Have an old clock around that doesn’t “tock” to you anymore? Discover how to take it apart, learn part names and their sources. Perform proper techniques and cleaning solutions to make the brass shine again. Learn how to correct the top three reasons for misbehaving clocks. Bring your clock, a few pliers and screwdrivers, a small plastic container and lid for screws and small parts, and a large plastic container and lid for gears and the brass plates. Get your gears going and explore the world of clock repair in this new seven-week course. Cleaning kits are available for participants to purchase if they choose.
