Took a day off after getting MADE #6 set up. CA Route 1. #bmwk75

Who would have known that the detent springs on the Lindow Rose Engine would be so dangerous? Women of child bearing age in California please take care while operating one of my lathes. #lindowroseengine

Once the teeth are cut in a wheel most often they need to be bored true, especially if cutting stacks of them as the arbor is usually quite small in diameter relative to the OD. Shown here are great wheels being bored out while being held by there teeth safely in a step collet in the South Bend 13. The carriage feed works well for this as it allows for rapid movement in and out. The wheels are then reamed to nominal size and taper broached by hand when fitted to the barrel. It is a carbide boring bar. #lindowclockmaker #clockmaking #horology #machinetools #southbendlathe

Polishing pivots on the Derbyshire Elect. Mostly I’m actually deburring and polishing the ends as the shafts are turned on the Hardinge AHC to within .0005” and then burnished on the Hauser pivot polisher to within about .0002”. I’m using a carbide burnished that is ground to a parallelogram. #lindowclockmaker #derbyshirelathe #derbyshireelectlathe #horology #clockmaking #lindowmachineworks #machinetools #metallathe

I use a South Bend mainspring winder? What brand is yours? Improvisation is often necessary in this trade, and no normal spring winder was adequate for these music box springs. #clockmaking #lindowclockmaker #southbendlathe #musicbox #musicboxrepair #horology #machinetools

Another atypical horological tool. The Commander Tapper power tapping head. See previous video of it in action. It turns clockwise as it goes down and goes into neutral when the feed stops. When the feed is reversed the direction changes. This can easily tap holes as small as 00-96 and as large as 5/16-18 or so. It was made to fit into a drawbar through the spindle and was matched to the Delta ram size. It is fast and efficient. The Delta drill press is admirably suited for the task as well with proper spindle speeds for fine and coarse thread pitches. #deltadrillpress #commandertapper #machinetools #clockmaking #lindowclockmaker #metalworking

The “Commander Tapper” power tapping head fitted to a Delta drill press tapping 1-72 threads. #lindowclockmaker #horology #clockmaking #deltadrillpress #commandertapper #metalworking #machinetools

I think I need to make more of these soon. It’s been a long time. Done on the Lindow Rose Engine using a curvilinear slide apparatus #lindowmachineworks #roseengine #roseenginelathe #lindowroseengine #ornamentalturning #peppermill

Not your typical horological tool but an integral part of our shop. Ingersoll-Rand T-30 air compressor with a 10 HP motor. It’s housed in its own small shelter on the side of the barn. #ingersoll-rand #horology #aircompressor #lindowmachineworks
