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.
The new teeth where then cut by hand and then shaped to the right shape. A long job but the clock is now back in good order.
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 pulled 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 solder used. 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.
