An introduction to Mercury pendulum clocks, how they compensate for temperature changes, and an initial look see to what work has to be done to bring it back to full working order.
Also a tour of the workshop, showing other jobs on the go, including a Russian Kaan clock, a new tool idea and the work on my CB1100RB Honda motorbike restoration. also the clock oils that I will be using from now on. A packed show!

Well I enjoyed having a poke around your workshop there David. Those old French clocks were so undervalued 20 years ago they were difficult to give away. They usually have beautiful, high quality movements, especially the ones with the visible Brocot escapements. As someone who likes old bikes, clocks and a bit of hobby machining I see a kindred spirit. I've subscribed.

I have been restoring an old Atlas 612 lathe, and one thing I did was replace the motor with a 230 volt three phase motor, and I run it off a VFD. This allows me to slow down the lathe quite a bit!

Hi David, cute clock and great explanation. I'll be sure to zoom in on that beach from Kinghorn next week whilst on a little break away to bonny Scotland.
