      Thank you very much. I always do tests in an isolated part to find out what the base is. In this case it was solvent. When you have a question about it send me a message. I will help you!

    What liquid did you use to clean the wood. It really made it look great.

      @woodtransformer  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Hello! I'll give you a tip that can help you a lot. 1) Always test in smaller places before applying to the entire surface; 2) You can clean with neutral soap diluted in water and finish with liquid wax; 3) You can clean with mineral oil, brush and finish with a soft fabric; 4) You can clean only with a harder brush and finish with wax and paste and polish later....that’s all! Thanks for the message!

    Also the lever that comes out of the count wheel. If you adjust it to ride on the count wheel vs having a small gap that will keep the bird from bouncing in and out of the clock.

I picked up one at a garage sale for next to nothing because the case and carvings were in pieces. Luckily, it's complete with the exception of the rods that control the bellows. I believe its known as a quail/cuckoo clock due to having two birds. This is my first time working on anything like this so I'm trying to do all the research I can before I start on anything. Your video provided a heap of knowledge for me. Thank you.

      @@woodtransformer I bought this gem at a yard sale for 20 dollars and couldn't bear the time it would take to locate, order, and wait for impossibly slow shipping all the way to rural Kentucky so I improvised. Someday, when the old McMuffin paper fails, I'll fix it up the correct way. But in the meantime I'm rather enjoying my McCuckoo clock! 🤣 I have since gotten a second one that is much smaller and not as grand in any way, but everything is intact except for no pendulum. Any ideas on what to do? Im not sure how to even guess what size pendulum or if it matters or how to make a new one? Any advice would be appreciated. It's a very simple, seemingly cheap clock that I think cuckoos once every 15 minutes. I has one small weight and chain. No door for the bird, either, unfortunately. My favorite part is the bird busting thru the door lol this clock is very small, also, but I just love them all regardless of value or grandiosity. I was so excited I didn't even realize the pendulum part was missing.

      Hello, sorry for the delay. I'm glad to know that the whistle is already working. Kkkkkk MCcuckoo, MCcuckoo.... when I don't know how much weight it is, I use a small bag and I add small fishing leads. Until the clock works non-stop and the time is within a normality. As soon as you get this first sweet part you can adjust the height of the pendulum, delaying (moving down) or accelerating (moving up). It's ok? Thanks for your patience! @ryansgirl2002

    • @woodtransformer
      @woodtransformer  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @hosocat1410 Hello, thank you for sending the question, which is extremely relevant.
      Part by part...
      1° - We must evaluate the uniformity of the dyeing. If it is uniform, we can start cleaning, if not, we have to evaluate whether we will do a partial or total restoration;
      2° - In any of the above cases, we must identify the material that was used in the manufacture... you can do a test in a small area and with low interference in appearance; in this case it was dyed with solvent-based material, 98% of Cuckoo's of this style are like this.
      Then I washed it with soap and water to remove the dust. Always in small areas, with as little material as possible.
      Soon after, I moistened a cotton swab with solvent and started the process of diluting only the surface of the dye. You have to be very calm and do it in small areas... this is the secret.
      I hope it helped you! Thank you for participating!!!

    • @woodtransformer
      @woodtransformer  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hello! For everyday life I use a dry brush. For cases of restoration, I evaluate case by case. It all depends on the dye the manufacturer used. We should do a test in an isolated area. In this case I used the same solvent as the base for revitalization. The younger ones, you can use furniture polishes... without too much excess. Thank you for the message!!!

They both were working fine, however over a period of time they both began to run slower and slower until they stopped. Neither one has a music box, but both have coo-coo birds. One has never been cleaned and the other one I cleaned and oiled 20 years ago. So I might need to call upon you if I can’t figure it out. Thanks again!
