Tommy, Thanks for the shoutout! Much appreciated. The swing tool is one of the more outside the box solutions in watchmaking. Great video. Cheers, Reuben
Hi Tommy, great video and excellent method of filing flats! It is so interesting learning from different trades👍 Thanks for the shout out and glad you like the sticker🤘
Tommy, thank you once again for sharing these videos showing the tools & jigs you make and use in your workshop. I'll also take a look at Stephen Franke's channel, like I did (& do!) for James and Reuben. ;) All three of you have very interesting content and I hope that Stephen's channel will too.
Hello Tommy, Many thanks for this video... as always I have a question. You showed some enlarged photos of tools that gave you the inspiration to make your swing tool. were they all from one book and could you please tell me what it is called. See you next time. Take care. Paul,,
Tommy, I've always pronounced it as 'dee-tent' rather than 'det-ent', and all engineers that I know pronounce it same as I do. But I know that George Daniels called it a 'det-ent' too, is it just the way watchmakers pronounce it? ... Inquiring minds need to know! I like that swing tool, I've often found the need for something like that, but just struggled on anyway - I'll have to make something like that, thanks!
I suspect it 'tomaato' 'tomato'. I've always known it refered to as a detent, certainly in a horological context. According to google the correct pronuciation is /dɪˈtɛnt/duh - tent, so who knows!

Is the brass block that the detent is superglue to sacrificial?
