I have some drawings for an Eli Terry tall case clock by Carlyle Lynch. Circa 1795. This clock is in the clock and watch museum in Bristol, CT. The drawings do not specify what size clock face . Never built a clock before. Is anyone familiar with these plans.

Ohiobob,
I don't know anything about the clock you mentioned. However, I remember advice I was given when building a shaker clock which might be pertinent. 'Get your face first and build to that dimension'
I'm in the process of building a grandfather clock as well. You should start with the movement you are going to put in to the clock. If you are buying a new movement, the movement will dictate what dial you should use, unless of course you want to get in to metal working. The movement will also dictate the depth and width of the clock case.
