Wow, lots to choose from there

Many Thanks, David

Could anyone recommend a good varnish for brass? The only varnish I have come across is for wood. Is it the same stuff?

Thanks, David

Very nice Neil

Very nice, I've been wanting one for ages.

Another vote for the SX2.7 from me. I'm a very happy Arc customer.

If you have any questions about it, feel free to ask.

Hello John,

There is a whole stack of talent on here willing to help as I've found out Shout if I can help.

Hello Karl,

I sympathise, i've come across this before. The only way I have been able to do similar things is to make a dedicated 'C' spanner to fit the nut. I am assuming the blue handled spanner in the picture is the one you have been using. The spanner needs to be a perfect fit with no slack. Then the shaft needs to be locked in position, solidly. You can then apply serious leverage accompanied by some judicious shock to the 'C' spanner.

Good Luck

There is a certain plastic in kettles now that people think should be avoided. I found this link:-

Thank you Roy, as this is my first clock, all this is very helpful

David

That's great advice thank you

Thanks Bizibilder, I hadn't considered lantern pinions. How would I calculate the dimensions?

David

Thanks Russell, probably a rush of enthusiasm but I was hoping to make it all. However, we will see

David

Thank you Alan, great series, if a little intimidating for a newby !

Best Wishes, David

I'm having a look at the John Wilding Large Wheel Clock book. Not having cut any gears before I am, perhaps understandably puzzled by the instructions which state that I only need two cutters, 0.75 mod and 0.6 mod. From the little I understand, I will need one 0.75 mod cutter for the large wheel of 290 teeth and another 0.75 mod cutter for the pinion which has 8 teeth, Is this correct?

Many Thanks, David

I agree completely but then my wife says that I am becoming a grumpy old man

My website designer told me that it is a good idea to have a 'Contact Us' page but it is important to make sure that it is monitored. I get an email whenever someone responds to my contact page, not all sites are set up this way.

Best Wishes, David

Very, Very, funny
