Grandfather Clock Basics

[masia]

Thank you for posting this video, I just obtained a grandfather clock from a dear friend who recently passed away 😥, his brother didn't think that it worked anymore, but it's perfect. Now I know how to properly care for it. ❤ It will be an item I'll cherish for decades.

Legend tells that he is still showing them features and procedures of the clock.

😊Thank You!!! I was gifted a huge beautiful old grandfather clock and I thought it was broken. Followed this video and it is🎵🔔 chiming away 🎵

Thank you so much for posting this. I have learned a lot about my clock just by watching this! So helpful!

hello, grandfather clock experts on you tube are great. I have yet to fix mine though. It has always been 2 hours slow its entire life. My wife's father and grandfather always had problems getting this clock correct. Now it won't chime at the quarter hours or halves. The good news is that the pendulum swings on time and the clock has been running for a few days now.

Yeah I had my parents grandfather clock serviced. Brought it home, pulled weights up, started the pendulum, started setting the time but was going too fast past the 1/4 hr marks to where the chimes would overlap. The clock stopped chiming after that for about an hour but luckily self-reset itself to the correct chimes. I was so relieved!!!

A man with one clock knows what time it is...a man with 2 clocks has no idea

Looks like our 1986 ish clock. We have cables on the weights instead of chains

[Jennlinderman]

Omg, I wanted to know how that story ended!

My grandfather clock runs very good, but it doesn't bell.
Please show me how to make it work.
Thanks so much !

The clock Strikes one hour ahead, how do I fix it?
The weights turn black, how do you clean them?

Hello I have a colonial Grandfather clock made 1983 I noticed the middle weight is the only one to come down the right and left stay up . Also it doesn’t chime or strike what should I do ? By the way it’s wires not chains .

Love your hiding the key message. I'd not trust anyone to take care of my clock because no one else has one that they haven't messed up. (truth)
😂 I DID ask my adult daughter to wind it on a specific day (a day early, just in case ie Tuesday one week and Monday the next week) and if it stopped somehow, then to leave it and NOT touch anything. She watched me and did so without any issues. (she was in her mid 20s at the time).

❓❓❓Help!!
NOW I just wish we could get the thing to work again after moving it with super care, 6 mos ago to the next room, same floor about 12 feet away. Didn't go over carpet or any thresholds as it's continuous laminate floor.
Spent days and hours each of those days, trying to level it so the pendulum will continue to swing and without hitting anything. We are STILL working on it as I write. 😢 How hard can it be to level anything? So frustrating. Any suggestions??? H E L P a Canadian please. 😉 🇨🇦

Who is this guy he's awesome. Is he in FL?

Thanks for the tips. My Howard Miller's manual says to ALWAYS rotate the minute hand COUNTERCLOCKWISE.

I’ve gotten a Tempus Fugit clock I got when my in laws passed last year. A beautiful clock and it was always comforting when I went to their home the past 30 some years. I brought it home, replace the weights in the same order, wound all 3 chains up and started the pendulum. It will not run. The pendulum stops. What could I be doing wrong.
