Thanks for this excellent tuto

Excellent video and amazing skills! What kind of graver do you use. It cuts like butter! What is the best material to make screws and stems?

Ha! Not a fool at all! Very inspiring

Making a drill bit would be cool.

Listening on 2x speed is still slow.

Thank you , this has helped in my understanding of lock jewel pivot movements. 🙏

Thanks Boss 🤝

Very instructive. What I do not get is what movement you make with your tweezers correcting an out of flat hairspring. Are you twisting the spring? Something else? I would be very happy if you would take the time to explain me.

Very informative and very helpful. 🕐⚙️🍸

Hello! I have one with exactly the same issue and for the life of me I cannot find a replacement hours hand. Can you sell me a gear like you made?

Great work. How are you indexing the wheels after each tooth cut? Also, did you end up crossing them out?

Just a note: it’s very easy to make hairspring picks- just shape and file down brass or steel paperclips then polish them. Stick the non-work end into a handmade shaft. Done.

I would definitely like to see you make a drill bit.

Perfect

You are one clever guy

"incidently... flexing it like this..." One should be very cautious about this, specially on old and small hairsprings like Bubbleback Rolex's and other very thin / weak hairsprings, where a movement like that it will deform the spiral downwards.

Wow. Incredible sensitivity! You would have been an excellent vascular surgeon

complimenti ,bravo !!!

Any idea where can buy hairspring picks as shown please

Ah! what a pleasant sounding!

Where did you get them picks from?

Props👏

👏👏👏

Wow toll, Grüsse aus Berlin.

Nice video, thanks. Also greasing the bit/drill everytime you take the chips out, is a good idea, and keep low rpm, to avoid metal to harden

Nice, challenging work!

I have a lot of work to do!

I could watch this all day

Hi, thank you very much for the great video. I have learned a lot again. I didn't know that I could do this on a glass plate (I didn't want to damage the balance spring so I always set the balance on the small wirst watch cushion but on glass it's great, thank you very much. I use the same pair of tweezers Dumoxel N°7 like you sad in the video they are curved & don't get in the way(In the beginning I tried with N°5 but it was to difficult to handle for me). The tools would be good what you had there. I'm only a slightly advanced layman. I started with an old broken balance spring & it took me a long time to do half of it back then & still does today, but it's better used with two N°7 tweezer &, I also use sometimes the N°5 but rarely. If the balance spring forms a horizontal tangent when viewed from the side with the layers of hairspring & nothing protrudes at the end, I know that I have succeeded in straightening the balance spring at the end of the work. I was able to learn a lot here & thank you. For you & your family stay healthy & happy.

Super kalm voice

Brilliant explanation of one of the most frustrating tasks to try and do when watch bashing! Thank you for putting this out there! Now to make some picky thingys ...... and get a pair of number 7's.

Це є гарно , дякую 😊❤

This is very satisfying

Really interesting lathe work, thank you for sharing it.👍

I had smimillar problem with broken steam stucked in the crown. Crown was with telescope and spring inside crown tube (diver) and I tried to work this out the same way but I did not succeed. Ended up in purchasing new crown. 😂

Thank you for another interesting video, best regards, Kamil

Fantastic video, man. Extremely helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make it!

I think you have to be ambidextrous to fix a hairspring. While my right hand tweezer is trying to fix a problem in a hairspring my left hand tweezer is messing up another area of it.

Props👏

Thank you very much for this most valuable hairspring repair course I have seen on CZcams ever!!!

Hi this gay is magic whid the work is doing this is a art

Wow! Excellent work

What the student should have done is a technique that when you have a screw that will not come out, you turn it the opposite direction, in kind of a back and forth manner, hoping to break it away at the threads, and then removing it. If the student would have done that, they might have discovered that they were turning it the wrong way, when the screw started turning in the direction that they thought was the tightening direction. It might sound counterintuitive, tightening it when it is stuck, but at times it will dislodge it.

I would say that you have a good assortment of extra screws. I wonder how long it would take a person to look through all of those screws to find a replacement?

What a wonderful work you did on this restoration. You deserve more views, but thank you for sharing.
