How to Use Stumps (Overview): Watchmakers Staking Tool Set

[@mercuriall2810]

Whilst the typical ‘Buy it Now’ price for a complete or nearly complete staking set in good condition is typically several hundred dollars, I find that they are often much cheaper when listed for auction on eBay. I was lucky enough to come across an eBay seller who listed at least 5 good staking sets for auction, all ending within a few minutes of each other. The K & D Inverto set I won that day sold for about $160.

That is really great info! Congratulations on your excellent buy! Enjoy!

Best video on YT about staking sets, now I know which one to buy !

[@myhobbiesarenotcheap]

Thank you for the comment.

[@lyedavide]

Thanks! I needed the info before I spent the money on acquiring a set.

[@myhobbiesarenotcheap]

I am so glad this was helpful!

[@khronosbest9448]

Ive got 2 K&D staking sets. A 600 series and a # 18R. Today a good complete set will set someone back about $700 or more. This hobby is not for those who are looking to save money😉 Looking forward to your tutorials and thank you 🍻

[@brunom5333]

Je suis d'accord avec vous 👍, tous les outils utilisé pour ce hobby sont parfois hyper chers , il m'arrive d'acheter des lots d'outils, le tarif est élevé mais quand on fait le calcule on est gagnant et on revend le surplus 👍

[@termonostruman]

for a hobbie 700 is expensive..

Thank God for putting this video and you sir in my feed. I am new to the hobby and couldnt for the life of me find any tutorials on these staking tools. You have "turned the light bulb on" for me! Yes i did subscribe and will be watching all of the previously posted videos and look forward to anything new you may post! Many thanks again. 🫡

[@BrianBermejo]

Thanks for your videos, still I can't understand some things cause I'm new into trying to learn to fix my watches, I love antique watches and I'm very mistrusted, I'd love to fix them by my own, I appreciate very much the knowledge you share

[@myhobbiesarenotcheap]

That’s how I feel. I took a few on line courses and bought some cheap movements and practiced on fixing them and did a lot of reading on watch repair.

[@factoryelite]

Thank you good sir for sharing your knowledge. Forever in eternity as long as there is internet you wisdom is shared to the world of watchmaking.

Hello I’m watching your videos they are great. I’m just starting out I have got a few bits. But what program do I use on my laptop to record my hobby on please

[@myhobbiesarenotcheap]

I am not a high tech guy, so I really can't answer your question. I record and edit everything I do on my iphone 11 pro. That is as high tech as I get. Thanks for watching!

[@watchwhisper]

Ahh ok thank you

[@termonostruman]

i need to crave a balance staff but i dont have the tool,, thye are not chepa,, maybe i will try to make a puch myself.

[@RestorationWatch]

I was thinking, is it possible that pallet fork stump @2:40 is for polishing the pallet stones, or removing and replacing them? Or all of the above?

[@myhobbiesarenotcheap]

That is an interesting thought and makes sense! Thanks for your feedback!

[@MrVinman]

Would you happen to know what the 1-4 N staking punches are intended to be used for...only list I can find only goes up to the M punches?

[@myhobbiesarenotcheap]

I can only find the listings in my Marshall set for the "M" punches. The K&D has "N" punches listed. N1 is for driving out broken screws. N2 is for driving out cylinder plugs. N3 is a peen punch. N4 is for removing staffs. Thanks for watching!

[@MrVinman]

Yes sir I have both a K&D and a Marshall set...these do look like the screw driving out punches for the K&D but have holes in the center for a pivot.

[@myhobbiesarenotcheap]

@@MrVinman I have looked up what I could, but I have found no information on these. I did discover however that the #5 and 5B K&D staking tool sets have the 1-4 N included. You may want to look up more on those. Also, I suggest you go to FB groups and ask, as someone there might be more knowledgeable about these.
