Inside story on grandfather clock kits on sale
* A pendulum clock always need to be set up on an even level surface. This sounds elementary but it is crucial.
When setting the grandfather clock besides the wall you may see that the rug thickness is not the same everywhere. Or it may be true that the floor itself is uneven at the wall.
If the case leans to one side or the other you will need to bring it back to vertical.
* Clock Pendulums have front and back sides that are different. The pendulums front is usually the the side that is flat.
The grandfather clock pendulum should stay without touching any part of the case. Should it collide with the walls perhaps it means that that the case is not vertical.
* The weight sets that actuate the mechanism should be free of the pendulum. They should collide with the pendulum or the sides of the clock as they descend.
* When you set the pendulum swinging check it out for a constant ticking sound. The sounds should be evenly spaced.
If it is not regular in all likelihood it is because the clock case is not exactly vertical. Experiment a bit and make required changes.
* When modifying the time avoid turning the hands of your clock back further than a few minutes. And certainly never shift the clock hands towards the back across the twelve mark.
It is okay to turn the hands forwards. When shifting over the twelve o clock mark hold on till the grandfather clock has finished striking the bell at the hour mark before moving on.
* If your antique clock runs too fast or too slow decrease or increase the pendulums length.
Step up the length to slacken the pace of the clock. Trim back the pendulum length to to speed up the clock.
