- I have been repairing clocks for fifty years and would like to share some of the things I have learned over the years. With that in mind this will be a weekly Monday night video of the repair of what ever comes through the door of the shop. Over fifty years I have repaired a broad range of clocks from simple American mantle clocks to rare European automata clocks to early English table clocks so stay tuned and please subscribe, like and if you comment or have a questions, I will do my best to answer them. My web site address is www.jamesleaclocks.com.
Thank you very much for making these videos, you have taught me a great deal already and I'm looking forward to your next video. There is only so much I can learn from books and you are a great teacher.
I used a machine like this when I was a stone Mason but the template used to be above the work piece love your videos
It is great to see someone with years of knowledge willing to share it with others. I spent many years of my working life with CNC equipment and it has always fascinated me to see other solutions to machining problems. In the end, there is no correct way to make something. All that really matters is the end result.

+Vivienne Pierce Thanks for the kind comments and thanks for watching, JL
Thanks James for showing your skills with a pantograph.
Many thanks James for your very interesting and enjoyable videos. I find them extremely educational with all the tricks of the trade a huge bonus. Keep up the GOOD WORK and I am sure that I'm not the only one who looks forward to viewing them every week. BRAVO.
James. Very interesting machine. I have seen them before but never saw one used. Ton of work making a wheel! Appreciate you sharing your knowledge!
+phooesnax I have one coming up cutting teeth so stay tuned. Thanks for watching.
Nice machine. good work..
GREAT VIDEO !!!
Hi James, I also use a pantograph diesinker for crossing out, I've found 2mm single flute carbide endmills give a very smooth finish
kind regards

A thought comes to mind after watching this video, would a second pass but with slightly smaller, say a few thou on diameter, guide rod allow you to take a finer/finishing cut to save some time on later hand work with a file. I know this is contrary to your must be same size guidance but I feel sure a cleaner cut could be made if only cutting on one side on the hole.
You are absolutely correct. Sometimes I do that depending on the clock. Thanks for watching
I quess that is a lot of machine for a simple job. I have always used a jewelers saw to cross out a wheel. Thanks for showing this pantograph. Is this supposed to be easier? It looked fairly complicated. Keep making videos please, I enjoy watching a real master craftsman.
Great video James, I would like to see how you cut teeth in the wheels and pinons. I have several old greman clocks that I am working with. So, I will have many questions, as I watch your videos. Thanks for them, Keep them comming. Greg
Great tutorial!
I have to say I'm far more excited to see the spiral gong tutorial, though! I've been curious about whether or not gongs are made from hard blued steel wire, heat treated mild steel, or some other special metal (some rod style ones are made in copper, "bell metal", or German silver alloy, as well as blued/black steel). I'll also be curious to see if you use round stock, square stock, or rectangular stock for the spiral. I've seen all three types, but round is the most common.
interesting I was at the time you started cutting it why not cut the gear first? and you answered that you would.i like the part of what NOT TO DO!
Your videos are much appreciated. Is the lathe you are using in this video your Cataract?
Mr, James , what is the purpose of the cut outs on the gears.
I am orlando gomes from goa india. I like ur video. I wanted such machine. can u give me some guidance.?
Sorry but these machines are rare and I have no idea where to get another one. You might try eBay. Cheers JL
