competeing with other" gentlemen who consider spraying with WD 40. Life was not ease. Many thanks your contribution blessings

    Hi Matthew. Very interesting video of a professional repair of a beautiful movement. Love these videos! One question however: Is the chiming not a bit to fast?

  • @readrepairs

    Thank you Franklin. Yes I agree, about 25% too fast I would say. Less set-up and/or weaker mainspring needed. I came to the end / limit of my investment in this project. I enjoyed it very much but is over to the next repairer to pick up the batten. Yours, Matthew

    Thank you so much for your excellent videos. They will be invaluable when I finally take my three fusee bracket clock apart to clean and oil. I was very intimidated by the thought of doing it, but after watching your videos I know that I can do it! The only thing I'm bummed out about is that the clock you worked on does not have the silent strike lever, as mine does. My silent strike is not working. I still do not know why. It quickly, almost violently, moves left and right one time, as the quarter hour starts to chime (and it seems loose). When I first saw your video, I was so much hoping that your clock had the strike silence lever. I will have to figure it out on my own. 😥
