THE STORY OF A RECENT ENGRAVING JOB

It started with an email asking whether Valerie could
engrave some wording and a design on to a circular plate
that would then be fitted to clock. Images were attached of
the plate and the type of design that the customer was after.

She said “Yes, that shouldn't be a problem.”

A few days later the customer brought the plate in along with
a slightly clearer image of a typical antique clock face.

The plate was left with us while Valerie did an internet search for a
suitable wreath image that could be converted for use in
our engraving program.

When she found one she was happy with Valerie emailed the
artwork to the customer for approval.

He said “That's exactly what I need, please go ahead.”

As Valerie had hoped, the diamond engraving tool skimmed off just
enough of the silver finish to show the brass underneath
allowing the design to really stand out.

I'm happy to say that the customer was very pleased with it and has said that he will recommend us to other clock restorers, which is always a good thing to hear.

Truly sorry for any inconvenience but, following the government announcement today and the fact that the safety screen that has just been delivered is incorrect, we will not be opening again until June 15th after all.

GOOD NEWS!

Years of experience in the watch battery business has taught us that the change to and from BST is enough to make an already failing battery give up the ghost all together. With that in mind I now have a small supply of common watch batteries, and a few basic tools at my house.
So, if you're a key worker in or around Bordon & Whitehill and the watch you need for work has just stopped please let me know and we'll sort out the most convenient drop off and collection time.
I have a few car remote batteries here too.

Following the Prime Minister's announcement yesterday evening we are now closed for at least three weeks.
Stay safe and we'll see you on the other side.

23/03/2020

Our revised shop opening hours are
Monday to Friday 9am - 5pm, Saturday 9am - 4pm.
Closed for lunch 1.00 - 1.30pm

23/03/2020

We're going to keep Forest Cobbler open for as long as we can.

So, if you have shoes that need repairing, keys that need cutting or batteries that need replacing now is the time to get them done.

If we do have to close the shop then we will look at the possibility of still offering these services albeit under rigorous restrictions.

Stay safe.
