Today I am working on this clock that still ran, but didn't know the history on this clock. Besides the case lost all the finish, the brass right that held the glass was very dirty and found out the movement was very rusty on the shafts of the gears, I knew this clock was a choice of mine to make it look new again.
I take the movement apart and clean it, polish the movement plates, show how to get the two main springs out of the clock with no damage to the gears, clean the main springs and get them wound up again before installing the gears. I use Zip-ties.

Here I do most of my work on clocks. Mainly cuckoo clocks, yet I am always looking for the unusual and eye catching clocks. Some of the clocks I get into are ones that need saved from the dump. They fell off the wall from not securing the clock to the wall using the stud behind the sheetrock. Some of the clocks were laid to rest out in the garage or barn and I except the challenge of getting them back together again.
A well loved clock at one time is one that has a lot of wear and you find old bushings that might need to be replaced.
