CLOCK MAKERS Clock Plans Gallery. Please Note that parts on this page are only available by internet order - We will provide telephone or e-mail advice to clock makers but we cannot entertain visitors.
Each of the Clock Plans illustrated on this page is accompanied by a list of compatible Movement, Dial and Pendulum Sets.
The level of skill required to build a clock cabinet will vary according to the complexity of the design and you may need to make adjustments to some plan dimensions in order to fit the selected movement and dial. Building a clock provides great satisfaction and can also provide very therapeutic benefits.
You will find the clock plan on the Options and Prices page of the selected Set.
When you have chosen a clock design, please click on the link and you will be presented with a Gallery of compatible Movement, Dial and Pendulum sets.
Please note that we do not sell plans separately but if you wish to build the clock cabinet prior to purchasing the working parts you can order any of the Kieninger Movement Sets with a deposit, we will then send you the Cabinet Construction Plans together with the corresponding Kieninger movement dimensioned drawing.
Finally, Frank will always provide telephone or e-mail support, to assist you when you are installing and commissioning your movement etc.

Plan 043 -- School House Clock
Plan 012 -- Grand Daughter Clock. Drawing includes Arched Dial and Square Dial alternatives.
Plan 003 -- Granddaughter Clock
Plan 025 -- Grand Daughter Clock
Enlarge | American Grand Daughter Clock. Circa 1750. Height 1510mm Width 362mm, Depth 212mm
This design is based on a clock by Thomas Claggett, Newport, USA circa 1725/1750.
The plan consist of only two sheets.
Sheet one is an outline drawing showing only the principal dimensions so a builder will need to decide how to size all panels and jointing methods but we think biscuit jointing would be perfect.
Sheet two shows all sections and mouldings with dimensions.
We have a Kieninger Dial that fits the RWS movement; it is 200mm square with a moon arch 75mm radius at that top making the total heath 275mm. The original dial door will need to be modified to accommodate this dial.
As the cabinet is very narrow, please order pendulum 083 and we will supply a carbon fibre pendulum shaft with a brass cylindrical bob.
