SUMMARY:Foundational Clock Repair Skills
DESCRIPTION:Instructors: AWCI members David Lindow and Wayne Andrews \nCost: $695 for AWCI members – $845 for non-members \nClass Schedule: 3 days\, Wednesday-Friday\, March 11-13\, 8:00 a.m. – 5 p.m. \nFoundational Clock Repair Skills is a foundational class that offers to those new to clocks a basic understanding of the most fundamental operations involved in clock repair\, restoration\, and conservation. To more advanced students\, it will offer a deeper understanding and exposure to different techniques. These skills are essential for success and their mastery will increase profits and lower return rates. The class will cover basic lathe operations\, burnishing/polishing pivots\, re-pivoting\, making and setting bushings from scratch\, and the basic use of the depthing tool to check bushing work. \nThe course will be three days\, with the first two days covering the above topics and the third devoted to catching up on anything missed in the first two days and for students to apply the teachings they most need in a hands-on manner with instructors giving advice. The third day is less structured to give each student the flexibility to focus on the area most needed. \nTools Needed: No tools are necessary; however\, students are invited to bring their own tools such as pivot burnishers\, files\, and depthing tools. \nClass Size: Limited to 8 students. \nMaterials Fee: $100\, included in the course cost. This will include carbide turning tool\, boring tool\, part off blade and materials necessary to make bushings\, etc. \nIf you have any questions\, feel free to reach out to Jason Champion\, our education director\, at education@awci.com or at 513-367-9800\, ext. 303. \nTo register for the course\, contact AWCI Office Manager James Sprague at james@awci.com or at 513-367-9800\, ext. 301.
