Many members will remember Sid\u2019s talk on \u201cWorkshop Practice \u2013 Hints &amp; Tips\u201d and know that we are in for a very practically focused evening. This is a change to our published programme as unfortunately due to a business commitment David Walter cannot be with us and we are very grateful to Sid for stepping in at such short notice.<br \/>\nSid says \u201cbeing in engineering for most of my working life has its advantages as most of the required hand skills were brought about by lots of practice. During the practice there was also a large amount of small machine tool work (lathes \/ milling etc.) again helping greatly when it comes to making replacement parts and methods of repair.\u201d<br \/>\nThe talk covers the restoration of a clock purchased at a branch auction some four years ago and shows how Sid used his engineering ideas to make the missing parts plus a small amount of carpentry.<br \/>\nThe clock by a local &#8220;Maidstone&#8221; maker is a good example of a small double fusee in a pleasant rose wood veneered case.<br \/>\nSid hopes we will enjoy the talk as much as he enjoyed restoring the clock \u2013 I am sure we will!!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1379\" src=\"http:\/\/slbbhi.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Apr_Intro_Clock.jpg\" alt=\"Apr_Intro_Clock\" width=\"310\" height=\"413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slbbhi.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Apr_Intro_Clock.jpg 1944w, https:\/\/www.slbbhi.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Apr_Intro_Clock-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.slbbhi.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Apr_Intro_Clock-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RESTORATION OF A BRACKET CLOCK Sid Lines MBHI For our April meeting we are delighted to welcome Sid Lines MBHI.
