What you must find out about project plans for making a pendulum clock
* Grandfather clocks must stand on a plane horizontal surface. This sounds uncomplicated but it is also very important.
When positiioning the grandfather clock flush against the wall you may find out that the floor covering is not uniform in thickness. Or perhaps the floor itself is at a different height in the vicinity of the wall.
If the case tends to tilt in any direction you should compensate for it.
* The Pendulums On Clocks have a distinct front side. The front end in most cases is the the flat highly polished side.
The pendulum of the grandfather clock be free of all the sides of the case. If it collides with the case perhaps it means that the case stands at an angle.
* The assembly of weights that supply the clock with power should stand obstruction free. They should not touch the pendulum or the sides of the clock casing as they come down.
* When you start up the pendulum listen carefully for a steady ticking sound. The ticking sounds should be stable and regular.
If it is not even it is perhaps because the case tilts to one side. Try straightening out the case and adjust as needed.
* When changing the time do not turn the hands backwards further than just a few minutes. Never run the clock hands rearwards across the twelve mark.
You are safe in moving the hands of the clock forward. When running them over the twelve mark hold back until the grandfather clock is done with sounding the hour before you continue.
* If your clock goes too fast modify the linear dimensions of the pendulum.
Make it longer to cut back on the speed. Reduce the pendulum length to to accelerate the clock.
