To all my Students and Subscribers,
Long/Tall Case Grandfather Clocks are the Proud Center Piece in every home. Its History makes Owners very proud of their Clock and the way it announces itself every hour. When the movement needs service its up to us to bring it back to life.
At less than half the cost of other Training Video's you can experience it for yourself. The video puts you closeup at the workbench instructed every step of the way. Each video takes you from start to finish on a specific clock so your not flooded with information applicable to other clocks. My teaching philosophy, I want to amaze my students with how much they can learn in a shorter amount of time.
Welcome to my Clock Repair Series, this DVD features the American Tall Case Clock made by Jacob Craft with 8 Day English Movement.
3 hours 50 minutes.
I hope you enjoy working on your first Tall Case Clock Movement.
There are hundreds of Clocks waiting to be repaired and you'll find them at yard sales, auctions and even your own attic or basement. Increase their value and beauty so they can be enjoyed by the next generation.
I created this Movement Specific Video to help you through the repair process and theory of clock movement operations. I explain the repair process by putting myself in your position. This movement is used in several different clock cases. Many techniques learned here are similar in other Movements.
I'll show you the steps such as Examination, Spliting the plates, Cleaning and polishing the working components, Repairs as needed such as Bushing Work and Assembly.

Let me show you what it would be like to pickup a Clock and see in your mind how it works, the many wheels turning so slowly that it takes a week or more to unwind. Taking it a step further, how could these wheels be made to run so precisely and why do they stop after so many years of running. You'll begin to recognize the worn area's and know how to repair it back to original health. This is what I show and explain in my Video's.
