Over the past years I have "collected" a few Welch Patti series cases that were little more than random parts. Eventually I thought I might have enough parts to create a sort of Patti. I had also foraged a few movements that weren't much better. My plan was to build(from all old parts) some sort of Patti style case with a visable escapement. Seemed like a cool idea at the time. My "friend" Murphy-we all know him,just when things seem to be going alon smoothly he throws a monkey wrench into the works! That's why the larger dial-it's German. Sorry there aren't any before pics,but the pieces were typical of what I generally start with. Also here are a couple that are awaiting restoration.The last on is a "Tycoon" that is restored. It has a colored tablet-really a pretty clock. I found a correct movement that was in practically new condition-just needed a good clean. runs about a minute a week!

As promised........the Dutch Clock

Well,just to keep everybody happy and up to date----the Dutch Clock which has been an on-again off-again affair is almost done. it is awaiting the final coat of finish. I have to wait to get the final pics because it is to tall to assemble in the shop. It's about 11 feet tall

Here's a cuckoo I recently finished for a customer. It needed a large dose of TLC. Not much in the way of case repairs but a whole lot for the mechanicals. Currently it is holding 1 to 2 minites a day. Put a fresh leather on the hammer-what a great sound!

The bob needed to much to repair-this is the replacement.

Here is an American Cuckoo Clock Co. Chalet-pretty unusual case. It came to me in a paper bag-fell off the wall!

Well,here we go again- this time a 1730/1750 Dutch Tall Clock. This one had fallen over shortly after it had been wound! Needless to say the damage is extensive. AND some of the pieces have been lost. The hardest part is going to be finding old matching veneer.
Never a dull moment.Here are a couple of pics to give an idea of the damage--right now just the bonnet.In addition to the current damage I have found that there has been previous damage that was not well repaired-so that will have to be redone. I am on the horns of a dilemma-the grilles,pretty badly broken,do I replace? do I repair? I would like to recover the backs with new silk. Can't do that now because the fabric is all that is holding them in shape.
