Sometimes, demonstrating a task is easier than explaining it. This 14-minute beginner’s guide covers the basics of winding a mechanical clock, which is perfect for those who have just purchased their first one and need guidance.
The video explains how to wind different types of antique and vintage clocks, including shelf clocks, tall case clocks, wall clocks, and mantel clocks.
It also covers the types of winding keys used and the importance of winding all necessary points. The guide begins with a brief introduction before demonstrating the winding process on various clock styles.
I’m no expert when it comes to making videos, but I try my best. If I missed a step, please let me know in the comments. Also, if there are more how-to videos you’d like to see, feel free to share your suggestions.

Antique and Vintage Mechanical Clocks 
Nice video. None of my clocks have arbors that wind in opposite directions as your Seth Thomas shelf clock. Loved the variety of windings of the clocks you own. I usually wind Sat. about 10:10 a.m. so I stay away from the hands. Thanks!

Thanks. Though not as polished as the big influencers, I try to make it practical and to the point.
