What's inside of this Cadencia Palmer pocket metronome?
For as many of these little metronomes as you see online, there seems to be a dearth of information about how they actually operate. I decided to do a brief go over of the movement just so people had a little bit of an idea on how they work.

Played on a circa 1910 Brewster grand piano. It hadn't been played for years, and took several hours of fiddling to make playable.

Rough cut. Played on an old Kay Archtop acoustic guitar, half a million miles and hard used.
Where Have all the Flowers Gone, for Mammie

It's Mammie's birthday today, she'd be 75. This was a song she liked. She liked Pete Seegar, Peter Paul & Mary, Kingston Trio, and other artists of that era. I am very out of practice on it. It's played on an Epiphone Masterbilt DeLuxe, just the sort of an instrument she'd get a kick out of! The Guitar just got taken to pieces and polished, it was made with a matte finish but it always look sco...

A friend asked for this. I've not played it much to speak of, not too sure how close it is. It's more a take on the actual song I would think. Played on Phyllis, the Estey 0-94.

The good old Easter hymn, played on Phyllis, the Estey O-94 church organ. I tried to play nice and soft, but like my aunt that it's named for, it has only loud, louder, and drown out the pastor!
Lathe treadle Demonstration
มุมมอง 216ปีที่แล้ว
Here's a quick and dirty showing of the treadle and swing wheel on my watchmaker's lathe. it's still in use, very much a working piece, not a shelf queen. The lathe is a Moseley from 1900; the treadle is a Chicago Watch Tool Company product from 1881.

A tried-and-true method to reassemble full plate pocket watch movements without going insane or breaking something.

'nother karen (with a lower case "K") song! complete with seedy snickers and such. I really do have too much fun! Again, if you recognize your bad self in here I don't want to hear a peep nor squeak about it-fix yerself!
The karen song

First cut of something I been playing with using a new to me Epiphone Masterbilt De Luxe. No names are mentioned. If someone sees themselves in the content don't come complaining to me because I called it like I saw it; I suggest lengthy terms of self-reflection and conversations with your clergyperson of choice. Both song and instrument need some finishing work.
Using the hand cranked Rollimat, which I got from Butterworth clocks.

I have wanted one of these for years and finally got it, and it is just the ticket for some of those bas dly pivots with the wheel right next to them, and the ones opposite them! Also it does well for verges and count levers. Sorry for the trashy video, I will try to practice and make a better video by and by. If you want to investigate your own Rollimat pivot polisher, here's how you do it: Co...

Played on Phyllis, the 1915 Estey O-94 organ. That damned squeaky treadle is getting a hinge fixing pretty directly. Not all is the treadle though, there's a floor board right under the stool that squeals like someone's trying to strangle it.

Played on "Phyllis" the Estey O-94 organ from May of 1915. This organ has six ranks plus sub bass. Four are gamut; Diapason 8', Corno 16', Flute 4', and Trumpet 8'. Two are Celeste ranks; Aeolian Harp 2' in the bass and Vox Jubilante 8' in the treble. Recorded on a scroungy old phone. It has a loose hinge that wants tightening on the treble side treadle.
Is the bezel removed just by prying up?
You'll have to pardon my Snuffy breathing, I was right in the middle of bronchitis when I recorded this.
Says check with micrometer but used a vernier.
Doesn't look like any harm came of it.
thanks for sharing your awesome talent and lovely pump organ...I have a Chicago Cottage, I play Lords Prayer...you can find it here.
awesome....sounds great...check out my Chicago Cottage on my hoobie toobie schannel....search Lords Prayer Pump Organ.
is that thar a pump organ? pedal power!
It is! It's Phyllis the Estey organ!
nice watch
Thanks! It's an Omega speedmaster moon watch.
I have no interest in clock making but I've always had a great interest in machinery, particularly small hand operated things for very specific purposes. Thanks for the video, I never knew such a thing existed.
It's a real neat machine! I'm proud to have it, it won't replace a lathe by itself but it sure fills in a void!
Brilliant
Thank you!
It still sounds good! I still know the sound of harmoniums very well, I was allowed to play many!
Very nice, a real harmonium! I wish you a happy, blessed Easter!
Hi Charles A great machine and a simple process to give exultant results.
Good Lord mate, please put your camera on a tripod.
Cool video of something that not a lot of people are doing, or could do. Thanks. Cheers.
Destined to be a classic. Dang karens coming out the woodwork these days. Cheers.
Excellent! I loved the playing and the song. Great gee-tar too. Now l'll see karens when I'm dreaming, and I'll surely wake up screaming....karens, somehow we all end up working with one or twelve of them. Keep pickin'!
Great!
Just ran across this by YTb "algorithm", since I've followed a couple of clock/watch folks, mainly coming from the lathe/matching world...nice to see someone who cares about getting the job done right, first time, and appreciates fine equipment... Keep well, keep on keeping satisfied customers! Alles gute for 2023 and beyond! 🇨🇦🐻in🇫🇮&🇩🇪
Thank you! I have a few ideas for shop projects coming up.
Thank you for this video. Hmmmm.... Gotta admit some of those pivots are hard to get smooth in a lathe. It's a steep investment for a one woman shop. Mark Butterworth is the man to do business with.
He is! The only con about them, if you could call it such, is the high initial cost, but land sakes! They are built like a brick privy, and the people that make them need to eat too, and Mark has to have something for his own trouble importing them and selling them here, so we can't really scream about that! It's like paying the mechanic to put new rings in; sure it costs, but look at all the trouble it is to do! If you are a business write the cost off and if you aren't think of them as a jeep, they are unlikely to loose resale value, I just saw serial number 326 with God knows how many hundred thousand miles on it sell on fleabay for $1400. I guess I look at it this way: Some improvements pay for themselves in added revenue, others by improved quality of work, and still others by decreased workplace aggravation. I am finding that while this tool is sure to speed up my production and therefor increase my earning ability, it also contributes heavily to the second two categories too! I did a Gilbert kitchen clock scape wheel with it first thing, and oh! how happy I was to see that thing clean and ready to bush and assemble. It took about five minutes to do both pivots, and they were done in complete safety to the pivots and arbour. Chucking them in a lathe collet always makes me sweat like dynamite, because the wheel is right on the end at the front and the pinion in the same place on the back, so you're always chucking it on one pivot or the other, and it seems like even with a centre rest you break the %^$# pivot off in the collet just as you're finishing up! Cheers! Chaz
This looks like the sort of machine which (if you have the time & application) you might build your own version - obviously for personal use -
That is very interesting mechanics. How long has this machine been around?
Thanks! I have a friend that's had one that drives off of a watchmaker's lathe that he's used since the mid nineties. Mine is brand spanking new and it's number 3368 so there ain't a real hell of a lot of them out there, but still the fact that there's almost 4000 of them around in so small a community as the clockmaking industry speaks well of them.
