Inside information on materials to make a pendulum clock
* A grandfather clock should always stand on a plane surface that is even. This is a simple point but it is vitally important.
When placing the clock flush next to the wall you may discover that the floor carpeting thickness is not uniform. Or it is possible that the the floor is not uniform next to the wall.
If the clock tilts in one direction or the other you have to correct it.
* The Pendulums On Clocks have a distinct front side. The front side is commonly the the polished face.
The pendulum and bob must swing free of the walls of the case. If it makes contact with the case walls maybe it means that the clock lists towards one side.
* The set of weights that power the mechanism should be free of obstructions. They should impact upon the pendulum or the clock casing when they fall.
* When you get the pendulum going listen carefully for a steady tick sound. The beat should be stable and regular.
If you hear an irregular sound it could be because the clock is not placed on a level surface. Try to level the surface and make required adjustments.
* When altering the time do not shift your clocks hands backwards by more than a few minutes. Do not ever turn them back over the mid day mark.
It is ok to move the hands forwards. When moving over the twelve o clock mark hold back till your longcase clock is done with striking the bell at the hour mark before you carry on.
* If the grandfather clock loses or gains time vary the pendulums length.
Step up the length to slow down the pace. Do the opposite to to quicken the pace.
