The Clockmaker's Work Shop
As you stroll back in time while visiting the
Conger Street Clock Museum, you come upon
the service department of Creative Clock.
The setting is that of a clock shop from
many, many years ago.
The setting is vintage, but the equipment is
state of the art. We do gear cutting, make spring
barrels, install bushings, and anything else necessary
for a complete rebuild or overhaul of your clock. JD
is making a new part on the lathe, while Ron is
installing new bushings in a clock plate, and
Richard is re-assembling a clock mechanism
that is being rebuilt.
Richard is seen polishing a pivot, while Ron
inspects a clock mechanism for excessive wear.
Ron is seen installing new bushings in an old clock
plate. After a clock mechanism is overhauled, as a
rule it is better than when it was new. With hardened
bushings and polished pivots, a rebuilt mechanism
actually becomes a hand built clock.
In this photo, Wyatt is turning a new center shaft
for someone's old treasure. If they could make the
part back then, we can make the part now. It is just
a little easier now. With better equipment, better
lighting and more history to fall back on, it is
possible to rebuild a clock, and actually make it
better than it was back in the good ol' days.
