I'd like a source for the common pendulum rod used for American wood, brass ogee, etc clocks. The ones with a suspension spring on one end, and a hood on the other. I'd like a source with no hook as I would bend the rod after I cut the rod to the right length. I checked Timesavers and Merritts. All kinds of pendulum rods, but not this simple common one--unless I missed it. I know some people make these, probably not that difficult, but I'd really like to have a source. Any suggestions?
You mean something like these from Timesavers? .004" x 13" Suspension Rods 12-Pack .004" x 24" Suspension Rods 12-Pack .004" x 10" Suspension Rods - 12 Pack .002" x 17"/18" Suspension Rods 12-Pack .004" X 6" Suspension Rods-12 Pack
Merritt's has some as well. They are under suspension rods, not pendulums. https://www.merritts.com/merritts/public/product.aspx?ProductID=81078 https://www.merritts.com/merritts/public/product.aspx?ProductID=82096 Tom
Hi all, I know I am late to the party, but be careful of the wire diameter. The newer suspension rods tend to be a smaller diameter, Also the .004" feather is to thick. Even though advertised as .004" I have found some as thick as .005". These might work but it requires additional weight. That said a hammer and an anvil and a piece of appropriate sized wire can be easily formed. And the feather thickness is best when it is slightly less than .003". Hope this helps. tom
