Thanks Glenn. Appreciate it

Jeremy, many thanks but couldn't open it.

Does anyone have a copy of that blueprint of a colonial toaster posted years ago by Duck and Mouse not sure if I got the the posters right but it was a very clever BP in cartoon style. Thanks

Had an opportunity to try some today. Coal forge. Worked really well.

Your question is so totally stupid and insulting to all the great smiths worldwide ( including many who actively post here) that I get downright mad every time I see it. The scope of the craft is wide and deep friend, pity you don't have a clue about that or you wouldn't make such an ignorant post. If you want a popularity contest watch the Academy Awards.

Kim Thomas has some great photos of one he restored on his website . i' m starting next week

check out what I found.. Between this and Moxon, and some advice from a clock person who knows something about verge and foliot mechanisms I think with some work persistence and luck it can be done.. Big Swey

Thanks for the leads. I downloaded Moxon now I just need to study it.thanks again. Big Swey

Any ideas on where I can find plans or an exploded drawing for a clock (spit). Jack. Any help appreciated.

great inputs.Thanks much I'll give the wrap and braze method a try..
