    Great.

    My grandfather was a cabinetry guy/finishing carpenter… who for a hobby would build grandfather’s clock.

    Now I have that image in my head.

    Okay so I got curious and according to wikipedia:

    “The Oxford English Dictionary states that the popular 1876 song My Grandfather’s Clock is responsible for the common name “grandfather clock” being applied to the longcase clock.”
