I remember my master re-pivoting a French clock wheel without a lathe, just to show me it could be done, he took a centre punch to the side of his vice to stop the wheel slipping then filed the end where the pivot needed to go , also punched that then filed up a spade drill in a wooden block with a pin vice and then used an old bow driven drill restingthe wheel against the side of the vice , took him about ten minutes for the whole job and it was perfect !
