what a legend

wow I had no idea such technique exists

Using the sharpening tool, the stone wears in the center fairly quickly. You can dress the stone by oiling and rubbing it on a cheap HF type diamond plated plate and watching the grove in the center shrink to nothing. Great for refinishing yard sale stones.

Long time no see, Dean, we all hope you're allright!

Just discovered your stuff, Dean. I hope you made it to the place you wanted to get to!

Good for you dude! Live the dream and keep the dream alive!

What an interesting moment this was. I really enjoyed it. What a complete workshop full of incredible tools. Maybe one day I will have one like this :-) Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I wish you success in your life.

Excellent video! Very useful to learn how to make dies. What brand is that lathe you are using?

Excellent information and tips! I am very new with watchmaker’s lathes and have been watching your excellent videos which have helped me a lot! I am amazed that you are making your own watch! That would be my dream! I have a lot to learn though!😎 I just got a cross slide for my lathe, but I don’t know where I can get a good quality set of cutters for it. Could you give me an idea of where I could buy some? Thank you for your help, and keep up the great work!

We want more!! Hope all is well

What happened to this guy!?!?

I know this is pretty old but is it possible to use normal water whetstones instead of the india stone?

8.50 it's an Arkansas stone, although for the very last finish I use a Degussit stone. The graver is of course hardened and tempered to a deep straw colour which will cut most things horological.

as of 2024, this intro is quite depressing

awesome, cheers from Florida, USA...Paulie

Great advice. Thank you.

It's my favourite watch. Proper art and engineering. Horology at its best.

Awesome brother!

So I wonder, why exactly is it important that the diamond shape is perfect? And are you supposed to turn with the diamond shape down, or up?

Kaj😮😮😮

Can you do an equipment list and video maybe of all the machines and tools? That would be super awesome 👍 maybe you've already done that and i haven't discovered it yet...

Love the razor blade tip, very imformative.

Just found your channel and Subscribed. Very nice work

Hello Dean, how is your watchmaking journey going? Hope to see a update on your development

Can one find a new lathe?

Hey mate, not sure if youre still on here as im very late to the party but nonetheless your videos are inspiring and well of knowledge. Ive just got some questions for you about the BHI course as I'm picking up watch repairs from my father but am looking to begin getting certifications..and the BHI distance learning seems the most doable considering my situation. First question if, because we aren't based in the UK, i would assume that we would have to get our own tools, machine and material. Which costs money, so how much would you say youd have spent to finish the course? And what sort of equipment is required to complete the course? As i wouldnt want to enroll only to find i dont have the logistics to finish it.. For some exams, an examiner needs to be there, and I understand that i can find my own examiner, but what sort of qualification and where do you go to find these people that can be examiner? For those exams in Level 4, which you need to do to the UK, how does that happen? Is it a one day kind of thing? What the process like.. And lastly, starting from Level 3, do I choose from the start if i want to pursure watches or clocks? Because im getting the understanding from BHI that they teach more on the clock than watches for level 3.. I know its really lengthy and alot of questions but youre the only guy i know what I know has done the course.. cheers and keep inspiring!

What happened bro? I was really enjoying these build videos!

I think it would it be cool if you polished same rate whether you're doing the outside or the inside, causing the ones near the center to be more tightly packed I think that would give a pretty cool looking illusion that you're looking down a tunnel

can i say, you are a douch bag. cannel cut tool is hilarous

i really enjoy your videos....i hope that you are "alive and well", but just needed to stop videos for simple reasons in life. Happy 2024!

I recently found a watch lathe in the back of a shop that is almost the same as this lovely little one, and working restoring a few bits! Your vids are Finally giving me the last bits of knowledge to get started down that project! Thanks for the vids!

Salem je veux savoir de ou acheté tous le matériel le peyi us ou italien ou chinois

Well done great video, personally, I feel that these educational videos don’t need the background music, I found it a little irritating..

👉You’re Content delivery style registers perfectly with my Uber ADHD🧠🏁 New Subscriber here💯 EXCELLENT VIDEO👏👏

What I don't understand is how you can make things to size. E.g. if I need a rod that is exactly 0.3mm in diameter, how do I do that by hand? Constantly stop and measure?

Excellent video! May I know which glue in 3:19 used for holding the train bridge and copper?

@shanemeyer9224 @dekodermoze2696 His last reply was 4 months ago. So I take it he is at least around. I am glad he is ok, I do hope he comes back to making videos one day.

With the dumbass music

Really enjoying this series Dean. What an opportunity. Thank you for all you do.

Are you still working on this project? I've just discovered your series and actually hoping you will continue this series soon :)

Is Vaseline petroleum jelly a good source for curing stones?

Wonderful. The screw turned out well. Do you have a video on mirror polishing the watch case?

Congratulations!

Does anyone know what happened to dean? I hope he is ok its been years since we have seen any updates

Ghee-yosh.

❤ great job more lesson more videos clips aplod sir great work 😊

I'm looking for information about my lathe from the last movie if anyone knows what this model is

Hello buddy or you do not know what is the name of the lathe from my last video I'm looking for information. Best regards

Well done and thanks for sharing. What do you use for satin finish on stainless steel cases? Thanks
