Mike's clock workshop
Rick O Shea:
Hello All,
This is my first attempt at posting photographs never having had a photo bucket before.......

Rick O Shea:
Well that worked, :beer: Most of my work is based around the repair of Antique Clocks, but I also repair magnetic speedometers, they were made by smiths / jaeger and others pre and post second world war.
The workshop is about 12 foor square and is a tempoary one at present. In it I have shaublin 70, Myford Super 7, BCA jig borer, Tom Senior two cutter grinders a watch makers lathe or two (or three), large QA drilling machine, and about 45 years of accumilated tool collecting.
I am planning to build a new workshop this year about 30 foot long and 12 foot wide with an insulated concrete floor, the present workshop has a suspended floor, and it is not possible to use the Tom Senior with out the whoile workshop vibrating.
I have built a James Coombes Table Engine from castings, been making a 2.5 gauge Eagle for about 35 years, and various clocks, in various states.
I have a nasty feeling I am very attracted to a webster engine.

Its OK her in the Galery Mike
Very nice workshop with some nice machines, how do you find the cutter grinders what make are they ?.
If you copy the picture image code into the thread it will be shown.

Rick O Shea:
Thanks Stew.
I have a Alexander copy of a t/c and a Tip Lap t/c. I have to be honest they are recent additions to the workshop and I have not used the alexander yet. I was lucky enough to get a box of accessories for the tip lap so I think that will possibly be the one that I shall use the most. I would prefer not to have grinders in the workshop where I assemble clocks and at the moment if I use a grinder I have to carry it out side.
I think that the BCA is the best machine for the sort of work I do.
I am not sure how to show the thread to the photos.
Mike
