Facts about show how to build grandfather clocks
* Grandfather clocks should always be placed on a plane surface that is even. This is a simple point but it is vitally important.
When setting the longcase clock adjacent to the wall you may ascertain that the surfacing or carpet is not evenly thick. Or possibly the flooring lacks evenness where it meets the wall.
If the case tends to lean towards one direction or the other you will have to get it standing vertically.
* Clock Pendulums have different front and back sides. The face of the pendulum is usually the the side that is flat.
The clock pendulum be free of all the sides of the case. Should it make contact with the case it could mean that the tower leans to a side.
* The arrangement of weights that energize the clock should be free of obstructions. They should not be touching the pendulum or any part of the casing or mechanism during their descent.
* When you start the pendulum in motion check it out for a constant ticking sound. The beat should be of fixed interval.
If the sound is not regular in all probability it is because the clock is not standing vertically. Try creating a level surface and make required adjustments.
* When you modify the time avoid turning your clocks hands back further than a few minutes. Dont ever move the clock hands backwards beyond the mid day mark.
It is alright to shift the clock hands forward. When running them past the mid night mark hold back till the grandfather clock has completed striking the hour before you proceed further.
* If your longcase clock gains or loses time vary the pendulums length.
Increase the length to lessen the clocks speed. Reduce the pendulum length to to make the clock go more quickly.
