Some repairs are easier to show than to describe. For our first video episode, clockmaker Basil Ardenwood brings a mantel clock to the bench and takes the escapement apart under a macro lens.

This episode's front matter is written in TOML, to show that both YAML and TOML front matter work.

We talk about the dim-bulb tester, a simple series lamp that limits current the first time an old set is powered up, and why patience is the most important tool on the bench.
