Clock repair is almost a lost trade there is not that many clock repair tradesmen doing it any more mostly because a lot of old-time clock repair men have passed away or they are to old and cannot continue doing repairs. Times have changed and we live in a throwaway world where you buy a new clock and if it stops running you just throw it away and buy new one. There is still a lot of clocks out there that people want to have repaired this is why we have to keep this trade going. This is my first time watching a course on clock repair. I am glad that John has made these courses to get a new generation of clock repair people interested again in the trade. John tope has done a good job with this advanced course. This course on Advanced clock repair has good techniques and gives you step-by-step procedures on repairs. This course is for someone that has already some knowledge of clock repair,you must already know how to completely take apart and reassemble a clock before going through this course. I recommend it and if you already know how to do some of the repairs on this course it is always a good opportunity to watch a other clock repair person to get their techniques to make you more knowledgeable for repairs. I look forward to watching his other clock courses.
Excellent repair course. Easy enough for the beginner to understand yet thorough enough to move one further up the ladder of experience. I highly recommend it.
Excellent. So very professional with extremely clear visuals and verbal explanations. Like working beside John as he goes through his teaching. This comment applies to video 1 and 2 also.
Thought the clock works DVD was very well done and a wealth of information. I hope to get the next set of clock repair DVD soon. Thank Patrick
