Awesome! - what do you use to age those clock/watch parts?

I used a sulphur-based patina, and thank you

I used a sulphur-based petina, and thank you

Cool - can you explain what you use to make it? Is it off the shelf? I have used cold gun blues for this sort of thing in the past but never come across a sulphur option.

There are heaps of tutorials online such as this one, which is kinda cool https://youtu.be/yl67z6XmNiQ
You can purchase patina from any decent jewellery supply store. Heres a link to the product I used. A little goes a long way ... https://koodak.com.au/products/liver...d66cf385&_ss=r
There are number of different types you can purchase for different metals and finishes so find out what you want and take it from there.

You will also need a neutralising solution to dip it in after it has blackened. 2 tablespoons Baking soda mixed with 500ml water. You don't need to leave it in for long, only a few minutes. Then dry and polish it, leaving black sections where needed. You can get some great finishes. Some of the best ones are unplanned.

And most important .. have fun with it
