Meeting/Workshop Activity
My Guest David Booth will be demonstrating how to drill arbors easily for re-pivoting clocks

*******************************
Tech Question for the next meeting:
How do you determine if a clock has failing chrome plated pivots?
*******************************

From the Pres.
John Ryea has our safety sign up forms ready, see John at the next meeting to get your form filed away.
 
Stan has asked for more idea's for lectures or projects you Watch guys want to get into. Stan is bursting at the seams wanting to help and needs a direction.
 
Both April meetings were the relaxed laid back type. Nothing was specifically planned and all had a good time. I introduced my Guest David Booth, who is living in Westminster and has been a Self Employed Horologist for several years. Besides doing clocks and watches he recently took on Restoring Westminster's Town Tower Clock. That will be a labor of love as time goes on. He also had an interesting method of drilling arbors for re-pivoting which he will demonstrate at our May 11 meeting.
George Tresansky and I showed some Video's from
Métiers d’Art Series
