Re: A Clockmaker's Skills
As soon as I saw your subject, I knew it was Chris.
Guy is amazing, and he is doing all that work on what appears to be a mini-lathe, a sherline lathe and a small mill-drill.
Even the guys over on Practical Machinist admire him.
He gets incredible finishes on everything, but my guess is that it takes quite a long time to do that.

I picked up a lot of neat ideas. Especially Borac Acid to eliminate the blackening on hardened parts.

Re: A Clockmaker's Skills
Great video, thanks for sharing.
I am starting down the road of learning how to machine micro components myself with the end goal of producing a small Tourbillon for a project I am working on. If anyone has ever seen them in high end watches they are simply mesmerizing to watch. Inevitably the project will consist of 3 smaller tourbillons but I have to learn how to cut and lap gears, make hair springs and grind pinion racks for starters.
