A Re-Pivot job

[watchweasol]

Hi   I got another Wag on the Wall Clock (postmans clock) in a box its had a hard life. Its been duly cleaned and in doing so on of the pivots was almost gone, So out comes the lathe and after making a pivoting flag to fit the tool rest post, down to work drilling the arbour and fitting a new pivot. The end result was a working clock again now on the test stand awaiting the dial and surround fitting.       I thought I had better post something in case you all think I dont do anything

Want pictures about the clock too! Your pivot looked like a roman onion brooch at the beginning.

Update: Just adding a link to this, an article which just came up at the same time with this post: new pivot 

Again google translate is needed and again it is not perfect but readable.

Pivots worn like that is sometimes caused by lack of oil and hard bit of grit that becomes trapped in the bush, after a time wears into the pivot due to the constant revolving of the wheel. 

Looks a fine job.
