59:24 has my favorite quote from this series: "I must get myself a clock" :-) Thank you for the fascinating discussion of escape wheel teeth/clearance.
Hi Matthew, I saw you made a nice attachment on your depthing tool. Glad I swa that. Made one myself to and it is a very usefull piece of tooling! Thanks fot showing it.
8:00 "Don't bend the pivot in the first place" Excellent advice - I've come close to bending pivots when I'm reassembling the movement and get a little aggressive in closing the plates while moving all the pivots in to place. Question: I've noticed pivot lengths seem to vary within a given clock; is that because the clock is designed to be reassembled in a particular order (long pivots located first, then shorter ones), or is that variation of pivot length for some other reason? Thanks again for the helpful videos!
Not that I am aware re different length pivots. I don't know much about machine made clocks but it would make sense that manufacturers designed the arbors with different length pivots to assist with assembling;y (probably for the manufacturer rather than any repairer in mind?). With hand made clocks, I think just natural variation in pivot length just happens to help. Some older clocks with cast plates the plates taper in thickness very slightly but I doubt makers would respond to that by adjusting pivot length accordingly. M
