In this watchmaking vlog episode 19.
I cut the wheel train bridge for my hand made modified Swiss made ETA 6498 watch movement. I begin to file the rough shape profile of the wheel train bridge.
I use the Seitz Jewelling Tool which is a staple tool for any watchmaker. This allows me to ream the hole to size and press the watch jewels into place. The watch jewels are a hard surface which allows the harden steel watch wheel pivots to rotate in, with the least amount of wear to occur within the watch. As there are no ball bearings in a mechanical watch.
The third, fourth and escape wheel jewels in the ETA 6498 movement use standard diameter Seitz jewels.
I move on to testing the wheels within my newly hand made watch and give a brief explanation into the side and end shake of watch wheels within a mechanical watch.
Thanks for watching, happy watchmaking.

Dean, this is starting to look gorgeous! Your care and attention to detail really show. I’m also liking the more frequent uploads, I know how difficult it is to film and edit all this while still trying to produce a great piece. Can’t wait until it’s done!

Thanks Lance & Patrick for watching and commenting 😁 Nice, I’m still a little undecided on the final surface finish, some experiments may be on the horizon 😂

it's nice to see you using chalk on your files, i learned that trick back in high school it prevents filings from sticking to the file. good job Pete

Thanks Pete. It is a great technique especially for softer materials such as brass. 👍

Very interesting to follow your adventures Dean. Keep wishing you good luck. Small steps at a time, don’t be too eager to progress quick to make the next video even though we like it so much. Concluding: I’m definetely not a professional but I think you’re on the right way 👍🏼👍🏼 Good luck

Just a minor point but you should really start by putting in the balance and getting the position of the pallet fork against the double roller done first. Then the escape wheel against the pallet stones, and finally the gear train against the escape wheel. By beginning with the gear train if you now follow on to make the engagement of the escape wheel to the pallet stones correct the end result will be an out of place pallet fork that is either too high and blocks the balance or too low and doesn't engage the roller jewel

As always a very informative video :) ... one question,- how do you invision doing the chamfering, so that each hole you chamfer have the same chamfer depth ?

@DeanDK 5 жыл бұрын

It would be possible to mark the inside of the hole with a fine scriber then it’s possible to have all the holes to the same depth with the same countersink tool

@TheVIndings 5 жыл бұрын

@@DeanDK .. yeah .. i was thinking, maybe it would also be possible to use the Seitz jeweling tool with a counter sink tool, and since it as a micrometer function they should all same depth .. just a thought

@AceNoguera Жыл бұрын

whats the name if the tool youre using at 5:01 ?

Do not ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever scrub with a file... it will heighten any inconsistency in your strokes..... only push even on brass. Watch the cut not the file
