  My interest in clocks and antiques started 25+ years ago.  My wife Cynthia wanted to buy an antique tambour (camelback) clock like the one her parents once had on their mantel.

Since then we have accumulated several tambours and a wide variety of many other types of antique clocks.

Most of the clocks we bought needed some work, or did not work at all.  That is where I came in to learn to fix them all!

I still continue to buy, sell, repair, and collect many antique clocks.

For most parts of the U.S., and outside of the U.S., there are very limited resources to learn clock repair.  These DVDs and videos are for those people who have some or no access to antique clock repair training.

Learning from books and manuals can be confusing and frustrating.  That is why I have created these DVDs and videos for you.  Even though I have learned from many books and manuals, nothing beats someone showing and telling.
