BCU Clock service YR1
One of our first tasks was to service a mantel clock. Above are photos of before and after my service.
We were asked to service a clock start to finish and record it. I also stripped, re stained and lacquired the case and polished the bezel. This isnt included within a service but it was good practice for me. Below is everything a customer could expect from a service plus a little insight on what happens and a closer look inside a clock itself.

This is the beginning of a clock project. It will continue to be worked on for the next 3 years, finally resulting in a fully working clock.

Everything was made by hand tools at the bench to test our skills. Part 2 did involve the use of a pedestal drill, table top lathe and soft and hard soldering.
All from 2 pieces of brass.

It all started from a solid piece of brass or steel, even down to making and blueing the screws.
