Thermally Bluing Screws for Movement Mod

Рет қаралды 16,005

Күн бұрын

Movement mod time! Using the flame bluing technique we showed in the previous video, we’ll turn a basic Miyota 8215 movement into a custom mod movement with blue screws. We’ll also explore how different finishes on a screw, polished or straight grained, affect the outcome of bluing.
And make sure you watch till the end! We have a specially blued screw that illustrate two intertwined elements in flame bluing: metal composition and temperature.
This video is a quasi part 2 of the Flame Blue hands video published previously. So a lot of the information mentioned in that video is not repeated here. You may want to revisit that video first to better understand the action in this video: • Thermal Bluing Steel W...

That definitely elevates the look of the movement. And actually, it would look really dope with different colored screws, kinda like a rainbow.

That's something I can try! I probably will try that on another movement, like the Miyota 9015, where there are more screws to work with.

Hello, I wanted to ask if there's a page or article where i can see the difference between the standard tool kit and the pro? Thanks for the great content and please do keep making these amazing kits !!!

Yes, there is a post: facebook.com/102176077994987/posts/509272320618692/?d=n. In short, the difference is the kit package and tool quality.

I section on bluing nh series screws needs amending, tried all the screws shown in the video that could be blued and none of them changed color, even after getting the brass shavings super dark, the screws in those movements might be coated now

@DIYWatchClub Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the heads up. Appreciate it. I'll check with newer nh movements. Have you tried sanding the screwhead and bluing again? That should remove the coating if any is present.

Sometimes I can be a little color blind, did the rotor screw in the NH35 blue for you or no?

@ravnulvthordnspyd Жыл бұрын

You should goldplate the rotor. 😎🏴‍☠️👑

Is that wood shavings in the tray? Good video

@richardcranium0 2 жыл бұрын

They're using brass filings/shavings.

@DIYWatchClub 2 жыл бұрын

Yes that is brass filings. Sorry for not mentioning it in this video since it was included in the last flame blue video

Try to blued the dial... Should be awesome

@DIYWatchClub 2 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately dials are usually made with non-steel, so they cannot be blued :( Would be an awesome idea if it's possible

How are Chinese watches fake thermal blued? Painted? Anondized. I want to get a seagull 1963 and properly blue the hands

@DIYWatchClub 2 жыл бұрын

Give it a go and blue a set of hands yourself! It's fun! But remember it has to be steel hands for it to work
