5.0 out of 5 stars
Perfect for the Antique clock enthusiast and restorer,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Making and Repairing Wooden Clock Cases (Paperback)
I found this book to be filled with valuable lost arts in restoring and preserving antique clocks. The author does not really give any exacting clock plans but gives you many helpful tips and basic woodworking techniques for making authentic antique clocks. You will not find any tacky quartz battery junk here as you do in most other misleading titles.
