Patreon Free WRT

In tandem with my last post regarding the removal of Google Adsense on this website - I have also decided to fully self fund this site as a gift to the watch repair community of which I’ve been a member of, and have benefited from since being extremely lucky to gain an apprenticeship back in the late 80s. 
 

Well, that means that I have also closed down my Patreon account - or, to be clear, stopped all future transactions on my Patreon account and this is with immediate and permanent effect. 
 

not to mention, but I will, I really really do appreciate the contribution all my patreon and PayPal supporters have provided over the years, you guys have been absolutely awesome and helped to keep this forum alive and available for those who might not be able to afford the payments. 
 

again, from the bottom of my heart thank you.

Wow!  What a great gift!  You, Mark, has been a blessing to the watch repair community and has inspired a lot of watchmakers and hobbyists, including me.

More power to you!

Thanks Joel.

On can only concur with Joel’s comments, where else can you get such inspiration and help.    A magnanimous gesture indeed.       Thank you

I have only been a member for six years & I have found this a very friendly forum although I don’t have anything to do with watches not because I don’t like watches but because I have gout in both hands so my dexterity isn’t very good, I restore torsion clocks & occasionally other antique clocks also at 72 my eyes are not what they used to be, that is why I only post on the clock forum & the lathe forum mostly .

As others have said Mark it is much appreciated that  you are willing & able to do this.

very many Thanks
