Hi Steve, unfortunately my talents do not run to fine woodworking. I have a friend who makes a living doing just that so I had him make the case for me. It is...
It looks like a copy of a Dent case from an August '83 Clocks magazine. It caught my eye, because my friend owns the one pictured in the Clocks magazine... ...
Hi Ralph, You may well be correct about the case. I followed the clock/case plans of John Wilding but I don't know where the case drawings originated. A note...
Hi Trevor, Now that you mention it, his regulator plus all the others I have been near have 2 locks. Nice job, Cheers, Ralph ... -- Cheers, Ralph My eBay Stuff...

Hi Tony, I too am a member of our local NAWCC and I'm currently coaching a couple of guys in the making of a regulator. It's a slow process as they are making...

I though I'd post a link to a picture of a new clock I'm building: http://onlineclockbuilding.com/running.jpg This one has a large balance wheel supported by a...
During attempts to make a balance staff, I tried the steel shank of a carbide (flutes only) printed circuit drill. While many such drills are solid carbide,...
Hi Steve, I use the oil hardening steel, my belief, after using both over the years, is that quenching in oil seems to help the steel resist rust, whereas when...
Hi there, fairly busy tonite but will respond to the posts later in the week. I did have a reply from MSC which outlines the details for overseas orders and I...
Hi I would guess the shank is a medium carbon steel like K1045 or a hi tensile even, say 4140. The application can be reasonably demanding as some of these...
Hi John You certainly like the large balance format, this looks like another interesting one and I would also be interested in some close ups or perhaps your...
Hi David I am sure you are correct about the corrosion, it is the same with bluing of screw etc, if you use oil to quench here the bluing seems to resist rust...
