I took my first clock apart 50 years ago. It is still apart. That’s why I’m a wood worker! Great series
Hahaha. So many parts and tiny stuff!
I know this is a year old, but this hilarity absolutely made my day! Cheers.
It is hilarious and definitely relatable to many
😂😂😂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🍻
My adopted dad was a clockmaker for over 50 years. Some of the clocks he built from scratch and repaired were beyond impressive and beautiful.
I work on cuucoo clocks with my small hands. It’s a hobby and love I will never stop doing. It’s amazing how much heart goes into each and every one. They become a part of you literally.
It is not a superstition, when you love a clock and you or a loved one passes away, the clock stops at the time of passing. There is so much history in clocks of every kind.
Thank you for featuring this wonderful craft.
Thank you for sharing. It's great you followed your Dad's craft.
@@CraftsmansLegacy Ty! Even tho it’s challenging at times with certain rebuilds, it brings a lot of joy to my heart when they start to sing again or for the very first time. There are so many crafts that are dying out. It breaks my heart that the younger generations most of them just don’t care like we do.
@@jennylawson1980 i know this is an old post, but many people like me really appreciate what you do. If I wasn’t busy making knives I’d be learning clocks. I have always been fascinated by clockwork and the beauty of their design.
I repair band instruments. I toured the Selmer factory and saw amazing hand ingraving. If you are ever in Vermillion, SD, I suggest you tour the Shrine to Music Museum. The craftsmanship of the instruments is outstanding.
Amazing story I love clocks and really want one of his clocks now.
Another great episode! What amazingly beautiful and intricate clocks!! It was so kind of Nathan and Jennifer to give you the lovely engraved pocket watch!! Such a thoughtful gesture!! That's a gift to forever treasure!
This is an incredible series. The words Thank You seem to fall short for expressing how I feel watching these talented craftsman. God bless you all and keep you safe.
Very kind to say. Thank you!
I hope and pray that in my next life, my next reincarnation, I will be a clockmaker. Or at least a carpenter, or a glassblower, or any of these wonderful craftsmen and women.
Thank you for the many wonderful episodes, Eric.
So happy to find this episode here! I first watched on PBS around 3 am while tending to my sick baby the other night. My husband will be delighted to see it since he is a watch and clock enthusiast.
What an incredible gift this talented artist is. I will now research his website
Thank you so much 🎉
I envy you so much! I love the clocks you made.
Wow!!!!! Amazing workmanship
Very true!! Thanks
I got hooked on repairing clocks a few years ago and, I understand what he is talking about when, he talks about the factory made clocks.They work well but,can’t compare to the ones that were hand made.Now, I have this uncontrollable desire to build my own.He should sell plans. I would buy them.
I enjoyed this episode I have a few clocks love them for decoration. I also like watching Steve repair clocks on the Repair Shop on TH-cam.
These probably are the very best videos on TH-cam. Each on is instructive and fascinating and it honors not only a person but also a trade. truly wonderful
Thank you for the kind words!
You are welcome.
Merry Christmas
I just discovered "A Craftsman's Legacy," and I love the show. I am fascinated by the crafter's artistic process. This was my favorite show yet, but then I am fascinated by small pieces and bits. And clocks, too, of course. Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
I'm a hobby woodworker and make small items of furniture and do quite a bit of turning. I really appreciate real crafts people and I have to say this is the best video that I've watched. Such skill required by this team inspires me greatly and urges me on to always do better.
I agree! The Bowers are incredible and inspirational
It’s very satisfying to make a skeleton clock and to see it working. Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm into clockmaking and model engineering, both are crafts that tie together and are well worth studying. I hope to pursue the craft in the future and maybe make a business out of it, and bring it back to life :) ⚙️
Incredibly fascinating work. Self taught designs. Amazing.
True!! Super talented guy.
This is one of my favorite episodes. I enjoy working on all Old American clocks.
Soooo many gears! Still amazed at his skills! Thank you
We need more craftsman in the world.
awesome series
Thank you
Love the story behind the craftsman and his wife, his skills are sublime
that was awesome, certainly are kind of person in this age of technology. .. .
I’m just blown away. Absolutely beautiful and amazing!!! Wow!!! I’m glad to see that!!!
Thank you so much!
Another awesome episode, what a great couple!
Amazing artist and craftsman. It takes great patience and dedication to make and build a clock. To design and build one from scratch is another level... There are few people that do such as the modern world does not seem to value handworkmanship nor attention to detail.. Yes there are some people that still appreciate such mannificent pieces of craftsmanship. and artistry
Well said!
First off let me say there are definitely all kinds of people in this world. I can’t imagine why someone would feel the need to give you a thumbs down. That said, what a exciting and feel good video. What a great couple! Fantastic look at a craft and surely an art! I think your channel is one of the top ones on the network!
Thank you. Well said.
I really like that some of this stuff is coming back around. Smart phones nearly destroyed the watch industry, over the past couple years, watches have been making a comeback.
I like it too! Thank you for watching
This series is amazing, it's ridiculous. I've really enjoyed them all over the past couple days
Thank you! You might want to visit our website for all 54 episodes. www.craftsmanslegacy.com
Thankyou for such a good demo of making such a beautiful clock and seeing all those tools and machines, I do love the gearcutter.
Thank you very much! Me too!
Amazing!!
Thanks!!
Wow, Nathan's work is amazing.
I recently started a clock repair apprenticeship, and this video was a fun insight into the possibilities. I'm inspired by this couple and this series. Thank you all!
So cool! Glad you liked it! Good luck
Chim,
I completed a 2 year clock repair apprenticeship 20 years ago. It has been an avocation for me all these years and continues to challenge me.
I cannot claim to be a clockmaker like Nate Bower. I admire his talent and dedication.
I know exactly what you're talking about. I too feel compelled to do things with my hands. For about 40 years I've had a home metalworking shop, making things as diverse as a part for a washing machine to new valve guides for a friend's Ducati motorcycle to model stationary steam engines. A few years ago I got interested building guitars. A local luthier agreed to teach me how, and in the past 7 or 8 years I've made four acoustic guitars, three mountain dulcimers, a bass dulcimer, and a long banjo neck for a friend''s banjo. Oh yeah -- a couple of native American style wood flutes, and a very simple clock. And I wouldn't say I have great talent. It's just a matter of wading in and doing it, and not caring if you screw up. My shop is littered with "learning experiences."
That is the best way to learn...through mistakes. Getting your hands dirty and mind moving!
excelente video
Thank you!!
This is my second favorite video of 'Legacy.' Miss this show ...
Thank you! Which is your favorite?
@@CraftsmansLegacy It's a tie between 'The Book Maker' and 'The Drum Maker.' (I'm a drummer and Lit. Maj. ... So, you know) ...
The watch that they gave him is great. And the clocks that they make are fantastic.
It was very kind of them to engrave a pocket watch. The amount of detail in the clock builds is amazing. They are both incredibly gifted
Lololol I found myself blowing the chips too when you were cutting so I could see the line………so talented wow…..😎
Love the shot at 1:19 - I have an original Seth Thomas #2 that’s over 100 years old.
Fantastic! How did you come to own that?
utterly brilliant thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow - Very impressive and beautiful work - Wish I could afford one of your clocks 👍
Beautiful work for sure. I have no idea what they cost to purchase.
Nice... Thanks, Eric!
