GF and I rescued one of your beautiful clocks from the trash and put it back together. She has it working, just need some adjustments. Thank you for this video!
Can't believe how the price has gone up on these 😊...purchased mine in 2005 today its selling for 6,500 on sale from over 8 grand...still looking for my receipt but I know I didn't pay anywhere near these prices.
If you turn the pendulum nut to the right, so the pendulum moves up the clock will run faster, if you turn the nut to the left the pendulum will go down and the clock will run slower.
He did something you should never do. You would never move the minute hand by using your finger at the end of the hand. It could bend it. Always move the minute hand with two fingers more towards the middle.
So our next full moon is on the 17 of Oct, and this is the 28th of Sept, so I'm going back 20 days... if I understand correctly, I would be at 29 1/2, which is the very end of the dial on the right?
Hi dear, I just got a GP clock from the Antique Store. The clock is working, but after three hours, it stops working. I would appreciate any advice? Thanks
Hello. I am working on a Pearl grandfather clock with my handicapable son. We're doing it as a project together. It looks exactly like the clock that is being shown first in this video. When I got my son this clock there was no weights or key. I didn't realize how important thatthe weights were . But my son and I spent many hours Dusting, cleaning and polishing this clock. My question is, how do you know what weights belong to the grandfather clock. Where to buy them? And, where is the identification numbers located on grandfather clocks? I searched everywhere and couldn't find anything. Any information is greatly appreciated. Ty
Wrong. If the clock movement has a snail gear, which this one does, you can absolutely set the time going backwards. If the clock was an antique with a count wheel, then you do not go backwards. My source for my info? I’m a clocksmith.
@@Metasceticfor most people, the advice "just turn it backwards" is bad advice, because most people don't know the difference between those. It is bad advice without first clarifying what sort of mechanism is at play. A clocksmith should know that. (You seem like a real delight, by the way...)
@@Metasceticthis reminds me of possibly the greatest comedy line in TV history: “Who are you. And how did you get in here?” “I’m a locksmith. And…I’m a locksmith.”
recently moved my parents Howard Miller Grandfather clock to our house. I can't keep the pendulum running. I start it and after 5 to 7 seconds it always stops. Any suggestions?
I purchased a house with a Mason Howard Miller grandfather clock. I followed directions but can’t get it to operate. It’s level but not sure what else to do. Can’t get it to swing or do anything and it’s in nice shape.
my pendulum stops after 5 seconds or so. Just recently moved it from my parents house where it hasn't ran in a couple of years. Did you get yours working? If so, any suggestions for me?

One of my weight keep coming down I'm trying to adjust the back but I cannot tell me
@@gloriawright1799 Wish I could help but mine has never had that issue...please let us know when you find a fix.

hi does the clock chimes in the night? if yes, is there a way to adjust it to chime like from 5am to 10pm?
YES NEW CLOCKS MINE 7 YEARS OLD IT HAS A NIGHT SHUT OFF FROM 10 PM TO 7 AM AT 7:15 IT STARTS WITH A 1/4 CHIME
These clocks scare me
Which turn way slows the clock and which turn speeds up the clock?
See my post below.
I'm confused by this. the winders and minute hand only rotate clockwise, on my HW clock. neither will rotate counter...
So our next full moon is on the 17 of Oct, and this is the 28th of Sept, so I'm going back 20 days... if I understand correctly, I would be at 29 1/2, which is the very end of the dial on the right?
TY!
The weights are just decorative and it has two holes to wind up. I wound the clock and still not working. What next?
How long should a person wait, after adjusting pendulum, before making further adjustments?
24hours.
Hi sir I am a Sri Lankan watchmaker Is it possible for me to get some parts of that watch? The clock is about four or five

No! Don’t go backwards with the hands when setting time. Always forwards.
Wrong.
If the clock movement has a snail gear, which this one does, you can absolutely set the time going backwards.
If the clock was an antique with a count wheel, then you do not go backwards.

This is the manufacturer of the clocks you moron
@@Metascetic I’m sorry, but did you say you were a cocksmith?! How is that relevant?

CHECK TO SEE IF ITS LEVEL
Here is a suggestion. The clock must to be as close to perfectly level side to side and front to back, and of course must be wound.
Clean and oil it
