In this episode I demonstrate the methods I used to polish all the brass elements of the clock frame. I also have a go at brush plating the bezel using a Caswell Plug 'N Plate Nickel solution. It worked, sort of, but I mainly relied on conventional nickel plating using the immersion method. I complete the frame with a hybrid French polish finish on the wooden components. As usual, there are plenty of mis-steps and outright fails too.
