Want To Make Replica Antique Grandfather Clocks?
Are you on the trail of antique grandfather clocks? You might have come across items with proud provenances. However, these will burn your pockets. The next best thing is to make your own grandfather clocks as a hobby or as an entrepreneur. You can make them in the tradition of the old masters in the clockmaking industry.
The Early Clockmakers
The early clockmakers of America did not make a good living out of the trade because most of the clocks were imported from Holland and England. To survive, they also provided services as gunsmiths and locksmiths. Also not all households had tall clocks in their homes because these were expensive, so they preferred smaller, but cheaper clocks. The war also affected the economy and few people could afford what are now considered antique grandfather clocks.
The long clocks, as the grandfather clocks were called then, became popular when a young Quaker arrived in America and founded a lucrative clockmaking trade. From thereon, the long stately clocks became permanent fixtures in several homes. The clocks would later earn the name grandfather clocks after the composition of the 1876 song "My Grandfather's Clock" by Henry C. Work. By this time, grandfather clocks were worth their weight in gold.
Tools of the Trade
Making replica antique grandfather clocks is an interesting hobby and can be a lucrative business once you've mastered the intricate technical aspects of clockmaking. There are several DIY books available in bookstores and online bookshops to help jumpstart your hobby. Knowledge of the background of clockmaking and an acquaintance with the history of long case clocks are useful before you start out your hobby or business.
Unless you already have the deftness of hand in carpentry, making those replica antique grandfather clocks will be difficult. As a tyro, you have to start from ground zero and work on simple models before attempting intricate designs. Start with the basic tools to set up your hobby: power tools, routers and accessories, clamps and hand tools, and wood burning tools.
A workbench and a separate working area is a basic requirement for your hobby or fledgling business. You can hasten things up by hiring experienced workers. If your interest is purely a hobby, expect some time before you can make your own replica of the grandfather clock.
Models For Reproductions
For your antique grandfather clocks, look up the different models of prestigious clockmakers - Howard Miller, Ridgeway, and Henstchel. Here are some popular reproductions from these clockmakers:
The Adams from Howard Miller is a long clock crafted along the tradition of fine artisanship, excellent quality, and design. The carved rossetes and split finial or decorative crown at the top is made of ash burl. The dial of The Adams is adorned with Arabic numerals and a well-designed moon phase detailed with the famed Presidential Collection hemispheres. The pendulum is made from brass and is outfitted with a center disk to match the dial and the weight shells. The mechanisms include nighttime shut off and a cable-driven three chime movement.
The Salem by Ridgeway has a swan neck split pediment, features a chain-driven movement that sounds the Westminster chimes, and a sound shut-off system for your convenience.
Henstchel Orleans showcases nickel roman dial, pendulum, and shells. It also features a beveled glass door and a flagship triple chime that comes with an auto night shut-off feature.
These reproductions of grandfather clocks are stunning pieces any home or office would be proud to display. So if you're going into the hobby or the business, how about getting one item for your own pleasure. This way you can get the feel and spirit of the antique grandfather clocks.

Frequently Asked Questions...
What should I put in my antique liqueur decanters?
I got around 50 awesome clear glass liqueur decanters at a auction. Some are very tall and others tall and some short etc (various sizes) the openings range from around a quarter or less. And sure I can add food color to a few, but I'm not placing them anyplace where the light would shine through them, so I was thinking I should put other things inside them besides water, colored rocks and sea shells. And do have a few ideas but 50 ideas? Nope! So I thought I'd write here since I'm sure other people would have some pretty cool ideas. I don't plan on drilling a hole in the bottom unless the idea would be worth turning a antique into something not worth much after wards. Thanks ahead of time for you unique, fun, interesting, or educational ideas!
Answer:
I would think that anything that would fit might look interesting. If they're different shapes and sizes, then you can experiment with trying various fillings in several bottles to see what you prefer. See if you can come up with a theme or at least a sort of a family for a group of them and maybe have it represent something about you. For example, if you're a teacher, fill one with erasers, another with pencil or chalk pieces, and a third with little stars or apples that you could probably find at a good hobby or craft store. Your individual career, interests, or preferences should give you a bunch of areas to focus on, enough to create a themed grouping. It might also be fun to destroy or shred something to see if people can guess what it was, like a cassette player, a piece of clothing, or an old computer.
Candy, like Skittles or M & M's (if you get enthused, you could separate them out into individual colors). Small hardware, like nuts and bolts, rivets, or nails, both large and small. BB's, beads, different types of seeds or grain, a variety of minerals or ores, like coal, red lava rock, or small river rocks. Clear and colored marbles, coins, or buttons. Electrical fittings, like wire nuts, which come in different colors to denote different sizes. Copper plumbing fittings would probably fit and will develop a patina over time. Fake or dried flowers or other plants, small Christmas tree ornaments, Scrabble tiles, or other game pieces. Jigsaw puzzle pieces, dice, tokens, hotels and houses, or game money. Aquarium rocks come in a bunch of odd colors as does glass and it might be interesting to see it all broken up in another bottle (obviously, be really careful). A theater company I used to work for would probably fill at least one of them with Barbie doll parts (don't ask - but something like that might be fun for Halloween).
Think of any store you go into and there's probably a bunch of things that would fit and be interesting there. You don't have to fill them all today, so take your time and find things that are visually appealing while communicating something about yourself. Most of the suggestions above are relatively inexpensive, but I think part of the fun is in the search itself for not just things to fill the bottles, but things that are significant to you and can connect into some type of bigger picture. And finding stuff that's affordable adds another dimension to the search.
I'm out of time, or I'd probably spend the rest of the day thinking of stuff to fill your bottles with. It sounds like a fun project and I hope you have a lot of fun with it.
