Installation of Clocks

​

During the installation of PMA's Early American Art galleries, I assisted in moving and installing six tall case clocks, which involved:

​

• Removing finials and bonnets

​

• Removing weights and pendulum

​

• Winding weight strings

​

• Removing works and placing them on custom-made cradles

​

• Vacuuming case, bonnet, and works

​

• Reinstalling all elements in new location

​

• Attaching clock case to plywood gallery wall substrate using wood screws with leather washers through existing holes in the case

​

• Fabricating custom mounts from plywood to secure tall case clocks to gallery walls in corner installations
