Clock Repair DVD Video - Repairing the Black Forest Cuckoo Clock with Music Box

Description

DVD only, Clock not Included
We Ship Overseas, Free Shipping in the USA
To all my Students and Subscribers,
When was the last time you picked up a clock and wondered what it'd be like to repair it. What is it that clockmakers know that seems Magical? How hard could it be to learn? Could I really do this?
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.
Cuckoo Clocks are everywhere, yet they all seem to look different. Lucky for us the majority of CC's use Regula Movements to power their Time, Striking and Music Box. You will see and adjust how the movement drives its pendulum, hands, bellows and whistles, hammer and music box in the proper sequence.
Replacing worn parts and well as proper oiling procedures are explained and shown. Clock repairing always starts with the first one and then another to use your new found talent.

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.
Make yourself a Gift of my Video's and see a new world of how things work and a Trade you will never forget.
I look forward to hearing from you, like this Great Feedback from a returning Student!!
Hi Al,
I just finished the 2-DVD lesson on the 1913 Gilbert that you sent. I must say that you did an outstanding job! I really enjoyed watching you work your way through each hurdle that you came across. You demonstrated that a person can solve many problems if they will just think them through. This DVD is really helping me with the Gilbert 1912 Mission mantel clock that I’m working on. It’s sort of like having your teacher there with you, showing you what to do next.
My grandfather collected and repaired clocks when I was young. I doubt that he would have ever imagined that you could learn clock repair by watching clips over this thing called the “internet”, or watch full length training material on DVD. What a world!
Thanks again!

Welcome to my Clock Repair Series, this 2 DVD Set features the 8 Day Black Forest Cuckoo Wall Clock. 5 hours 30 minutes.
It has Twirling Dancers, Moving Water Wheel, Clock
Peddler
with moving Umbrella, a 22 note Music Box all driven by the
Regula
34, 8 Day Movement. The
Regula
25,  30 Hour movement is similar and actually has less parts but the same abilities. CC's with less Animation are repaired the same way, just skip to the Chapters which apply to your Clock. I hope you enjoy this video as much as I did making it, we would be hard pressed to find another clock with all of these Animated Features.
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 Time Movements.
I'll show you the steps such as Removing Movement from Case, Examination, Spliting the plates, Cleaning and polishing the working components, Repairs as needed such as Bushing Work and Assembly.
