Never knew about that walnut bowl! Nice.... 😊
I'm four and a half minutes into this video and I am grateful you are explaining both the how and why !
You make wonderful videos. I went into our jewelry shop (for a necklace clasp replacement) that we've gone to for almost 50 years, and because of the videos, I wanted to talk to the watchmakers - but my wife pulled me away LOL...I'll be back.
Good Evening Kalle,
Great Tour through your polishing room. Love the Tumbler, never Seen anything alike.
Thank You and have a nice Weekend.

Super explication as ever. Thanks for the coffee and the look in your phantastic workshop Michel from South of Germany
Hello Kalle, what a great work shop you have created, very impressive.
Serious level of workshop 👏
Thank you Kalle. Great as always. Really need to learn more about buffing/polishing
Really interesting! I'm looking forward to the next episodes!
Even though I can't imagine a situation where I would want to get a watch polished.
Such indepth knowledge you have, Sir. Mind boggling.
Impressive facility!!!Fascinating stuff and I always learn. Thank you Kalle for posting!!
whats the polishing machine name or SKU on most left out of the three??
Kalle. Thank you. I'll never get to begin to polish, but the knowledge and enthusiasm is a pleasure. I and others are obviously learning so much. Knowledge makes us better.
No lapping machine? Or is that to come.
With one of those I don’t think you need much more plus you will never round edges. I really want a lapping machine but way out of price for a hobbyist .
Thats the sad Thing🙄 right now im in spain and i have all my watchmaking stuff with me but i dont have any mashine with me.😅😅😅 PS. Love your videos
I am wondering about cold laser repair for a slight ding in an 18 karat gold pocket watch case? And I really enjoy your videos.
thanks i learned alot
You should look in to a split-lap polisher for stainless to keep the edges and give a mirror finish. Greetings from Ireland.
Excellent video series. What cleaner do you run in your ultra sonic baths?
Kalle, could you tell all of us which walnut grit you use in the vibrating tumbler?
How long you put the watchparts in the tumbler?
Right? I’m so curious about the walnut husks that I may go buy a tumbler and some walnut husks myself and see how it works. What could it cost 💲
Hello Kalle thank you my friend for the very interesting content, it's nice to see there still a lot goin' on in your shop.
Give a hug to Fat Bertha for me... Guillochééééééééé ! Lolll Enjoy your week-end my friend.
Hi, these videos are very well done and very informative. I’m looking to purchase a new panerai 963 bronzo watch (made out of brushed bronze) and love the look of the bronze when new but not so much when it patinas. Would you recommend having the bronze polished every 6 months to a year to keep the bronze looking new or taking another approach such as applying a lemon juice and baking soda paste? Thank you, Edmond
Hi Kalle, what compound you are using with hard felt wheel, and what grit is artifex wheel? Thanks
thank you so much for part 2. I've been waiting for it every day since part 1. i am just a hobbyist, and i learn so much from your videos.
currently working on an Omega 1310 i got cheap because it doesn't work.
Hi Kalle, thanks for the videos. May I ask, what grade of Artifex wheel do you leave on the spindle? I note there are varying grit sizes. Lee
It is nice to experiment but I like the 250 medium hard.
Thanks for the video! After part 1 I was waiting anxiously for the next. I am very experienced in buffing/polishing but knew I would learn some stuff! I will be buying a tumbler and walnut shells asap! Just one question, I know you mentioned they are good for gold. Are they safe for gold fill, or gold plate? And is the abrasive too light to finish stainless? Thanks again for the info!!
Thanks Kalle, another great one in the series! How long do you keep the part in the tumbler?
👍❤❤❤🤝👌
