Rod. Sounds like you are missing the cock which is the part that the suspension spring/bob hangs from. I'll try to take a picture of one tomorrow and get back to you. Cheers, JL
Thanks James, that's exactly what is missing. A pic would be great when you get the time.
I have been building clocks since 1992 and do all the necessary machining. Glad to help. JL
There are several books on gear cutting but I like the way John Wilding explains the process best. If you have a milling attachment on your lathe it's not hard. He also explains how to make the fly cutters to cut the teeth. Try to find a copy of "How to make an eight day clock" Cheers, JL
