This is an excellent DVD. Really goes into the basic of disassembly - inspection - cleaning. Highly recommended to a beginning clock worker.
Excellent training. Very detailed with excellent filming to give hands on experience. I couldn't be more pleased with the set of 4 DVDs. John knows how to get down to the details that are required to properly repair clocks. He also passes on many of those important items learned through experience that are not in the books.
This Video is a Great video about clocks!!!!!!
This is a good video to learn about clock repair.
I enjoyed the clock repair DVDs very much and would recommend them to others.
Good production, lighting and closeup work well though out. Jon Tope is knowledgeable and articulate.
Very clear, thorough treatment. Good photography--I appreciated the close-ups.
Clock Repair 3 was well done, quite informative, and very well lighted. closeups are sharp and well thought out. Dialog is kept simple and direct to the subject, Too many teachers love to hear themselves talk. I like John's minimizing the need for expensive tools if it can be done more economically.
Excellent. I didn't know anything about clocks. This DVD was exceptional from the video work to the lessons.
Very informative. Decent quality video and audio. I would recommend this DVD to anyone who has an interest in clock repair.
Informative. Helpful. Strongly recommend.
Great Video. Very informative. Good descriptions and camera work. A great intro for a complete beginner (me).
An excellent intro video to clock repair. John's open and down to earth style of presentation make you feel like not are you learning but also right there and his best friend and assistant. John opens the door to a new world of challenges for the beginner without over-whelming the viewer. As a "newby" myself, His detail is sufficient to allow you to understand the breakout on a clock but yet realize that clock repair is either something you have an aptitude for or not.
