Hi Doug,

We are absolutely delighted to have Suzanne's clock back and working.
Thank you so much for the time and trouble and patience that you put into this enterprise, which I know was a rather frustrating experience for you. Nevertheless, you won in the end.

Dear Doug,

The Bracket Clock is ticking the way it should for the first time in half a century, accurate to a few seconds in 24 hours.
It was a pleasure to meet a master craftsman for a change.

Many Thanks
PM, Brackley

Hi Doug,

We are really pleased with what you and your cabinet maker did to bring our heirloom back to life.
You are very professional and very friendly. Many thanks!
Although the clock sounds fairly loud downstairs it didn't disturb us at all upstairs!

Thanks again.
R and K, Stratford on Avon

Dear Mr Stickley,

I enclose my cheque for ... I am thrilled to have the family clock back and restored to such a high standard. 1720 has seen many hours go by, if a clock could talk it would have many tales to tell.

Yours sincerely
Mrs B W

Hi Doug,

Yes the clock is running brilliantly thanks, have not wound it up yet and in all this time it has only gained around a 90 seconds. We can't thank you enough for such a great service, we now have a clock that it is bringing us so much joy. I did not think I would be time watching so much since retiring.

Kind Regards,
Frank

Thank you again for a FANTASTIC job. Delighted with it. ...

Cheers,
Matt.

Dear Mr Stickley,

I would like to say that Mr Stickley has been extremely helpful and supportive and has done a first class job, when he bought the clock movement back I did not recognise it in its new clean state.
The clock is now in excellent working order and keeping good time.
I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone else, both for his excellent workmanship and his very fair attitude.

Best regards
Jean R

Dear Doug,

I would like to personally thank you for the excellent service you provided to me. In view of the problems I initially encountered with trying to get the clock restored your attention to my request for the clock to be brought back to its former glory is very much appreciated.
I would not hesitate to recommend your services in future.

Kind Regards

Dear Doug,

I am delighted with the clock and the work you and the face painter (sorry don't know the professional name!) have done. It is a first class job!! We'll see how the chime goes tonight but I suspect we might have to plaster it. Thank you for sticking to the deadline and fixing it to the wall as well.
I would definitely recommend you and its nice to deal with a true professional. Wow thats enough praise! Best wishes ...

Kindest regards

Hi Doug,

Yes it's sedately ticking onward- just love the sound. The strike is not as loud as carriage clock upstairs, so no sleep disturbance. It's part of the family already!
Thanks for all your hard work and will attempt to prevent cats from dropping mice at it's feet!
Thanks for the reference - have printed it out just to prove he really did exist.

Regards

Pat
