How I became a full-time clock repairer

Every so often, my blog is actually about me. This is one of those times. I have an article in the current issue of Make Magazine (Vol. 40). I was asked to write about my recent career change to a full-time clock repairer.

A few things I don't say in the article are that I also display and sell some of my automata. I have four pieces available at the moment! I also display a whole bunch of antique clocks I have restored which are for sale. My studio is located in building that once supplied the leather belts that powered the industrial looms and other machines that filled the city of Lowell, Massachusetts.

I hope you enjoy the article, From Cubicle to Clock Repair.
