Cut out and solder in a new piece of brass shaped to fit
When I repair an old clock I always try to use the old methods and in most cases the old ways are still the best, I will always try to keep the old
part but new parts can be made if required.
part but new parts can be made if required.
This is the result of a loop of string tied to the key as the clock was wound the string caught on the hand and ripped the pin out of the end of the shaft.
First the clock had to be striped, then a small piece of silver steel cut to fit the hole.
The top of the shaft was then heated to red hot and silver soldered The
Problem is the lower part of the shaft is tempered so it must not get to hot. Turn to size, polish and drill a new hole.

This is a wheel repair the first tooth on the right is a steel pin not a good repair. At this point I a new wheel can be made but its not original.
