Restoring Grandfather Clocks
Author: Eric Smith
Publisher: Robert Hale
ISBN: 9780719802706
Category : Clocks and watches
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"The grandfather clock, an entirely new kind of furniture, first appeared in the late seventeenth century. From then on, with its long case to protect pendulum and weights, its rugged movement and large, clear indication of time, it has been a success story right up to the present day. Virtually none of these clocks is beyond repair and often the work required is within the scope of inexperienced owners. This is the first full-length book to cover repair and restoration of these attractive and often valuable antiques, including their casework. The first part outlines how to clean and service the clock 'works' and also how to refurbish the dial, while in the second part restoration or casework, both structural repairs and finishing, is considered. The illustrations are of two actual clocks (one eight-day and one thirty-hour) and work proceeding on them. The last part of the book sketches common variations from these particular examples. Armed with this book and appropriate tools (for work on both movement and case), the owner of a dilapidated grandfather clock will be encouraged and given the know-how to restore it to life as a useful and attractive clock and a prized possession."--Wheelers.co.nz.

Book Description
High school juniors Tosh, Chani, Garrison, and Tucker are put together for a school project. Unlikely acquaintances with vast differences, they struggle to agree on their project when an old, seemingly normal grandfather clock opens its door and leads the teens into an unknown land where Unicorns make the laws and Sorcerers use lightning. With time to kill and no way home, the four classmates travel around this new world called Chyria and meet a variety of people: a charming young Knight named Jehan; Maverick, a Fairy who sparkles in more way than one; a conceited Merman called Marsh; Jehan's cautious friend, Ansiau, and many more, including a few Unicorns. Upon meeting these new people, the kids get sucked into solving the problem behind a mysterious string of kidnappings, landing them in a situation involved with a spike-covered dragon, a flood, cages, and some very angry creatures. Along the way, they discover more about the hidden world, and themselves, learning they are not who they think they are.
