• Upcoming updates
    Over the next couple of weeks we will be performing software updates on the forum. These will be completed in small steps as we upgrade individual software addons. You might occasionally see a maintenance message that will last a few minutes at most.

    If we anticipate an update will take more than a few minutes, we'll put up a notice with estimated time.

    Thank you!

    Removing hour hand from Gilbert mantle clock

    ...yeah, that did the trick. I think I need to make a video of taking the hands off the clock for future folks like me asking the same question. Thank you. Of course, now that I have the clock all taken apart, I see other issues, but I'll post on different threads for that.

    Removing hour hand from Gilbert mantle clock

    I have an old Gilbert mantle clock, most likely from the 1920's. I am going to dismantle it for restoration, but...I am stuck struggling to even get the hour hand off so I can remove the face and clock mechanism. I know it is supposed to be pressure fitted, but it sure looks like there is...
