Elliot, Thank You for the link. I just finished viewing all four of his videos. The sawblade indexer and number stamping jig are very clever and will work fine for this kind of project. The Logan and

Wow, that is just incredible. Such precision, and a great video production. I’m going to have to watch the rest of his videos now! Thanks Elliot.

Chris, who has the youtube channel "Clickspring," has a series of videos on making a clock in the home machine shop. Here's the one that includes making the

Lyle Peterson (mrpete222, "Your Youtube Shop Teacher") has a series of four videos on making graduated dials for a lathe. He makes a set for his Logan lathe, but the process will be the same for any

Thanks all for the good advice. I’ll try soldering up the split first, planning to introduce a little solder into the hole at the same time, and then file it with a very fine rat tailed file.

For the cost and trouble of getting new hands and buying broaches if you don't have them, maybe either give up or get a different movement.

Thanks for the ideas… it’s actually split but it’s worth a go, nothing to lose I guess!

Correction to my post of a moment ago..? The word "busying" should of course be "bushing." Charles E. "Chuck" Kinzer

I think you might be able to reduce the hole size on the minute hand by pounding on the piece in that area to "flatten" it a little more.? The material has to go someplace, and the hole should close

Happy New Year all ! ?I’m after advice from horologists, or just those used to making tiny things! I’m fitting a small quartz clock movement into a small, broken clock. The face is nice, but the
