Our Next Mart is March 15th at 9:00 am.

March 15, 2026 Presidents Message,
We will continue to need some help setting up and taking down.  So arrive at 9:00 and help setup and stay after the educational talk to help return the room in the condition, we found it in.  Thank you for your help in this.

Some of our meetings will be in the lower hall if conflicts arise with American Legion Hall.  So, look for us in either hall.

I hope you enjoyed the educational talk by Craig White titled “Making Missing Brass Clock Case Parts.”  The talked showed how persistence pays off in making some missing case parts for a couple of old clocks.  A simple plastic casting with Rub & Buff surface treatment can be a great match,

Doors open at 9:00 for setup and mart. The educational talk at 11:00 is “Innovative Watches for Telling Time 300 Years Ago” by Richard Newman.

There will be a board meeting for officers and directors after the Educational Talk.

Educational Talks Planned for 2025:

  • March – Innovative Watches for Telling Time 300 Years Ago by Richard Newman
  • May – Gear Cutting by Mike Dempsey
  • September – Clock Movements 101 by Mike Dempsey
  • November – Isaac Rogers Ebonized Bracket Clock Restoration by Craig White

Free tables!!  A free silent auction table will also be available. 

Hope to see you all there. 
Thanks,
Craig
