Description
Restoring Grandfather Clocks by Eric Smith and Brian Smith is a comprehensive guide to repairing and restoring these iconic timepieces. First introduced in the late seventeenth century, grandfather clocks have remained popular due to their rugged movement and clear indication of time. With proper care and maintenance, many grandfather clocks can be restored to working order by inexperienced owners. This book provides detailed instructions on how to clean and service the clock's mechanism, as well as refurbish the dial. The second part of the book focuses on restoration and casework, covering both structural repairs and finishing techniques. The authors illustrate their methods using real-life examples of eight-day and thirty-hour clocks, providing a clear understanding of the process. By following the guidance in this book, owners of dilapidated grandfather clocks can learn how to restore them to life, making them useful and attractive timepieces once again.
