Continued Professional Development
Horological Author
Early in his clockmaking career, Scott was approached to write a beginner’s book on clockmaking. The book was subsequently published and has received excellent customer reviews.
Wheel Cutting
Scott was awarded a grant from the Heritage Crafts Foundation to equip the workshop for wheel cutting. The workshop has continued to develop its wheel-cutting equipment and capabilities, producing gears for clockmakers and passing those skills on to others in the trade.
BHI Tutor
Scott teaches small components courses at Upton Hall for the British Horological Institute. Teaching requires the continued study and practice of different workshop techniques as well as the ability to demonstrate them clearly to students.
BHI Examiner
Scott also serves as an examiner for the British Horological Institute, contributing to the assessment of the next generation of clockmakers.
