Packed and ready for a long ride. If all goes as planned at least 1750 miles through Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, and Maryland. I hope the old girl makes it. 1986 BMW K75. #bmwk75
My friend is selling this lathe/mill combo by Emco. Having run this lathe myself I can say with full assurance that it’s in exceptional condition and has no appreciable wear. It’s been maintained impeccably. It’s a perfect set up for someone wanting to do clock work or support their ornamental turning shop, especially if space is a premium. It has loads of tooling so a broad range of work can be done from the inception. More pictures are available upon request. You can contact her directly at the number/email provided, or DM me. #emco #metallathe #metalworking #ornamentalturning

#Repost @stephenlfranke with @get_repost ・・・ A view of the Franke-Lindow @stephenlfranke Equation of Time regulator’s front plate and drive systems. Every piece was made by hand. #clockmaking #clockmaker #horology #knewconcepts #metalworking #handmade #bespoke #madeinusa #equationoftime #wisconsinclockmaker #testoftimehorology #lindowmachineworks #horologist #regulatorclock #clockwork #gears #wheelcutting #brass #jewel #timepiece #complication #artisan #handfile
I think we found the problem! The three phase is back on line after a catastrophic bearing failure. It’s a 25 HP motor that can start 15 HP and run 45. We were only down for 2 1/2 datys thanks to @scott_kip and another dear friend. Thankful that Philadelphia Roller and Ball Race had these monster bearings in stock too. It has served us faithfully for over 20 years. I’m hoping for another 20. Now, back to metalwork. #lindowclockmaker #threephasemotor #threephaseconverter #ballrace
This is how we part off pinions. We cut them in rods 4-6” long then drill and part them off in the Derbyshire 750 turret (capstan) lathe which can also shoulder them when needed. It was @scott_kip at helm here making banjo pinions for some banjo clocks he’s building. #lindowclockmaker #horology #clockmaking #derbyshirelathe #patenttimepiece
Rudof Spangler American tall clock restoration including the reintroduction of the date/moon advance wheel and date wheel and detent. The snail had to be replaced as did the rack tube and tail. The anchor required about 1/16” of build up on both pallets which we did by means of laser welding. The wear in the hammer spring, lifters and cams was filled with laser weld. The parts were all made and restored sympathetically to match the original pieces. The dial and hand restoration is in a previous post. #lindowclockmaker #periodtallclock #tallclock #horology #clockmaker #clockrestoration #clockrestorer
This Rudof Spangler 8 day tall clock had been treated harshly in the past despite being part of a major museum collection. All the black wax had to be removed from the chapter ring and replaced; however, we wanted it to look old. We also wanted the entire dial to appear to have some age so we oxidized the silver and brought it back up to give it a look “sympathetic” to its age. The seconds and calendar hands were replaced (the entire calendar system was missing) and were matched and blues by @stephenlfranke . The dial was coated with wax rather than lacquer. Despite the flowers in the basket almost looking like something from “Little Shop of Horrors” this is a fine representation of Americana from the outer lying areas. There are before and after pictures. I will post pictures of the movement soon. That required an enormous amount of work. #lindowclockmaker #horology #engraving #periodtallclock #americantallclock #clockmaking #grandfatherclock #clockrestoration #clockhands
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
