Restoring Grandfather Clocks (Hardcover, Reprinted edition)

The grandfather clock, an entirely new kind of furniture, first
appeared in the late seventeenth century. From then on, with its
long case to protect pendulum and weights, its rugged movement and
large, clear indication of time, it has been a success story right
up to the present day. Virtually none of these clocks is beyond
repair and often the work required is within the scope of
inexperienced owners. This is the first full-length book to cover
repair and restoration of these attractive and often valuable
antiques, including their casework. The first part outlines how to
clean and service the clock 'works' and also how to refurbish the
dial, while in the second part restoration or casework, both
structural repairs and finishing, is considered. The illustrations
are of two actual clocks (one eight-day and one thirty-hour) and
work proceeding on them. The last part of the book sketches common
variations from these particular examples. Armed with this book and
appropriate tools (for work on both movement and case), the owner
of a dilapidated grandfather clock will be encouraged and given the
know-how to restore it to life as a useful and attractive clock and
a prized possession.
