Everybody has already commented upon the superlative engineering skills. Can I add my appreciation for the superb quality of the video and commentary.

My boy watches Clickspring. You can just tell.

I am in awe at your work. Brilliant. Thank you!. For me to attempt this operation I would have use a lump hammer and a cleaver..

I would not have thought that sort of repair was possible! My clock work, compared with yours, is blacksmithing. I have no delusions of ever gaining these kinds of skills. Even so, your work is inspiring. It makes me want to do better work. And for that, I thank you.

Agreed, this is quite possibly the best clockmaker channel on KZread.

This video gives me hope that a few percent of people have escaped the dumbing down of the last 50 years. Please keep it up!

Nice work, it would have ben nice to see the soldering process as well.

Where art meets engineering - Just beautiful. Thankyou

That old lathe is beautiful and astounding

SIR. congratulation you are a real proffessional.that is a master piece. BRAVO.

A Masterclass, just a pleasure to watch and lovely workshop

That's a very clever repair and the result is just beautiful.

Excellent master craft skills,thanks. Gives joy that you found the “time” to keep it original. Your patience is calming. Great editing also.

What a nice way of saving the majority of the original material. 👍

Beautiful!

Super job! That lathe is special.

I had the pleasure of using both a Schaublin 80 and 102 at a prototype machine shop back in the 1970s.. I agree with everything you said about the tactile feel of these machines. The 80 in particular, was used by a machinist who I watched make pressure diaphragm caps that were .080" in diameter with various diaphragm thicknesses as thin as .0012" across the diameter. I was at his house one time where he showed me a clock he made himself with a siderial complication. It wasn't until later in my life that I came to realize how close I was to a very special talent. This video brought me right back there. Thank you!

Flabbergasted frankly. So glad I found this channel. The workmanship and video production is stunning. I also love the sound of that clock in the background.

What a pleasure to see a craftsman at work, it truly was inspiring to see. Excellent!!! Subscribed

Thank you for taking care of our heritage. Salut from Vallée de Joux.

Thank you for the time you put into making the videos, much appreciated from the other side of your camera. Nice to see a repair rather than a replacement, especially one so skillfully done.

This is becoming a lost art. Well done.

Hi Tommy. Very nice repair work it should be good for another 100 years of service.

Perfect job! Thanks for taking the time to let us into your world. I'm an instrument repairer so I love to see other craftsmen at work.

One of the most unique, fascinating videos I've ever seen. The specialized machinery used to cut gear teeth is captivating. Thank you!! Very well done.

Wow, that’s intense ! Better than new , didn’t think that was mechanically ever possible

Nice jig and a lovely little Schaublin. Very enjoyable viewing

Respect!

You are a genius.

Just simple “genius “ 🙌👏

A great visual explanation of the whole process.

That's some beautiful gear! Both the clock part and the shop equipment :)

A GOD GIVEN SKILL. WELL DONE

Beautiful job of restoration! Always a pleasure watching a master craftsman work. The precision of watch and clock work machining always astounds me!

Mesmerising

I just had a flashback. As a joungster I built tiny mechanical devices for optics to be mounted on a satellite. We haven't had such good tools and some pieces were extremely challenging to make.

Masterful job! The order of operations was surprising.

certainly looks like a splendid job well done, also well filmed and narrated.. makes me want to send you my favourite verge fusee pocket watch..

Just amazing!

Very well done!

Excellent work! I would like to have seen the soldering procedure use on such a heat sensitive component.

O my God. I am rarely impressed... thank you KZread algorithm ! Thank You for this. Subscribed. 10 times over if I could.

This video just popped up on my suggestions this evening and I am happy for that! Wonderful work. So good to see repair instead of replacement.

I just had to watch after seeing the title of this video. I took a two year class in watch and clock repair about thirty years ago in plainwell Michigan. One of our projects was replacing a tooth on a wheel. I told my instructor I could replace all the teeth and keep the wheel. He looked at me like I was nuts. That night after school I went back to class and did about the same as you. However instead of making a blank and recutting all the teeth I cut another wheel of the same kind so the new ring gear would solder nicely onto the turned down original. It did not look as nice as yours but it worked fine. I think my instructor was impressed

my grans had all her teeth replaced too, bless her soul.

Congratulations from Brazil!

Wow! Nice work!!!

Nice video. Thanks for taking the time to share it.

Flawless!

Thanks for the video, helps a lot! Appreciating the engineering, video and audio --Thanks

Thanks !

brilliant, so facinating.

Very impressed with your work. Looking forward to seeing more from you!

What a brilliant solution for repairing that wheel! Excellent job with the video as well! Congratulations!!

What a craftsman you are sir, brilliant video thank you for posting

Excellent! You are a very talented craftsman.

Well done.

Lovely Jubbly! Thanks for the video.

I say that the whole video is played backwards to trick us! Joking of course. Very nice job and I'm now going to check out the other videos on this channel.

Perfect Tommy, you are a master, you have beautiful machines. I wish I could work like that. It looks beautiful and I'm a little jealous of you. Kind regards

Excellent job, you seem to have solved the restoration/conservation/ preservation conundrum by getting the balance spot on.

Excellent

Beautiful work. Subscribed.

Nice work Tommy.

Interesting that you use forceps to remove the screws from your holding tool, but fingers to replace them.

Good method - keeps concentricity etc :)

what a ancient lathe!😯

Hi @jimad and @PatrickSpencer, unfortunately I had a nice clip of setting up the camera and no footage of the soldering part, so sorry for the omission! I basically sweat the smallest amount of solder at the lowest heat I could manage to get it to flow taking care to shield the pinion to prevent heating it.

Superb skills indeed, I spring to watch. I would love to see the Gents Pul syn etic master audible in the background ! Not of the same fine quality but built to last. Mine was made in 1931, has been installed at home now for 36 years and keeps excellent time, within 2 seconds per week.

Wonderful work. You must have spent a lot of time getting to this stage! Where did you find that beefy pair of tweezers? Got to say it again, wonderful work.

I must be feeling a bit fighty today - "I'm going to make you replace all your teeth!" sounds like fighting words. XD

Im curious as to in what cases this type of repair would be preferred over making a new wheel? Detailed wheel repair where it would be difficult or costly to replicate perhaps?

Very pleased that The Algorithm has finally suggested your channel. 1new subscriber 😊

Amazing patience and intricate work. Have you weighed the before and after to see if it weighs the same or very closely? I was wondering on such a delicate gear if the weigh would change the operation... IDK But Thumbs Up for sure...

@@BrainHurricanes Thank you really helpful, I didn't realise a module cutter would do this type of tooth, it looked longer than a normal tooth. cheers

Excellent work and I see you have all the machines required. What was the size shrinking fit and the name of the manufacturer for the lathe and dividing head etc? Regards Bob

@TommyJobson

Жыл бұрын

The fit was soldered so it was about 0.005-0.01 oversize. The lathe is a Schaublin 102 with Schaublin dividing equipment.

I love to watch that old Schaublin in action. Especially in the hands of a pro.
