Save Money By Making Cheap Grandfather Clocks

By Stacey Massey


Homeowners who want to add a touch of classic charm often choose to include beautifully crafted clocks. While they do result in beauty and elegance many of them, at retail prices, are just too expensive. Consumers, however, needn't spend a fortune on retail when there are ways to purchase cheap grandfather clocks.

Some furniture companies and individual websites offer the ability to purchase kits. These kits are ready for assembly with wood pieces already cut. Wood pieces have also already been sanded and are ready to be put together. Kits also include all hardware needed, and include door locks, key plates, hinges, glass retainers, leg levelers, and grill clothes. Also in the package are assembly fasteners, glue, drill bits and sandpaper. Assembly instruction sheets and illustration booklets are included.

Options for mechanical movement, including pendulum, dial, and weight shell set may not always be included in kits. Some companies will require these be purchased separately. Make to to find out what the kit includes, as different ones will offer a variety of things.

Some will also offer online guidance and step by step video instruction of how to put the clock purchased together. For those that aren't handy, it is also possible to hire a handyman to do this work for you. A myriad of handyman services can found in local phone books.

Prices for kits will vary dependent on style and type of wood chosen. Some will be very inexpensive to moderately priced, but will offer excellent savings when compared to retail prices. Achieving your dream clock is all possible with a little extra work.

Consumers should keep in mind, however, that these will take time to assemble as they come with many parts and steps to installing them. Time and effort should always be taken into consideration when deciding on purchasing options. Do research and understand the procedure before ordering a kit.

If assembly seems too difficult, simply opting for a different kind of clock is also an option. An elegant mantle or wall clock are good selections. An additional option is to find a local craftsman who will make the wooden floor clock. This will result in substantial savings compared to retail and a better piece of furniture.

Another option to think is making it yourself. For those with an art for woodworking, cutting the pieces might not be the difficult task it would be to others. With a few design skills and ability to measure and use woodworking tools properly, ending up with an artistic and elegant work is sure to be the result.

Find a good guide and pattern for making grandfather clocks. Research the mechanism and parts needed. It is important to choose pendulums and beveled glass that go with the overall design.

Beveled glass and equipment for stenciling can also be purchased, or given to local woodworkers to do. With beveled glass there is also great variety and great opportunity for customization. No matter what method consumers choose they can find ways of obtaining cheap grandfather clocks.
