Here I am, starting my learning and admiring your work. I'm glad TH-cam exists so I can learn from you. Please keep posting your videos because they will keep the profession alive. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, it is very valuable to me.
This is one of those more advanced skills that I'd like to add to my repertoire, to bring older movements more fully back to life. Thanks for a really good demo!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I bought mine on ebay. They can also be bought at the usual online horological suppliers as Otto Frei, Cas-ker and Esslinger. Cheers!
I noticed color change on the pivots. Do you think they overheated? Are they made from hardened steel or mild? Because if hardened, the colors indicates change in the hardness and they may wear out quicker
Those colours do suggest that the pivot has been heated, which should never happen with a Jacot tool; perhaps here due to lack of essential lubrication? Pivots are rarely left dead hard because they would be too brittle, but in most cases they're hardened and tempered to blue, which is what the result here appears to be.
I noticed when you flipped the wheel to do the short side of the staff that you wore a step onto the end of the first pivot. Do you not use lube in that area when polishing? Also, when should the pivot ends be rounded on the staffs of the wheels or balance?
The step at the pivot root is the result of lack of control of the burnisher, allowing it to wander away from the shoulder. It isn't directly related to lubrication or lack of it.
The thing is that while this is a bow-driven JACOT tool, there are quite a number of similar tools which are a tad different from the one shown. These tools I mention have yet to be discussed as have you with This tool.
Hello Devon. Burnishers can be purchased on Ebay if you want to go the used route. They have new ones as well, or you can get them from online watchmaking suppliers such as Kasker's, Otto Frei (I think) or Cousins over in the UK. Cheers!
You seem to use the terms 'polishing' and 'burnishing' interchangeably, but they're very different processes. The Jacot tool is intended for the latter, not the former. If you want to find some documentation on the Jacot tool, (and a great deal else besides), read 'Watchmaking' by George Daniels.
Mate, if u are that good, u should put out a video, its great picking holes at others,put out a video on how u do it or shut up. We are all students in this world.NOBODY is too smart.😢
Only critique can push you forward, but can be valuable only with pointing on whats wrong. Should you be more specific? I am not a watchmaker, but can be nice to know your thoughts. Me personaly will make rounded ends first before final touch at least. Thanks Peter
"Screwed up" I mean "fixed up". That was very funny!!!

I dont work on watches, but I do like watchmaking tools. This was a very nice presentation. 👍

Thank you for a detailed discussion of the steps in setting up the work. I like the idea of using paper to catch the part if it comes off.
excellent video. Thanks
😊 yo me estoy fabricando ese torno 😊, hoy fui a que me hicieran dos agujeros para que cuando gire vaya preciso 😊 estoy feliz por mi torno 😊
Ah, it's always interesting to hear someone's voice for the first time. Great video and great camerawork. Looking forward to watching more from you!
Thanks a lot! It's very flattering hearing encouraging words from a peer. Much appreciated!
Perhaps I missed it, but don’t forget to put a drop of oil on the burnisher. Nice video, thank you.
I always do, I just forget to mention some things in the videos. My bad! Cheers!
Excellent information. Thanks.
You're welcome Hossein!
Thank you. Very informative and clear
Excellent video that helped me a lot, thanks!
Very useful. Thank you.
My pleasure!
Amazing information, thank you.
Amazing
Thank you for the video, was very detailed, could follow everything. Where do you buy the burnisher file? Thank you.

@@grumpyswatchrestorations thank you, I guess it will be the Bergeon one, better safe than sorry :p
amazing ! Have to buy one, having so many pocket watches to be fix.
Hi
What is the max arbor length which you can use in this tool?
I noticed color change on the pivots. Do you think they overheated? Are they made from hardened steel or mild? Because if hardened, the colors indicates change in the hardness and they may wear out quicker

Would this work with a Miyota quartz movement?
Отличное видео, все хорошо показано
How does one prevent damage to the "web" of the wheel each time the bow direction is reversed? Is the driving pin a softer material?
Thank You
Is it possible to drill a hole to replace the pivot with that tool?
No, it isn't designed to do that.
I noticed when you flipped the wheel to do the short side of the staff that you wore a step onto the end of the first pivot. Do you not use lube in that area when polishing? Also, when should the pivot ends be rounded on the staffs of the wheels or balance?

Where can one get the burnishing steel that you are using?

Criticizing someone who at least is striving is pointless and as easy as pretending to be born perfect
Anxiously awaiting your much improved video on using the Jacot.
Please dont move your file.
Only move your bow

I just bought one you may have save a few innocent pivots THANKS
