Clockmakers Newsletter Workshop Series – Book 1: Repairs by Steven G. Conover

Clockmakers Newsletter Workshop Series – Book 1: Repairs by Steven G. Conover compiles years of practical clock repair knowledge into a comprehensive workshop reference. Drawing from 256 issues of the Clockmakers Newsletter, this volume reorganizes articles, repair tips, reader questions, expert opinions, and technical discussions into an easy-to-use format organized by subject.

Unlike traditional repair manuals, this book presents multiple viewpoints from experienced clock repairers, professional repair shop owners, technical editors, and respected horologists, allowing readers to compare techniques and understand the reasoning behind different repair methods. Updated material and additional content have been included to create a practical reference suitable for both beginners and experienced clockmakers.

Topics include movement cleaning, lubrication, assembly techniques, pivot polishing, lantern pinion repair, soldering methods, troubleshooting, workshop setup, bushings, mainsprings, and answers to real-world repair questions submitted by readers. Each question is followed by expert guidance from Steven G. Conover or one of the contributing specialists.

Contributors also include British clockmaker Laurie Penman, technical editors, and experienced readers whose knowledge helped make the Clockmakers Newsletter one of the most respected publications in the clock repair industry.
