Restoration of three 47 inch wooden tower clock dials on the South Kingstown, RI Town Hall
As part of Peter's clock restoration business in southern Rhode Island, he often takes on one or two public clock projects per year. These dials in the South Kingstown, RI Town Hall were in terrible condition, and restoring them was interesting in that it required skills in woodworking, painting, smalting, and gold leafing. Through photos and dialogue, Peter will take you through the process.
