Rooted in Restoration

Before entering the world of clock repair the owner of Eastport Clock spent sixteen years in the historic restoration trade. Much of this work involved painting and repairing older structures that required a very careful hand. One primary focus during these years was the restoration of antique plaster walls. These walls were made with ingredients that reflect the progression of building methods including horse hair sand oyster shell and early forms of wall board. To repair these surfaces correctly every detail had to be studied and recreated. This taught patience and discipline and encouraged a thoughtful approach to old materials. After an injury in two thousand eight the path shifted. This unexpected event led to an introduction to a master clock maker. Training began soon after and the meticulous skills developed in restoration blended naturally with the demands of clock repair. This experience created a foundation for a business that respects tradition and values the knowledge of earlier craftsmen.

Training With a Master Clock Maker

Learning under a master clock maker provided education that cannot be gained from books alone. The training included guidance on identifying subtle mechanical issues tracing the movement of gears and understanding the reasons a clock may run briefly and then stop. It required steady hands and careful judgement. The owner learned to take apart movements piece by piece study each component and understand how even a small area of wear could affect the entire mechanism. This included learning to polish pivots address worn bushings and examine wheels and pinions for age related concerns. The instruction was direct and thorough and focused on respect for the original design of the timepiece. This education forms the core of Eastport Clock. Every project is approached with the same attentive method that was passed down through this training and every repair is completed with the expectation that the timepiece will leave the shop in dependable condition.
