Wooden Movement Restoration and Repair Course.

This is the first time this much information has been available and compiled on the subject of wooden works movement restoration and repair!! There are no other currently published books or video available on this repair subject. This 2 volume 4 DVD disc video course with a repair manual of additional instruction is for you.

There is no other clock repair DVD or video program available with this amount of instruction and detail. Filmed in high quality digital video, the easy to follow step by step approach guides you quickly through the repairs. With proper repair knowledge, many discarded movements that were thought to be beyond repair, can be restored. See and understand with close up shots of actual live repairs!!

Broken wheels, wheel teeth, pinion leaves, movement plates, retainers, pivots, levers, complete time and strike systems can be repaired and restored. Learn to repair with minimal and common tools, not a lot of expensive equipment.

The basic principals of time and strike mechanisms remain constant. Working with movements made of wood cannot always be repaired and serviced in the same manner as brass. Wood presents different challenges that must be addressed in a way that accommodates the various characteristics of wood. Many different techniques and procedures need to be used in the repair of wooden movements verses brass movements.

A detailed 36 page instruction repair manual is provided with this course. It follows the sequence of the DVD portion with additional information and notes for each repair procedure. A full 3 page tool list is included in the back of the manual. The tool list provides the make, model and where to purchase each tool. Plans to build your own wooden works movement test stand is included! The manual includes many additional tips, notes, illustrations, and diagrams not included in the DVD portion of the program.
