The scoop about make a simple pendulum clock
* A longcase clock must always be on a level floor or surface. This appears to be very elementary but it of great importance.
When positiioning the grandfather clock flush next to the wall you might perhaps find out that the floor covering thickness is irregular. Or maybe the flooring lacks uniformity at the wall.
If the clock is leaning towards one direction you will need to alter the surface so that it stands vertical.
* Grandfather Clock Pendulums have distinguishable front and reverse sides. The front face is generally the the flat face.
The grandfather clock pendulum should stay without touching any part of the case. If it collides with the case perhaps it means that the clock tower lists.
* The set of weights that propel the clock should be free of the pendulum. They should collide with the pendulum or any part of the casing as they fall.
* When you start the pendulum in motion listen for a constant ticking sound. The ticking sounds should be evenly spaced.
If it is not steady in all probability it is because the surface is not level. Do some experimentation and make required changes.
* When adjusting time do not turn the hands of the longcase clock rearwards further than a few minutes. And certainly never move them towards the back over the twelve mark.
You can safely turn the hands forwards. When running them over the mid day mark pause until the clock has finished sounding the hour chime before you proceed further.
* If your longcase clock falls behind time modify the length of the pendulum.
Step up the length to lessen the clocks speed. Do the opposite to have the clock pick up pace.
