Glad to have received my new fountain pen from @schon_dsgn . It’s lovely and compact. If you’re looking for a great Christmas gift he has several models of both fountain and roller ball pens available in brass, aluminum, and titanium. He makes watches as well, @the_schon Check out his feeds. #ianschon #fountainpen #metalart

My wife, @whitestonecreates , is making Christmas tree acorn ornaments to support a charity. She’s employed her Ames lathe as well as our Clausing along with a rose engine with a dome chuck set on top of a double eccentric chuck for the flutes and an eccentric cutter doing pumping for the tops. See what’s available on IG at #availablewhitestonecreationco Her post notes are below. I was delighted by the idea of making these ornaments with the idea of raising funds for our church who has been compressed into a small frame and is seemingly bursting out of its shell. All the proceeds, your entire check, PayPal payment and (of course) cash, will go directly into the building fund. See what’s available at #availablewhitestonecreationco $35.00 for one. If you buy three or more they’re $28.00 each. Either way shipping is included in the price if you live in the USA. Otherwise the shipping cost will adjusted. DM or FB message me or comment below to get one for yourself and all your friends. I thought of all the symbolism that these little nut cases hold, and it’s easy to apply to our little community and yours as well. These are such a sweet reminder that a tiny acorn, with time, can also be the start of a whole forest of mighty oak trees and with the right nurturing, something magnificent is waiting. C.S. Lewis conveyed the idea of potential well. “There are no ordinary people. The dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or the other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics.” -C.S. Lewis God, who prepares His work through ages, accomplishes it when the hour is come, with the feeblest instruments." - J.H. Merle d'Aubigne

One of the more simple operations but important nonetheless, after a wheel is bored true (see recent video) we then ream to size. This brings them all to the same size and allows the boring operation to go faster and without worries. Sadly, few clock shops keep reamers. They are utterly useful and so often ignored. It is a Walker Turner still press. #lindowclockmaker #lindowmachineworks #clockmaking #machinetools #walkerturnerdrillpress

Another clock from the Hartwigs and DeBlaay collaborations. Featuring the “whale tail” motif after a Thomas Jackson clock this project included participation from Chris Harter who made a number of these through the years and is still an active cabinetmaker who is amongst the best Windsor chair makers in the country. Jackson was a Connecticut clockmaker who appears to have used the same cabinetmaker as The more famous Thomas Harland. There are few examples of Jackson’s work left; however, our local county museum has an example which was brought by one of the early settlers of our area as our area was settled mainly by people from that area of Connecticut. The dial was painted by Martha Smallwood and features her signature roses which surpass any I have ever seen. This clock was made in the 1980’s. #gerhardhartwigs #gerhardhartwigsclockcompany #periodtallclock #longcaseclock #lindowclockmaker #horology #clockmaking

Another product of the collaborative efforts of Gerhard Hartwigs and Bill DeBlaay from the early 1980’s. I am proud to continue the tradition and own this as my horological heritage. Dial painted by Martha Smallwood. She was the best. Her daughter Kathi Seiwert still carries the mantle. #gerhardhartwigs #gerhardhartwigsclockcompany #lindowmachineworks #clockmaking #horology #periodtallclock #longcaseclock

The first of the clock collaborations between clockmaker Gerhard Hartwigs, the man who taught me the trade, and Bill DeBlaay, designer for L&Jg Stickley and Kittenger Furniture. Built in 1978. The ship was built by DeBlaay, the chapter rings were done by Chelsea. BTW, our invoices still say “Hartwigs Clock Company at the top. #tallclock #longcaseclock #clockmaking #gerhardhartwigs #gerhardhartwigsclockcompany #lindowclockmaker #horology #stickleyfurniture

Not all jobs are equal. This was a clock made by the master that taught me this trade, Gerhard Hartwigs. I recently worked on four of his movements, overhauled 2. The movements were made from 1978 through the early 1980’s and were housed in cases made by Bill DeBlaay who worked as furniture designer at L&JG Stickley and before that Kittenger Furniture who previously made the Colonial Williamsburg reproductions. (I will post pictures of the cases over the next few days.). It’s interesting to see that after 40 years pivot wear is minimal and on very few pivots. Also, there was no appreciable pinion wear even though the pinions were made of 12L14. The clocks were never serviced or oiled either. The chapter rings were made by Chelsea Clock Co. and the ship was made by Bill DeBlaay. At that time Gerhard was the only person making traditional mechanical bell strike movements. I retired his stamp in 1998. #gerhardhartwigs #gerhardhartwigsclockcompany #clockmaking #horology

Stamping out tall clock click springs on our 1943 Bliss OBI punch press. The right tool makes quick work of it, and it keeps my head polished at the same time. The die was made by Dave Youtz in the mid 1990’s. Here it’s been freshly sharpened and new pins have been installed for the 1-72 through holes. The die is a testimony to his skill while not even coming close to showing his true talent. The long section of the spring is 1/16” wide and 1/16” thick and has cut thousands of these springs. It’s also very cool to be able to make clock parts on a machine that helped win WW2. #lindowclockmaker #clockmaking #horology #machinetools #metalstamping #blisspunchpress #warmachine #punchanddie #toolanddie #lindowmachineworks
