I've been oiling a grandmother and Cuckoo clocks. It is a task that I don't really don't like. Lew said that he had used WD40 with success.

My shop walls are covered with reminders, good and bad! Even though I was using a great jig for the drill press some of the holes were shifting more than I could see with my eye balls and by the time I had dr

Here is a picture years ago of a clock I made from a slice off the side of a log where a knot was sticking out. I was scrounging for wood in the slab pile and the sawer walked up and handed it to me saying " make something out of this for my office." So I made him a wall clock. The second picture was the clock I made from the scrap bin at an industrial furniture plant ,out of Walnit. for the milkman. Herb
