Aw, don't worry, I'm not going to get too philosophical on you. I’m talking about this site and the YouTube channel. You can read up on that in the “About” section if you’re interested in how I got into flip clocks.

But in the beginning I just wanted a place to store some information and some videos so that I could remember what I was learning about flip clocks. I had it in my mind that maybe I could make some money restoring clocks. I did that for a time, but there was absolutely no way I that was going to work. Firstly, I had a real job (still do) that takes up a big chunk of my day. Secondly, I’m not a business man.

Then I realized that I actually just enjoyed the process of making videos and websites. The forum started up very slowly. I remember when we only had about 5 members. But they were all big fans of flip clocks. Then, as we grew, we started attracting people all over the world. Some of the best restorers of flip clocks are now active members here.

The other thing I enjoy is helping people. That gets me into trouble sometimes, because I’ll often fix a clock for free (I’m getting away from that). Yet, the whole point of the forum is to offer some advice and tips.

Now a blog too? Well, I do not pretend that I’m going to have loads of fatherly advice for the fans of flip clocks, but I have been around and have learned a few things along the way.

Let’s just see how this turns out.
