Grandfather clock kits can be found on the internet, or perhaps in a local clock kit shop. Depending on where you live, this may not be a possibility, and you may have to resort to buying a clock kit online. No worries about that though, there are tons of places online where you can find a grandfather clock kit.
A couple of things you should keep in mind before you buy a clock kit though are the amount of money you are willing to spend, and what you want the clock kit to look like. Keep in mind that you will have to pay for shipping as well. The clock kits come with very good instructions in most cases, and don’t require a lot of time to put them together.
I’ve found a few of the better grandfather clock kits that are available online right now. Here’s a brief description of each of them.
The Churchill Triple-Chime Grandfather Clock Kit in Cherry is a very nice, smart looking grandfather clock. It’s priced at $1,990, so not the most expensive clock, but also not the cheapest. You can add luxury to any home with this classic straight-waisted case, enhanced with swan neck pediment, turned finial and fluted columns. Glass sides let you view the brass lyre pendulum and weights. Each kit includes antique brass hinges, polished brass key plate, movement, dial, pendulum and weights.
If you’re just looking for something small and very inexpensive, I found the Grandfather Desk Clock Kit, which is only $29.99. Believe it or not, this little gem is just 3 1/4″W x 11 1/4″H x 1 7/8″D. It is made entirely from 1/8″ thick pre-cut Baltic birch. It holds one of our 1 7/16″ diameter clock inserts (included with kit) and attracts lots of attention. This would be perfect for any desk or for a nice decoration in the home or office.
Lastly, we have the The Harrington Grandfather Kit, which is priced at an affordable $1,1900. Proudly named for its designer, John Cooper-Klockit’s New Product Development Manager, The Cooper Collection is our brand new line of exclusive grandfather clock kits that can be customized!Purchase everything separately-wood, grandfather clock movement, dial, pendulum, weight shell set, and glass. The Cooper Collection blends solid hardwood construction with the most innovative clock movement mounting system ever designed making each clock movement incredibly easy to install and maintain.
So there you go, some grandfather clock kits to wet the appetite and get you started in the right direction. Clock kits are all over the internet. This site has some good places to start, or try Amazon.
