The story about illustrateguide to building grandfather clocks
* A grandfather clock must be placed on a level floor or surface. This is simple but it is also very important.
When adjusting its position adjacent to the wall you might discover that the carpet or other covering is uneven. Or possibly the flooring lacks uniformity next to the wall.
If the case is standing at a slight angle and does not stand vertical it is important to alter the surface so that it stands vertical.
* Longcase Clock Pendulums have a distinguishable front side. The pendulum face is generally the the flat and polished face.
The pendulum and bob remain free of the sides of the case. Should it make contact with the case it could mean that the clock leans to one side.
* The arrangement of weights that propel the clock should be free of obstructions. They should not come into contact with the pendulum or the casing as they descend.
* When you get the pendulum going listen for a constant ticking sound. The sound should be occuring regularly.
If it is not regular it could be because the clock is not standing vertically. Try to level the surface and make necessary adjustments.
* When changing the time do not shift the hands of your clock rearwards further than just a few minutes. And never move the hands towards the back across the twelve mark.
It is alright to turn the hands forwards. When moving them past the number twelve hold on until your clock is done with striking the bell at the hour mark before carrying on.
* If your antique clock runs slow or fast modify the length of the pendulum arrangement.
Increase the length to reduce the clocks speed. Decrease the length of the pendulum to to quicken the clock.
If you face difficulties in setting up the long case clock request the dealer to set it up. Savor the air of elegance your longcase clock imparts to your living room!
