My retirement activities. Summer is devoted to a backyard landscape of a fish and turtle pond made from concrete. Use of high performance concrete in the development of landscape elements in the form of faux or fake rock and faux bois (fake wood) concrete benches, concrete faux rock fence and concrete faux bois garden bridge. Also covered are the pond inhabitants of fish, turtles and frogs, as well as the wildlife that inhabits and visits the backyard. Winter activities are shown in my hobby of antique clock repair, showing maintenance, disassembly, rebushing, pivot polishing and replacement, machining new parts, use of clock repair tools and lathe, assembling movements, clock case restoration and repair. Cuckoo clocks are a specialty.
