Vivian, you did a very professional job putting the video together and tackling the job of refinishing the clock. I have my parents Ingraham clock that has been in a storage box for 35 years. I'm having the clock professionally cleaned and repaired and was told he did not work on the case, so I am looking forward to using your video for reference while repairing it myself. Thanks

Great job. Looks good. I need to do the same. Thanks for explaining the faux marbling. I have a Seth Thomas 1930....dial glass broken for years. This clock was definitely set on a fireplace mantle for years. I have to see if the paper can be cleaned or I'll leave as is.

Great video, you are easy on the ears…..and very talented. As you clock was distressed the restoration was amazing. My question for a true antique patina is it a bad move to brasso the fixtures? I have an 1890 Seth Thomas Mantle and overall the finish is just old not peeling. Thanks

You're case resto came up when I was researching Ingraham clock cases on my other channel. This video is top notch(not overproduced, yet I wanted to see more of your work and voiceover), and I'm sad you've lost interest in adding to this channel(unless you've made a new channel). I have no talent in making videos, so even full resto videos just aren't good. It is partly a time issue, as I do restoration for a living at about 70hrs/wk. But, mostly I sound like an idiot. Your voice is perfect for this type of video. I can't seem to ever be excited enough when trying to do this stuff after 20+ years doing the work without talking (working alone). I have a nearly identical clock, but the black finish was excellent, so I just did some antique gold rub-n-buff on the metal pieces(mine are pot metal with brass plate corroded away - except the dial and glass setting which are brass). Then waxed the case with Johnson's paste wax and #0000 wool for a satin finish. You can easily redial these clocks. Just look online for Ingraham dials, print on antique white paper(after getting size right), and enamel clear to give an even faux patina. I redialed mine with roman numerals, and Roman numerals look much more appropriate on these clocks. I also reversed the side ornaments on mine to change it up a bit. I may flip them back over, since Ingraham never oriented them that way. Also have a set of Lion's heads from a house fire Ingraham that I may use. Though, I have one last Ingraham to work on and it has no side ornaments. It does need some case work, but thankfully it never had the faux marbling on it.

I’m trying to glue a Glass Baron piece but I can’t get it to work and I’m using the Loctite Glass Glue. Frustrating. I hold it for well over a minute and it is still liquid at the joint. Doesn’t dry at all! What am I doing wrong?

Im not sure if you have tried it or not, but sudsy ammonia works great on brass to clean it before you polish it. The polish i use is semichrome, and even it has ammonia in it.

Hi Vivian looks great My question is a little different... I worked on a 1914 Ingraham mantel clock . I restored the case. Looking for someone to put the mechanism back together. Can you share the cost of putting the mechanism back together? I live in Minnesota. Thanks Jim

Thank you for posting this. Your clock turned out great! I am working on a 1924 Ingraham Model 1833 (a lower-end version of yours, I believe) and recently came to the conclusion that the existing finish is not salvageable. Your video has encouraged me to move forward with replacing the finish!

You did a great job Vivian! That dial though isn't paper, Ingraham called it "Iveroid" which is similar to celluloid but made with a different formula. You brought a big skill set to the table on this clock. Really nice!

What type of resin is this? This would be perfect for a glass figurine I broke, but I've never worked with resin before.
@vivianhansen8283
2 жыл бұрын
I used a resin called EasyCast Clear Crafting Epoxy, but there are many craft-grade epoxies that would work just as well. The Loctite Glass Glue worked great just for gluing pieces back on, and the resin is good for filling in sections of missing glass. I’d definitely suggest experimenting with the resin first before fixing your figurine, as it’s very tricky. There are lots of great KZitem videos about how to use it though. For this project, timing is key; you have to wait till it’s the perfect consistency before applying it. Apply it too soon and it’ll be a runny, sticky mess! But once you get the hang of it, it’s easy and fun to do. Good luck - I hope your project turns out great!

Thank you. Used to work with resin in a marble factory. Panicked when something dear to me bought by my wife broke last night and I ran through all possible ways in my head to repair it but it still look like actual glass when finished. I overlooked resin being so upset with myself for my clumsiness. Don't know how long it would have actually taken me to realize its perfect for this type of thing if I had not found ur video. Thank you person =).

You’re welcome! That’s exactly why I made this video, in hopes of helping out someone else in a similar situation. My project didn’t make the glass figurine good as new, but it’s definitely better than a box full of shattered glass pieces. I’m sure you know how tricky resin can be, so my only tip would be to experiment with it first, then do the repair in sections, allowing the other sections time to cure. Good luck on your project!

Oh, how fun! I definitely suggest using foam like I did to make the hill, and building in those small loops that work as tie-downs for the wire. The wire holds the foam on when I water the tree, which I do by sitting it in a tray of water. I keep my tree outdoors, and everything is still looking good. Good luck on your bonsai! ❤️
