Mantel Clocks

Have you done an internet search? There are several books on clock construction and various woodworking magazines have plans listed on their sites. Pinterest shows a lot of leads to check out.

One factor you need to consider before you start the construction is what type of movement you want. A quartz movement is inexpensive, $10 to $100, and only needs a battery change about once a year. A mechanical movement prices start at about $50+ can be a bit fussy to set up depending on the type. The arrangement of the Interior space for the movement is critical so you need to acquire the movement before starting the construction. It needs to wound weekly (some daily) and should be cleaned and oiled every 3 to 5 years although most people don’t do that unless the clock stops working.
