Howdy to you all.
I am Christopher,living in Launceston, beautiful Northern Tasmania.
I am a professional furniture tradesman.
Been in the trade since 1986.
I make Longcase (Grandfather) Clocks as my hobby...
Been making them since 1993.
I think as myself as 'non traditional' that is I drew up the plans for the clocks I make and ,although my clock is similar to a traditional clock,I never follow a bought plan,therefore making my clocks a little different to standard shop bought clocks.
I use a German 'Hermle' movement.
I figure if you are buying a heirloom then you need to use a long lasting and renowned timepiece.

Cheers Christopher.:doh:
