SUMMARY:Challenging Clock Repairs
DESCRIPTION:IF ONLY I HAD KNOWN! \n“Experience is what you get just after you need it”\n— Steven Wright \nDon’t learn the hard way! Forewarned is forearmed! Sign up for a lively 4-day\, 3-instructor (Michael Gainey\, CC21; Jerry Faier\, CMC21\, FAWCI; Andrew Baron\, CC21) seminar in the beautiful Southwest\, benefitting from a collective century and a half of personal experience with the most troublesome types of clocks and clock repairs. \nNumerous examples will illuminate potentially hidden defects in common\, everyday types of movements\, as well as challenges to be found in less common movements that the unwary practitioner can be blindsided by. \nThis will be a rare\, exciting and interactive forum presented by a premier group of some of the most seasoned clockmakers in the country. Students are invited to ask questions as each movement is described and shown\, on screen and with physical examples. \nDay Two will include a hands-on Wooden Works activity with dedicated slide presentation\, in which students will disassemble and reassemble these early 19th century movements\, while discussing their unique problems and challenges. \nStudents are also invited to bring their currently most challenging clock movements to the class for discussion and guidance. One example per student\, please. For the Wooden Works workshop\, students are encouraged to source and bring a “Terry patent” style 30-hour shelf-clock movement. A limited number of this type of movement will be available at the class\, for a refundable $150 deposit\, or outright purchase. \nWhether you are already an active professional or plan to become more involved\, this essential seminar will lay the groundwork for greater success by helping you to avoid costly mistakes in underpricing inherently problematic\, or unexpectedly time-consuming jobs. Students will come away with a keener awareness of how to spot trouble in advance\, and appropriately adjust customer expectations. \nClass cost is $850 per student for the four day course\, with a maximum of 20 students for the course. To register for the course\, contact AWCI Office Manager James Sprague at james@awci.com or by calling 513-367-9800\, ext. 301. \nSuggested lodging is the Pecos Trail Inn\, adjacent to the Pecos Trail Café. This recently updated historic motor lodge offers clean rooms and attractive rates. When calling to make room reservations\, be sure to mention that you are a clock class student\, in order to receive a 10% courtesy discount. A limited number of discounted rooms are available\, so don’t delay. Address: 2239 Old Pecos Trail\, Santa Fe\, NM 87505\nPhone: (505) 982-1943. \nDate:  June 11-14\, 2025  9 a.m.-6 p.m. \nLocation:  Pecos Trail Cafe and Inn\, 2239 Old Pecos Trail\, Santa Fe\, NM 87505 https://www.thepecostrailinn.com \nClass cost:  $850 per student \nInstructors:  Jerry Faier\, CMC21\, FAWCI; Michael Gainey\, CC21; Andrew Baron\, CC21
