Thats the spirit Dave!
If things start to get you down just pop in and tell us, there is always a way through it. I do it all the time
Some of the clocks I have done I have had to take apart 4 or 5 times, its the same as anything, it can get real frustrating, but like I said, walk away and come back to it with a calm mind, it can help loads.
Please let us know how you get on.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !! I have a clock I am working on and I felt TOTALLY defeated !! It is keeping time but the strike at twelve is only two and sometimes not on the half of 10 or 11 or 1. Sometimes the gathering pin gathers twice on the rack, resulting in half the strike it should be. It is a rack and snail setup, should be real easy to figure out but alias it is giving me fits. I was ready to give up. Your post, for that matter, this entire thread, has helped me to refocus my efforts!! I will solve this trouble. I will walk away and come back refreshed. If I get frustrated, I will walk away again. I will not give up, nor give in!!
