I was polishing the gilt on an antique clock’s face and the gears are a bit loose. Since you’re good with metal, maybe you could help with tightening them?
Joel
Sure thing, just bring the clock over and I’ll tighten those gears. No fancy tools needed, just a proper hand and a good bit of patience. Let’s get those cogs back in line.
GoldFillet
Sure, but don’t think I’ll settle for a “just a hand” approach. I’ll need a brass caliper, a gentle hammer, and, if you’re lucky, a touch of patience worthy of a 17th‑century workshop. Bring the clock, bring your tools, and maybe a second hand that’s as steady as my gold leaf.

Got it, I'll bring the caliper, hammer, and all the parts I need. We'll tighten those gears just right and keep the clock ticking like it was meant to. No shortcuts, just solid work.
