Using Antique Watchmaker Tools & New Lathe Reveal - Watchmaking Vlog 27

This watchmaking vlog episode 27 I show off my new machine that I bought. The Optimum 3008G Lathe. This lathe will enable me to turn stainless steel watch cases for my watch that I am building. It was a real pain to get this machine into my tiny workshop, but we managed to do it.

I start to remake the balance bridge for my watch, and use a mysterious watchmaker tool known as the uprighting tool. This allows me to locate the holes that I need to make a lot quicker than setting up in the lathe with the faceplate and centring the watch with the centring scope.

This was the efforts of one night I had available in the workshop. I should progress faster later this week and have the balance bridge completed by the end of the month.

Never Give Up!

Thanks for watching.
