Locating how to make grandfather clock crown trim
* A grandfather clock should always be placed on a plane surface that is even. This is basic but it of great importance.
When positioning it flush against the wall you may observe that the floor carpeting thickness is not uniform. Or it may be that the floor itself is at a different height in the vicinity of the wall.
If the case tends to lean towards any side you must first even it out.
* The Pendulums On Clocks have a distinguishable front side. The front end is usually the the flat highly polished side.
The pendulum of the grandfather clock remain free of the sides of the case. Should it touch the case it may mean that the tower leans to a side.
* The arrangement of weights that are the clocks power supply should be free of obstructions. They should impinge on the pendulum or the clocks sides when they drop.
* When you set off the pendulum swinging check it out for a steady tick sound. The sounds should be unvarying.
If it is not regular it might be because the clock leans away from vertical. Try to make the case stand right and make needed readjustments.
* When correcting the time avoid shifting the hands of the longcase clock back more than a few minutes. And certainly never move the clock hands backwards over the number twelve.
It is fine to move the clock hands forwards. When moving them past the mid day mark wait until your clock has finished sounding the hour before moving on.
* If the grandfather clock falls behind time modify the length of the pendulum arrangement.
Lengthen the pendulum to pare down the speed of the clock. Do the opposite to to speed up the clock.
