I got interested in vinyl cutting with getting married last year. We hand made save the dates, invitaion suite, decorations, signs, and thank you's from the Cricut. I got to wondering if I could produce a rear vehicle wi dow decal that looked professional. Below is the paper prototype. Defenitley need to get a few new cutting blades.

1912 Time & Strike. Clock has been disassembled, sonic cleaned, pivots polished, & 16 bushing. It's not uncommon on clocks that haven't been maintained for the gears, levers, and hammers to 'explode' on disassembly from old oil and caked on dirt. Working on setting the gear and lever position on the strike train. Reassembly, this tends to be tricky. Esp on older movements. Case work is next.

I wanted to give a shoot out to all the likes and followers of this page. Thank you, I greatly appreciate it. Please help spread the word. I'm constantly looking at new mechanicals to venture into to work on.

I get asked this a lot, how long I will have an item? I will have things for 3 - 4 months, if there are no major or complicated issues. My maternal grandfather worked on clocks and would answer "It'll take as long as it needs, and won't be done before then."

The next asked question I get, do you do this full time? No, I have a full time I.T. job. I work on your items in the evenings and on the weekends.

If you have to order part(s) for my item, how long will it take? That really depends on several things. First, is the part(s) still made. Second, are they in stock or back ordered. Third, will there be delays post covid. 95% of the time, what I need I can get within 7 - 10 days. The rest depends on being in the post covid era and if I can order it, how long will it take before I get it.
