Clock Plans Gallery. Please note that the clock plans on this page can only be ordered via the appropriate Sets - Options & Prices page. We do not sell them separately!
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 plans 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.

This plan is for experienced case builders as it only provides dimensions and a few sections.
To use pendulums with shorter lengths, the builder will need to reduce the height of the case and then re-calculate all other sizes in proportion to the new height.

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.

Plan 008 -- French Style Floor Clock
Enlarge | The Orleans floor clock evokes the era of 19th century France when the absolutism of the monarchy gave to the rise of the Citizen King, Louis Philippe (1830-48), whose rule saw the nation prosper and the ascendancy of the middle class.
In furniture, the most striking elements of the Louis Philippe style are the very clean, simple lines and wide ogee. Feet and brackets terminate in scrolls, and hardware was used sparingly. All these element were incorporated in this timeless design.
The "Orleans" model shows a graceful play of straight and curved lines. The crown moulding, which echoes the base, gently swoops toward the centre, with the upper section of the door echoing it, while below, the inside bottom door shape reflects this curve.
Height 2134mm, Width 685mm, Depth 330mm. (Kieninger movement installation drawing included).
