Ok I went to the Chapter 6 NAWCC quarterly meeting here for my first time to be greeted warmly. I arrived a bit early and was anticipating helping to set up but everything was ready kudos to President Ray and members. I was educated on French clocks, new tools, old clocks, methods, and too many...
I marked the pivot holes for my first rebushing does it look prepped ok I read to mark the oblong holes on the at rest side to keep holes from drifting? Some solder unfortunately was used by someone to possibly repair pivot hole 2x I will have to heat and remove or is there a better way? Looks...
