Hi, ich bin Peter.
Gelernt habe ich Feinmechaniker bei meinem Vater.
Er hat mir die Liebe zur feinen Mechanik ins Herz gelegt. Nun bin ich 75 Jahre alt . Uhrmacher wollte ich werden. War mein Traum und ist es bis heute.
Doch eines Tages sah ich sie auf you tube. Mein Herz hat sich sofort geöffnet. Ihre Arbeit , Geduld und Gefühl für feine Mechanik bewundere ich sehr.
Als ich 5 Jahre alt war durfte ich , auf der kleinen Lorch vom Papa schöne Schmierlochabdeckungen drehen.
Naja die Griffkugel war noch nicht perfekt. Aber die Stiftseite hat gut in die Schmierlöcher gepasst. Papa hat alle 15 Stück an seinen selbst gebauten Feinmechanikmaschinen eingesetzt.
Heute bin ich dankbar dafür, dass sie , als deutscher Uhrmacher , sich die Mühe machen und so ausführlich und gut verständlich zeigen was es bedeutet Uhrmacher zu sein.
Ich hoffe noch mehr von ihnen zu sehen.
Herzlichen Dank

[@sereyvathlorn7694]

I am also doing my balance staff project too (I’m a watchmaking student) 😊. I like your videos, however, I find it better to turn the balance staff in between center. Great content! Keep it up!!! ありがとうございます

[@tanakayawatch]

Thanks for watching.
It’s one of the process and to different to traditional books.
Your teacher make it more beautiful.
Now I’m making Jacottool video.

[@SergioPena20]

What kind of steel did you use for this? Who do you buy it from?

[@tanakayawatch]

Thanks for watching☺️
I usually use Bergeon 2250-s
Or if you can get carbon steel rod , you can tempering it. I updated other movie.
Or use a steel screw driver tip .Blue one.

[@dima343.]

you bend it at 6:39, i think a micrometer is not best tool for measurement staff diameter in lathe

[@tanakayawatch]

Thanks for watching.
Yes I think too. I want to get small thickness gage.
But There are too expensive or not small.

[@jankohut1295]

Hi
Amazing work . Just wonder what shape are your gravers?
Thanks

[@tanakayawatch]

Thanks for watching.
I made a movie of how to make gravers.
And my graver’s shape is not generally.

[@jankohut1295]

Just watch, the brass handle very good idea.
Thanks

[@tanakayawatch]

You are welcome. Hope to good work 🤞

[@merlin1943]

Really nice, amazing work as always. You already told your lathe is a Lorch, but it’s a 6mm or 8mm ? I’m thinking about buying one.

[@tanakayawatch]

Thanks for watching ☺️
I usually use a BOLEY 8mm lathe.
And it’s American bed type.

[@merlin1943]

@@tanakayawatch It's a pleasure to watch your videos, always perfect work! About the lathe, I have two options a Lorch 6mm or a Favorite 8mm, hard to decide. I thought your lathe was a Lorch, not a Boley, sorry ☺

[@tanakayawatch]

Really!? There has a mark on the head and bed.

[@merlin1943]

@@tanakayawatch I couldn’t see the lathes, I bought it online, hope to have it next week. In the end I bought the 8mm Favorite, I’m looking forward to it. And please keep doing videos, your work is amazing and inspiring !!

[@tanakayawatch]

Thanks too. Let’s enjoy lathe life together. ☺️

Can I do this at home? I am new in watchmaking and can clean, lubricate and put a movement together.

[@tanakayawatch]

Thanks for watching ☺️
I took all movies at my home.
I belong watch repair company and work in company’s workshop . but training and test and studies at home.

[@_GOD_HAND_]

Just curious, why go through all the trouble to turn your own staff for a 6497 when you can buy a new one on ebay for less than $10?

[@tanakayawatch]

Thanks for watching and information.
It’s a demonstration movie and I can made it less 30 minutes .
How much are your country’s hours payment. If it’s over $20 , eBay is best!!

[@anonymousstout4759]

If you make your video shorter Blume around 6 minutes, with narration and no music I'm sure your video will blowin up dude. Nice vide anyway

[@tanakayawatch]

Thank for watching.
Ok I’ll make short version and no music. But can not make narrations because I can’t speak English well.
First purpose is I want to tell how much time is necessary to make a balance staff. Many guys uploaded just photos. So Young guys got images easily by this movie.
I think my movies are too long too !😅

[@blisz2718]

Big fan of the videos. May I ask what speed you are running at? Also, are you using a HSS or Carbide graver?

[@tanakayawatch]

Thanks for watching ☺️
This spindle turns at 800RPM.
I usually use tungsten carbide graver.

[@ryanr2046]

Fun to watch. Thank you for posting

[@tanakayawatch]
