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

From what I know Dr. Lewis could not be more on target. “Nothing that you have not given away is really yours.” Create and make for the right reasons, and you’ll be shocked at how your work improves. #cslewis #cslewisquotes

Hardinge AHC #982. While not your typical horological machine tool this mid 1970’s automatic chucking lathe has been the production workhorse of the shop. It produces the shafts (holding tolerances tighter than .0005”), bushings, collets, pulleys, screws, pillars, studs, and about anything else that needs to be turned. It’s a hydraulic/pneumatic relay logic automated system that is programmed with a Carillon that actuates micro switches. The stops are micro switches set by screws and controlled by dwell pots. It has a pneumatic feed tube for 6’ rods. The tooling Hardinge produces for the 6 station turret is mind boggling and exceptionally precise. We haven’t used it much in the last several years as production work has really been down, but it’s back in Motion now. See my other recent post for a video of it in action. #lindowmachineworks #lindowclockmaker #hardingelathe #hardingeahc #clockmaking #horology #horologicaltools #machinetools #metalworking #metalworkingtools #vintagelathe
