Waxing the Engraving of a back of a Clock



I Showed you a Dial Silvering and I was going on about the numerals and how they had wax in them,

so Ha ho I thought give my self a test on the good old waxing process.
I warning you it isn't easy as first of all you have to strip the clock down and that's a 300 year old fuse with the escapement to go with it . like a painting in my eyes to look at ticking away it would of been rude not to. when you skim the brass on the back to get the scatches out you take layers of the engraving away so a happy medium needs to take place. or you can carv the engraving out a tad but your wont be playing as your into serious getting told of by the customer if you mess up.
its a corker though. Dislexic so I do apologise about my gramma.
