Just curious, could the brass holes be reamed out and jewels be added to the brass plate? Or is it too thin because it wasn't engendered to have jewels? Thanks for taking us along. 👍
Good question! Yes, it could be done that way. If the hole was too large or or misshaped, that was a common practice - to ream out the old pivot hole and to either insert a jewel (with a setting) OR to rivet in a two piece bushing and then redrill a new pivot hole in the bushing.
Good day, love your videos, very easy on the ears and the brain....easy to take i with simple language. I see someone already asked about inserting a jewel, is it also advisable to replace the bush with a steel bush??? Instead of the usual brass bush?? Thanks very much. Enjoy your videos, and learn heaps from them. Thanks again Mike.
@@michaelfonseka7657 Thanks for your kind comments! I really don't know the answer to your question. You may want to go to one of the watch repair FB pages and ask that question! (All of the ones I have ever seen are brass).
@@michaelfonseka7657 Steel against steel will wear out very quickly. Dissimilar metals self lubricate. That's why brass or nickel is used on the upper and lower plates.
Fantastic lesson! Thank you! I enjoy your teaching method. The way you "discover" that flat-faced solid punch as the stump solution is like we figured it out together. I think that kind of natural communication ability is most helpful in keeping the student (me) engaged in a way that helps retain the information. Anyone would be blessed to be your apprentice.
Thank you so much for your very kind comment! My wife always tells me to just be myself and talk as if I were "mentoring" someone in person. That is what I strive to do in every video. Thanks for watching!
Another 1st rate video, well explained and presented. Learning so many new 'things' from your channel and videos. They're really a massive help in understanding the many mysteries of this satisfying 'hobby'. Many thanks for putting them together and sharing with us. Ron😀
Another super video. Love it. Thank you so much for making these videos. I like how clear you are and even have some labels for what tools you are using. I can screen shot. I also like that you speak slowly and don’t have some rubbish music which sometimes serves as a distraction. Have you ever tried using a staking set to help remove a stubborn screw? I basically work on wrist watches and sometimes a caseback screw is very tight and needs a massive amount of downward pressure from screwdriver head to screw while turning slowly. I’m thinking have the screw drive head on the staking set and tighten up and then slowly turn the entire watch caseback clockwise. What do you think?
Merci pour votre Partage, c'est toujours avec plaisir que je visionne vos videos👍 , justement j'ai un probléme similaire sur le fonctionement d'une montre bracelet⌚ daté de la grande guerre 1914-18, la montre n'ayant pas eu de revision en 4 ans et fabriqué au plus vite et a bas coup sans rubis, a beaucoup de jeux sur les platines , je l'ai assemblé pour voir mais depuis le nettoyage des platine avec la buchette de bois, le jeux au pivots c'est agrandi le fonctionement est aléatoire, vos conseils sont donc les bien venus, Sympas votre platine de montre coq👍 , Au plaisirs de vous retrouver sur la chaine , Bruno du 44 France ,Bretagne sud
Hello, I am very new to this hobbie and I have been watching a lot of videos and I must say the way you demonstrate and explain what your doing is wonderful. About your staking set. It appears you have a very fine and complete set. After looking at sets on ebay, I am seeing that the quality and especially the completeness may not be there. So I am asumming one may have to purchase, maybe multiple sets to create one as complete as yours. You mention "invertor" punches. Are all sets considered "invertors"? I do hope this makes sense and I have the terminology correct. Thank You
@@myhobbiesarenotcheap Hey, Based on your great explanation and with some searching on eBay, I bought myself a set of the Marshall's. Thanks again. I am working my way through your videos.
Could the 'pivot hole' also be considered to be a 'bearing' ? I'm new to all this and find it all very fascinating. The actual function of the 'jewel' is perplexing to me. Are the 'jewels' machined just like a bearing or bushing for the pivot to ride on?
Yes, the pivot hole and the jewels can be considered "bearings". The jewels reduce friction and make the watch more accurate. The pivots last longer when using a jewel.

@@myhobbiesarenotcheap Thank you !!!!! I understand now, and am amazed at the incredible high-precision boring of the hole through the jewel.
