Hello fellow clock lovers!

 

I thought I would introduce myself because I have recently registered here. I have a small interest in watches and clocks which I am hoping to nurture in the near future. 

 

I have two projects on the go at the moment, getting a Bodet station slave clock working again and I have recently got an old school clock working again which I enjoyed very much.

 

I have a watch too but I haven’t worn it for a while. 

 

I have already made good use of the forum whilst working on these, so would like to register and perhaps contribute in the future too. 

 

Cheers, Slippers!

      Thanks, @Nucejoe. That's good news at least. Just when I thought I was done with the balance wheel and shock-absorbers! 😀

      Strange stuff

      My guesses.. 1. wood chips for drying parts in after the final rinse. A bit of an archaic practice these days. 2. could be French chalk for brushing cleaned clock plates with....  or maybe diamantine powder for polishing.... could also be oilstone powder, also for polishing, although the stuff that I have got is slightly greyish. 3. Blueing pan. Fill it with brass chips, place item to be blued on the chips and hold the pan over a spirit burner. 4. & 5. Pallet warmer for softening the shellac in order to adjust the pallet stones.

      Maybe not the best place for such a question... 21 jewels with the last 4 being cap jewels on either side of the escapement, but only the easily visible side of wheels 2 & 3. Does a one sided cap jewel setting provide much benefit? I get that they reduce friction by keeping the pivot on its tip rather than side, but if it can still shift away from the cap jewel since there isn't another to do the same job, is the pivot not then on its side in the jewel in pretty much any position other than DU? I'm sure it's just to get the jewel count up for marketing purposes, but still. My pre-coffee mind wants to know.

      White powder I don’t know- radium lume? The first bit of kit looks like the chips and wand for bluing screws and hands and such. what hold and control the heat perhaps…wand for holding over the flame How about borax flux for the powder?

      The white powder is cocaine, for when a repair is stressing you out.  Hehe.  As for the rest, no idea.
