Straightline Add On

Chucks

Different types of work holders ranging from bottle stopper chucks to pen chucks.

This is the straight line chuck kit for the modular chuck system. If one already owns the dome chuck/double eccentric chuck this is all that is needed to be able to set up the straight line chuck.

This case was done by @kinloch_woodworking. The owner, Doug Moobury approached me 19 years ago and said, “We want you to build for us the tall clock movement you’ve always wanted to make.” Since then we’ve made quite a few for them. It’s impossible to get good shop photos of a movement that is completely polished, but here’s our attempt. Every component is polished to a mirror. Though not shown, this clock got a tubular bell which required changes to the strike train to slow it down from the normal bell strike. The case is in the style of Greene and Greene but completely designed and built by Kinloch. That front door is nothing short of amazing, but then again it’s what we’ve grown to expect from them. The dial is silvered brass engraved by Valdemar Skov. I cut the hands which were patterned after a MA shelf clock. #lindowclockmaker #lindowmachineworks #kinlochwoodworking #horology #clockmaking #metalworking #metalart #tallclock

It’s a special day when you walk in a room and see a clock your daughter made. It’s even more special when you see six of them! @ashleylindow made these movement to pay her way through college. Chuck England did a fantastic job on the cases and Kathi Seiwert painted the dials. The glass was done by Tom Moberg. Chuck has offered these for sale. DM me if you’re interested. #horology #banjoclock #patenttimepiece #lindowclockmaker #lindowmachineworks #clockmaking

Although we made this clock in 2006 it’s just now finding its way into the case. It’s patterned after a John Wood, Philadelphia high style tall clock except at a 10% reduction so as to fit the modern home better. The engraving was done by Peter Fox and the paint on the moon by Kathi Seiwert. The clock came back as the movement incurred some rust in storage and it got dropped so the dial feet had to be reattached and the back plate refinished. We loved the age on the silver so we left that. #lindowclockmaker #lindowmachineworks #horology #clockmaking #metalart #tallclock #brassdial #metalworking

My Harig Super 618 surface grinder set up with a Brown and Sharpe magnetic V block. While the machine is useful to the clock repairman it is essential to the clock maker. This model has power feed and coolant. We use the surface grinder to narrow mainsprings as well as create and sharpen punches and dies. We often use it to put fine finishes on parts as well. Yes, it could use a good cleaning. It’s used continually in rose engine production as well. The parts being ground are drilling frames for ornamental turning in the rose engine. #lindowclockmaker #lindowroseengine #roseengine #horologicaltools #horology #clockmaking

My Harig Super 618 surface grinder putting an indication flat on a prototype drilling frame bearing tube which is being held in a Brown and Sharpe magnetic V block. I’ll post pictures soon, but here it is in action. #lindowmachineworks #ornamentalturning #engineturning #roseengine #hariggrinder #machinetools #machinetool #roseenginelathe

Saturday night on the Gorton P1-3 Pantograph with a Sherline rotary table engraving lines and numbers on indexer/leveling cups for the MADE Lathe oval chucks. I sometimes wonder if you get tired of seeing these same machines on IG, but I never tire of using them so who knows? It was a beautiful day all the way around, and the last picture was from outside the shop door at 8:40. I love my shop, and I love my neighborhood. It’s a privilege to be a part of both, and when you add getting to make things on machines like these long days seem very short. #lindowclockmaker #lindowmachineworks #madelathe #roseengine #roseenginelathe #ovalchuck #engineturning #engraving #gortonpantograph #gortonP1-3 #sherline #sherlineproducts #metalart #metalworking #machinetools

Our Clausing 5914 belt driven engine lathe in its natural habitat. It’s outfitted with a taper attachment and a 5C collet closet and sports an LOO taper spindle so it matches our South Bend 13”. It’s lighter than the South Bend, but it has ball bearings so it can spin up to 2000 RPM’s. It can also slow down to 50 RPM’s. Like our South Bend it has a flame hardened bed. This one came out of a school. #lindowmachineworks #lindowclockmaker #horologicalmachines #horologicaltools #machinetools #metallathe #clausinglathe

Taking .200” passes with my 13” Clausing. Not bad for the old girl on a Sunday night. The chuck jaws are soft and have been precision bored. Now we will dial it back a bit and hold .0005” bores that are parallel within .001” total. They are spindle tubes for drilling frames for the rose engine. #lindowclockmaker #lindowmachineworks #roseengine #roseenginelathe #engineturning #machinetools #clausinglathe #americaniron #metalworking

This is a great wheel assembly from a high grade E. Howard precision astronomical regulator. Arguably the best production regulators America produced. Sadly, this one had virtually all the gold plating cooked off of it in an ultrasonic cleaner. Some ignorant soul cooked it while completely assembled, that is the entire movement assembled. Though only 75% as magnificent as it once was, it’s still incredible. We are not “restoring” this but rather just removing the corrosion from its ill treatment, cleaning it, and stabilizing it so that it can run safely. Notice the incredible polish on the steel. #ehoward #howardclock #clockmaking #horology #astroregulator #astronomicalregulator #lindowclockmaker
