The Index milling machine with a Troyke rotary table making a gear blank template to be used on the Gorton P1-3 Pantograph to make wheels for a French conical movement we are building in multiples. #lindowclockmaker #lindowmachineworks #horology #clockmaking #clockmakingtools #indexmillingmachine #wells-indexmillingmachine #troykerotarytable
Sometimes the tools we use take our job from pleasant to pleasurable or even make the mundane special. This J.M. Carpenter tap handle is just such a tool. Patented in 1895 and made In Pawtucket RI it is still the best I’ve used in my 28 year career of which it’s been with me 26 years. It not only fits the hand exceptionally well with the seemingly perfect taper, but it does not release the tap as so many others do. It’s 15” long. #lindowmachineworks #lindowclockmaker #machinetools #machinetool #taphandle #metalart #tapanddie #beautifultools
B.C. Ames EH No. 3 Lathe with an unusually sized bed, perfect for clock restoration. It is freshly ground, scraped, and aligned by Super Josh Huether. Built in 1956 in the second to last year they made Lathes this model was an attempt to keep up with Hardinge and this one even abandoned the 1AM collet in favor of 5C. It’s an exceptional little lathe with a lot of mass and capacity. The new owner will use it to both restore old and make new clocks. #lindowmachineworks #lindowclockmaker #ameslathe #bcameslathe #horologicaltools #americaniron #machinetool #machining #vintagetools #clockmaking #horology
Sometimes we work on tractor fly wheels too, and the gears get pretty big. The Case tractor is going from 100 HP to 500 HP so there’s no room in its life for a clutch, it will be direct drive with 6 1/2”-20 bolts holding it all together. Done on the Wells-Index milking machine with a Troyke rotary table it’s a world away from Horology but an important part of being in a community. Every vibrant neighborhood needs an old machine shop. #lindowmachineworks #lindowclockmaker #indexmillingmachine #troykerotarytable #machinetools #machinetool #casetractor #casetractors #rotarytable #machineshop #machinistlife
A quick set up on the Derbyshire Elect to lay out minute tracks and such for engraving. These Lathes are so versatile it’s astounding. The 10mm collet format is also very good for clock work. It’s also good to know that such a company is still in business making Lathes in the USA Today and still servicing these old machines. For this operation I moved the headstock to the outboard end and pulled my band saw over to use the table with a height gauge set to center for marking out the lines. The circles were laid out with trammels. The index plate is from my gear cutting machine. #lindowclockmaker #lindowmachineworks #horology #clockmaking #derbyshirelathe #derbyshireelectlathe #machinetools #metalart #americaniron
A couple people asked about how I made the fusees for the clock in the last post. I first cut the profile on the lathe by eye using the two handle method. We then put the top slide from my Hardinge DSM production slide on the cross slide of the South Bend so we could follow the contour with the grooving tool. I then put a hand wheel on the outboard end of the lathe so we could turn slowly with a lot of control with the lead screw engaged to the right pitch and stop at the same place every time. With the rack and pinion slide it was easy to obtain a consistent depth, and the job went along quite quickly. #lindowmachineworks #lindowclockmaker #clockmaking #horology #fusee #fuseeclock #southbendlathe #hardingelathe #clockmaker #metalartwork #metalart #metalworking #machinetools
This was a collaborative project I did some years ago with Colonial Williamsburg whose gun smith engraved the numbers and engraver to the back and spandrels. The Hays cabinet shop made the case which was a copy of the Thomas Walker lock on their collection. This is the only bracket style movement I’ve made to date. I pierced the hands. I shall soon be starting the process of making 6 conical movements and will endeavor to post process pictures along the way. #lindowmachineworks #lindowclockmaker #horology #mechanicaltime #colonialwilliamsburg #clockmaking #metalart #bracketclock
These pepper mills were turned by @dale.campo on his Lindow Rose Engine using the Curvilinear Slide Apparatus. Dale has put his adept turning skills to good use on the LRE and makes some beautiful and useful functional art.
