55:34 - Excellent advice about not working on friends/family clocks until you're more experienced. I've repaired only a few clocks, and yet because I did a couple youtube videos about those repairs, I get notes from total strangers who want me to work on their clocks. I explain that I'm inexperienced and wouldn't want to ruin their clock. I've worked on only two friends/family clocks - cuckoo clocks - with good results only because I was lucky and because I cleaned similar eBay cuckoo clocks before I worked on "the real thing". Thanks again for these informative videos!
Thanks Bradford. yes, I have learned that the hard way and with students who enthusiastically gotten out of their depth. Thanks for the kind comments. Matthew
Very pleased to have found this. I inherited my grandfathers clock collection, he was a clockmaker in Cambridge Ontario who apprenticed in Hull. I have been looking forward to having them running again and think this a great introduction.
Hi all this was a brilliant session and the skill and knowledge was amazing. Thank you so much for all involved and i cannot wait till the next installment.
Re: About 13:13 yes, the American clocks I've seen (Seth Thomas, Sessions, Ansonia) have stamped plates with large cutouts. I'm learning a lot from your videos - thank you!

Hull! Know it well! John Harrison country! My grandad apprenticed in Goole, just up the river Ouse. Thanks for the comment.

Gracias por su encuesta. Todavía no tenemos muchos espectadores de habla hispana. Creo que puedes hacerlo en TH-cam, poner subtítulos y traducir.
