Nothing like banging your micrometer with a hammer a few times after some precise calibrations. ..

[u/kinematician]

That was incredibly satisfying to watch. Brilliant restoration.

[u/iamzombus]

Wow, I was surprised he was able to calibrate it so accurately.

[u/Aramil03]

So what exactly is this used for? What part of watchmaking?

[u/zyzzogeton]

I feel like I learned a secret spell with that name-plate process. Thanks for calling it out OP.

Plus the use of filler... my reaction can best be summed up thusly: "Noooooo...oooooohhhh....OK!"

Out of all the tool repair/restore channels this guy is the best.

Hmm not ideal with that finish on the thimble. Will make it a pain to read.

Much prefer the standard satin finish for legibility.

Can we talk about the fact that he made a spring? A spring. I need a cigarette.

You guys remember his refinishing of the German screwdriver? I found one just like it. Maybe a project for the weekend.
