    Good job and great explanation. Pretty much the same method I use. I usually mark the balance so my roller table and hair spring go back in relatively the same spot. That’s just me me being lazy about adjusting 😉😁. Great video as always, nice to see tools and their uses.

    I remember being told to mount the balance wheel and old staff in your lathe and turn the old rivet rim off to prevent any damage to the balance wheel rather than just punching the staff out.
    Rod.

      Yes that is the best way to remove the old staff if you have a lathe.

    Some newer Walthams had a friction fit staff. They are much easier to work with. Another method of removing riveted staffs is to use a watchmaker's lathe and graver to cut off the rivet edge. This takes a lot of skill and practice. I am enjoying your videos. And Yes, I agree, this hobby is NOT cheap..

      Thanks JD! I really enjoy watching your pocket watch videos! I have learned a lot and it is fascinating watching you use tools that I don't have (yet). Thanks for watching!

    Man what’s a good resource for getting into pocket watches for a newbie?

      Besides watching my videos, I recommend searching FB for groups who specialize in pocket watches, and also the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors (NAWCC) Forum has a lot of good info! Also, buying cheap ones on ebay to experiment with is helpful!! Thanks for watching!

    Great video. Well spoken. thanks. Some folk will file the old rivet down to make the shaft come of the wheel a little easier. Afraid of damaging or expanding the center hole in wheel because of old rivet. But you have to be very attentive do to file the wheel. It never hurts to mark the direction of the impulse jewel.

    First, I want to say I watched the whole playlist on the use of a staking tool set! Thank you for the time and well worded explanations, I really have learned so much from you already. I wanted to ask if you need a separate setup or different stumps than what is usually found in these older staking sets to properly do “double roller” tables? I think I’ve only seen you do single rollers, unless I missed it. Thanks again and i look forward to future videos!

    Great video and explanation. How do you know the size of the balance to be replaced, any tips in sizing them would help me as struggling to work it out.😊

    Just getting into the hobby and also am finding it not to be cheap. Balance staff work is probably a ways away but I'm gathering information as I go. So where do you buy tools like the balance staff remover tool and staking sets? I've looked at ebay and I can't find the remover and the staking sets are all missing stakes, etc.
    Anyway, thanks in advance and I'm loving your videos, learning a lot.

    • @myhobbiesarenotcheap

      eBay is the only place I have been able to find MOST of the vintage items. You have to check every couple of days, as new ones are put up. Also, even buying an incomplete set is okay, if you understand that you need to purchase the other stakes or punches as you go. You also may want to join the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors (NAWCC) and go to a show. They have them in most states - people sell watches and watch tools, etc. You may have to be a member to get in.. not sure... Hope this helps!

    What's a good staking tool for someone a year into watchmaking?

    • @myhobbiesarenotcheap
      @myhobbiesarenotcheap  Год назад

      For antique pocket watches, I would go with the C&E Marshall. K&D is also a good one. Thanks for watching!

    I actually need to do this for the first time on an Elgin, and I have a Hamilton I need to do as well. Do you know where I can buy correct size hole jewels for the Hamilton? I do have the measurements but haven't found where to buy them.
    First one:
    Pivot 0.14 mm
    Dia 1.115 mm
    Thickness 0.3 mm
    Second one:
    Pivot 0.14 mm
    Dia 1.14
    Thickness 0.33

      Sometimes the best thing to do is find a donor movement that is being sold for parts and scavenge what you can off of it. Jewels are hard to fit because pivot hole sizes are different. You may want to try some of the larger watch part suppliers online (because you already have the measurements).
