Repair #3: Desk Clock
There's a lot of little things that my grandfather left my mother and me. Most of which were aged to a point where they are beyond repair, as was the case with the desk clock he had sitting in the back room. It was wood worm infested and - whenever it would work for a bit - crumbled when the chimes hit. So my mom decided it should get thrown away. I saved the clockwork back then and built a new case; because I kind of like the memory of these chimes... childhood memories and such, you know...
Anyhow, the clock worked for quite a bit until it stopped... this is my attempt at repairing and finishing up the project from early 2015.
