- In this video I show the work I did to restore a wheel in a Chronometer. The wheel had been damaged and would certainly have been a candidate for replacement, but I wanted to try and repair the damage without replacing the wheel. See how I got on and let me know what you think of the results.

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 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.
Thank you that’s wonderful to hear.
This channel is severely under rated. You are doing an amazing work! Congrats!
Agreed, this is quite possibly the best clockmaker channel on TH-cam.
Nice work, it would have ben nice to see the soldering process as well.
I agree, I wanted to see that as well !
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!
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..
That old lathe is beautiful and astounding
A Masterclass, just a pleasure to watch and lovely workshop
That's a very clever repair and the result is just beautiful.
Where art meets engineering - Just beautiful. Thankyou
Excellent master craft skills,thanks. Gives joy that you found the “time” to keep it original. Your patience is calming. Great editing also.
SIR. congratulation you are a real proffessional.that is a master piece. BRAVO.
Wow, that’s intense ! Better than new , didn’t think that was mechanically ever possible
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!
What a pleasure to see a craftsman at work, it truly was inspiring to see. Excellent!!! Subscribed
What a nice way of saving the majority of the original material. 👍
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.
Hi Tommy. Very nice repair work it should be good for another 100 years of service.
That's some beautiful gear! Both the clock part and the shop equipment :)
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.
Super job! That lathe is special.
This is becoming a lost art. Well done.
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.
Excellent work! I would like to have seen the soldering procedure use on such a heat sensitive component.
Thank you for taking care of our heritage. Salut from Vallée de Joux.
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.
Masterful job! The order of operations was surprising.
Very impressed with your work. Looking forward to seeing more from you!
A great visual explanation of the whole process.
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 love watching your videos Tommy, many thanks.
Beautiful job of restoration! Always a pleasure watching a master craftsman work. The precision of watch and clock work machining always astounds me!
Excelllent work, excellent video - thanks Tommy👍
Nice video. Thanks for taking the time to share it.
I just suscribed.... your work is lovely❤ ....old retired dentist
I've always thought that dentists would make excellent clockmakers/repairers, also jewellery creation and repair.
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
What a craftsman you are sir, brilliant video thank you for posting
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.
Thanks for the video, helps a lot! Appreciating the engineering, video and audio --Thanks
Lovely Jubbly! Thanks for the video.
Diabolical ! Very well executed .. I loved it!
Beautiful!
What a brilliant solution for repairing that wheel! Excellent job with the video as well! Congratulations!!
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..
Excellent! You are a very talented craftsman.
Hi Tommy
Great result, thanks for sharing
Cheers
Great work and thanks for sharing!
A GOD GIVEN SKILL. WELL DONE
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
O my God. I am rarely impressed... thank you TH-cam algorithm ! Thank You for this. Subscribed. 10 times over if I could.
Wow!
Nice work!!!
Just came across your channel. Wow! Thank you for sharing
Super work Very impressive
Excellent result!
Very well done!
Nicely done !
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.
This is better like meditation !!!! Thank you! Really professional work!
Just amazing!
Beautiful work. Subscribed.
brilliant, so facinating.
Great work ❤
Good work!
my grans had all her teeth replaced too, bless her soul.

Nice work Tommy.
Congratulations from Brazil!
Excellent job, you seem to have solved the restoration/conservation/ preservation conundrum by getting the balance spot on.
Nice job!
Well done.
Nicely done
Mesmerising
Just simple “genius “ 🙌👏
Wonderful job! Could you share a few words about the soldering process - must have been quite tricky. Thanks for sharing your work.
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.
Nice jig and a lovely little Schaublin. Very enjoyable viewing
Excellent
Flawless!
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.
I spring should read inspiring...sorry
It is in one of my earlier videos, but I might do a dedicated walk through of it one day.
You are a genius.
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.
Good method - keeps concentricity etc :)
You are a very skilled man,if I had an hat I would take it off to you. 👍
Very pleased that The Algorithm has finally suggested your channel. 1new subscriber 😊
ÓTIMO SERVIÇO EM MICRO MECÂNICA de RELÓGIOS 👍👍 🇧🇷
Thanks !
Respect!
I must be feeling a bit fighty today - "I'm going to make you replace all your teeth!" sounds like fighting words. XD
what a ancient lathe!😯
Old is sometimes good. 🙂
@@SlartiMarvinbartfast yeah, I agree
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...
Great question. I would like to know too. Thank you for your question.
Exelant work but I would like to have seen your soldering process !
I lost the footage of that clip - sorry!
Beautiful repair. Honestly on camera, I couldn't see the seam.
I am also could not see that seam -
and I also was missing the actually
prozess of making the comination between that to wheel 's.
Not only 1 picture about that connection process was to be seen.
That is amazing, Ive never seen such a repair. Im a home machinist, I make some small parts but this is on a whole new level. Where do you buy cutters for teeth like that or do you make your own?
If you search for video "Chronometer Train Wheel Repair Part 1" go to timestamp 19:40 there you can see such a cutter, so you might be able to search it. Good luck.
@@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
Interesting that you use forceps to remove the screws from your holding tool, but fingers to replace them.
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
The fit was soldered so it was about 0.005-0.01 oversize. The lathe is a Schaublin 102 with Schaublin dividing equipment.
Nice work, Tommy. Did any of the new teeth have to be aligned with the central gear teeth, or was that not important?
Thanks. No, the central pinion doesn’t have to be registered to the wheel.
I'd never make it as a clockmaker; I can barely even see the problem! :D
Gorgeous repair! Curious question though, do you have to worry about the inner teeth being clocked or aligned in a specific way with the outer teeth you've made? Or would the orientation have no bearing upon the functionality of the mechanism? But if they do, how do you align them or set up the jig to be sure it's aligned?
Thanks, and a great question. On this wheel the inner part is known as the crossings. These are partly decoration, partly weight reduction to inertia, they don’t need to be clocked to the teeth.
@@TommyJobson ooh!! I see!! Thank you for that info!! What about the teeth of the other tinier gear mounted on the "hub" of the ring-geared cog?
@@deeranfoxworthy6069 I think you’re asking about the orientation of the repaired gear to the pinion with which it shares the shaft. The relationship between these two components can be random without affecting timekeeping.
Nice to have all that you need . piece of cakies
hi, your videos are very constructive. I wanted to know how you welded the rim to the wheel and with what material did you use, thanks a lot
oh yes , a secret also for me *: - {* . . .
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?
