Grandfather Clock mechanism holder

[Folkvisor]

Does anyone have any plans for building a stand for a grandfather clock movement? I could probably put something together but if there are plans for a stand with measurements, etc it would save some time.

Thank you

This is what I used. I had many of these and there cheap to make.

A piece of wood with a hole drilled near the top, hang it on a large screw that has been screwed into the wall and two L shaped brackets screwed to the wood. Movement fitted to the seat board. Seat board rests across both L shaped brackets, make sure the brackets are big enough so the pendulum can be fitted and is free to swing. You need to make sure the wood does not move when winding the single weight. I used to drive a nail into the wall to stop it moving after making sure it was level.

Thank you for this.

For some reason I never thought of simply hanging it on the wall.
