Hey Ed, working on your cuckoo clock is a great idea, I am assuming it is a rack and snail chime setup, these can be confusing at first getting them set right but they are alot easier to see what is going on with all the levers and such (remember a couple of rules in clock repair = dont bend something unless you know for sure the way you want to bend it, and dont take off metal unless absolutely necessary as it is difficult to put back on), plus the movements are not that expensive. O.K., to do bushings on a clock you do not need a staking set, all that is required is a small hammer, round file, block of some sort and some bushings. Take another look at Bobs videos on bushing a clock movement, I think he has a couple of ways of doing it. Take your time with it Ed. William
