In this video, I cover the process of making a replacement wheel for an antique clock, start to finish.
The clock is a rather nice 18th-century quarter chiming table clock and the existing wheel was a poorly made replacement. The client wanted a more appropriate replacement making.
I have broken down the topics covered and linked their place in the video so that you can jump to each specific process as it interests you.
