Foundational Clock Repair Skills II is a foundational class that reinforces the skills learned in Foundational Clock Repair Skills I — including making a wheel hub, spin riveter, dome stake, pusher stake and stump to prescribed dimensions — and pushing those skills forward through continuing to teach lathe work; introducing heat treatment; mounting a wheel blank and arbor to a hub using the spin riveter and dome punch; use of a jeweler’s saw; wheel and pinion engagements; the depthing tool; and determining issues with an Indian clock movement.
Students also receive a flowchart created for the course, highlighting the general order of operations at the bench.
Tools Needed: No tools are necessary; however, students are invited to bring their own tools such as pivot burnishers, files, and depthing tools.
Class Size: Limited to 8 students.
