A beauty of a clock to work on, over a hundred years old but one of the most solidly constructed ones i've seen to date.

If you've ever wondered how a 31 day clock runs 31 days... it takes a lot of winding, and springs long enough to floss a whale!

This clock has seen extensive punching repairs in the past, so i'm replacing the worn pivot holes with new bushings to fix the material weakness introduced by so many punches.

Sometimes, it can be hard to figure out why a clock has suddenly stopped working. Othertimes....

Sometimes, it can be hard to tell if a clock has been lubricated properly. Othertimes, you can find enough grease under one panel to properly lubricate the entire clock on its own.

Sometimes you take a picture for work and it slaps so hard you gotta share it elsewhere. Steev here is helping keep a skeleton clock on it's standwhile i run some tests on it.

(I had to put dots beside them to track them all!)

If you've ever wondered just how big a clock's springs are, these two came out of a sessions mantle clock and are each almost two and a half meters long! (~7'11" in imperial units)
