Book Synopsis Restoring Grandfather Clocks by : Eric Smith
Download or read book Restoring Grandfather Clocks written by Eric Smith and published by The Crowood Press. This book was released on 1995-03-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book Synopsis Clock Repairs for Beginners by : Kelly Bryan
Download or read book Clock Repairs for Beginners written by Kelly Bryan and published by BookRix. This book was released on 2023-01-31 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available in a variety of styles, shapes and colors, quartz wall clocks make an affordable time-keeping option for any room in the home or office. Like any mechanical operation, however, they aren't exempt from the occasional need for repair, which can easily be done with a little knowledge and patience. The first and easiest problem to fix is restoring the clock's battery power, which is done by removing the battery from the back of the clock and replacing it with a fresh one. If the battery contact points – those little metal tabs inside the terminal – are corroded, you can usually clean them by first removing any loose corrosion with a moist paper towel before using a small bit of sandpaper to exfoliate any additional material from the contacts. In this guide "clock repair for beginners", I will be teaching you all you need to know about repair and maintenance of different kinds of wrist watches from quartz, electrical, mechanical and antique clocks.
