I have to hand it to you guys up North

[nbristow01]

For a very long time I used to restore and flip antique clocks. Some very very high dollar ones. I used to yank the movements apart to rebuild, bush etc. What I learned when doing this is how many fine craftsmen we have up in the snow belt. I used to have guys do all my gear and pinion cutting, re-pivots on pocket watch gears etc. This one guy could do incredible engraving like I have never seen before.

The reason being (I was told by many) is the winters are so cold and long that there is really not much else to do in down time.

But I still don't see how you guys can hang tough in that cold ass stuff.

I turn into a big p%$sy when it gets below 60

You'd think with all this whack time we northerners would have the most pristine 02's out of the crowd.

Instead I'm hunting Eskimo woman & hell I don't know what Blunts hunting. Whatever he can find in -28 degrees I guess. Polar bear??? Cave woman???

BLUNT..hmmmmm..hunting Snipe I bet

-16 dergees in New York Country this AM. Went to Home Depot midday to pick up a wheelbarrow wheel and the guy said I was the only one who came into the "outdoor section" so far. I smiled and went for a 6 mile run and sweated my ass off. Good times w/o the o2..

When it gets really cold like it is now, time is best spent working on rebuilding things on the bench right in front of the heater. Just finished a steering rack for my TR.

Does that somehow make your post relevant?

Consider posting in the "off topic" forum.

And either will my reply, but as a fellow Horologist and NAWCC member we can get it back on topic.

Compared to replacing the balance staff in Illinois 23J 60 Hour Bunn Special or re-bushing a Model 2 Seth Thomas, Tii clocks should be a piece of cake for you to service and repair.

So it is relevant topic after all.

Nice save. Two weekends ago I just finished replacing an escapement on a S.Thomas 30 hour ogee. But that has as much to do with 02's or tii clocks, as the original post. Sorry, but it really is off topic.

I live up north, work for a big clock company and own a 2002.

There, that makes it officially on topic. And we had a sample maker named Eddie.

I do the woodworking at a related facility and know nothing of the movement parts however. Group hug anyone?

I was a member of NAWCC for years. Several guys had 2002's. I had the opportunity to rebuild several triple Fusee movements for one of them. All I can say is thank goodness for digital cameras. They all had very nice 02's LOL

An immature reply that proves there is no reason to have an off-topic forum.

Mr. Pentwater

Do you have any extra lake effect snow to share?

I am suffering from a serious disease called e30itis. I can almost count how many we have in the fold.

So the 2002 sits behind a stable of 20 year new cars that demand routine maintenance.
