Yep thats the way it goes. The trick is to lead it into a false sense of security. Go through all the motions of ordering another one but dont actually click that final buy it now button, then stand up say " oh well at least I have another one on the way" . It will pop its head out and shout " SUCKER ! " . They've done studies you know 60% of the time it works everytime. -

There are a lot more oils and grease in the trade for clocks now then when I was clock making. This is how I went about the job I used a paint brush the sort that an artist would use, first brush around the barrel arbor, I went around the top of the spring when it was in the barrel and a round the few coils to the barrel arbor. Just a few drops to the top and bottom of the barrel. Tommy Jobson who has a youtube channel and is a very high class clock maker likes to use a spray on oil. There is no need to flood the barrel some think the more oil the better which is not recommended because it will just run out and go all over the place. -
