- In this series, I will be covering all the work required to restore a nineteenth-century bracket clock. This is part 4 where I cover the work on the two Fusees to re-burnish the pivot bearing surfaces and make spacers to remove wear induced play in the great wheels.
The music in this video is courtesy of @wintergatan I strongly urge anyone who isn't familiar with his channel to head over and see his progress on building the most amazing mechanical marble music-making machine known as the MMX.

I am eagerly awaiting part 5. I haven't worked on a bracket clock yet. I am learning a lot.
Thanks Tommy for another interesting video. It’s always good to watch a true craftsman at work and thanks for the information on working out the beats per min, I can use that formula on my clock.
No problem, glad you found it useful.
Another wonderful video many thanks Tommy, I like the detail of the shims and spacers, and making the pivots parallel and then burnishing, once again many thanks for a beautiful job and an extremely interesting one. Jim from AUSTRALIA.
Thanks very much, I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Exelent job !!!
Always enjoy it!
Thank you, great examples of adapting without replacing parts.
Thanks very much. It's all part of restoring as much of the original object as possible.
Love watching precision work
Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for sharing Tommy
No problem, thanks for watching.
Nicely done Tommy, Thank you :)
thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
Nice video and great work ! Thx
Thank you too!
I really would like to see the conclusion of the repair on the Verge pocket watch....
Hope you are well. I have some questions regarding a grandfather clock, the blessing or movement is a Tempest Fugit. I dont have the weights that go on the chains, are they suppose to be same or different. Is the weights something i can create myself or is it a special process. Also the clock does not have its pendulum. This clock was a gift to us.
Hi Tommy, I hope all is well, looking back through a few of your videos, watching this one I noticed you file and burnish pivots in a sea saw motion which I was only doing in a forward motion, is that of real importance? And I notice you flipping your file and burnisher while using them, is that just you working on two clean faces before wiping? I can only use my file/burnisher on one face as it has chamfered sides
Love your videos !!!! whats the hand drill you use ? whats the oldest clock you have worked on ?
Thanks. I think it's a Record hand drill. I think the oldest clock I've worked on is probably around 1670. I've handled older but not been lucky enough to work on them.
Hello Tommy,
SORRY for all the questions but I am keen to learn/understand. Is that a cork block you were using when deburring?
Take care.
Paul,,
No problem at all, thanks for the interest. Yes I use a cork decorating block to rest on when filing/de buring etc.
Is the burnisher a certain kind of steel? I would like to make one.
They are commercially bought pivot files and burnishes. I believe the steel is high carbon in a semi hardened state.
