My videos are a note of my experiences of restoring old pendulum clocks. I will include my failures as well which may help to illustrate some of the problems. The biggest is to accept that sometimes the mechanism has simply worn out with age. A bitter blow when you may have spent hours of painstaking work and still it fails.

Example of a late 19th Cen French Spelter Clock Restored
มุมมอง 1373 หลายเดือนก่อน
This is an example of work done to a very dirty old French Spelter clock - they are not past redemption and when the movement is renovated - service, cleaned and oiled and the case is renovated. It is the most exciting result for a 19th Cent "throw away clock" fantastically Kitsch, so much so with a clock over 150 years old that it is a really classy statement (i think so even if you don't!!) w...

I will be happy to answer questions if needs be in comments or you can email me at simon@simonspencerdesigns.co.uk but be patient as it will go into junk but be p...
123 Antique French Clock: Bushing Back Plate for Strike Hammer Wheel
มุมมอง 162ปีที่แล้ว
Because the strike hammer wheel which triggers the strike bears the additional weight of lifting the hammer this pivot hole on the back plate frequently becomes out of true. I have found this to be the case on numerous occasions and there is a pictorial image on Clock Repairs Merseyside of a botched job on just this problem. Having seen Johns illustration and meeting this problem on several occ...

มุมมอง 151ปีที่แล้ว
Sometimes when fitting a new spring into a French Clock with a small spring barrel it can be difficult using a Main Spring Winder and even lead to straining the main spring arbor. This video illustrates how I replace a new spring into the barrel by hand. It is not easy and can go wrong. This video shows that it can be done and just how I do it.

This video explains how I solved my problem with several French Clocks stopping at about 12.15 ish, being either due to the rack tail out of sync with the hour wheel or running out of "puff" - power - on day 6 or 7 - at the end of the week - and my fitting a new Strike spring to sort this out.

I had to explore and learn the techniques of using Plaster of Paris to repair my old clocks. In this video I set out my results (Oh!
