The watch repair course and videos section has moved - if you are a Patron via Patreon or a WRT Subscriber, kindly create an account here: https://www.watchrepairlessons.com, if you have not done so already, in order to continue with your access to the Early Access and Ad-Free videos.
The Patron and Subscribers section in the WatchRepairLessons.com dashboard (direct link) will detail all your subscription details.
This will help me consolidate all my videos under one roof rather than maintaining two separate systems, and it will also help clean up WRT a bit.

I agree. From what I know, The British Horological Institute and watchmaker schools in the Netherlands teach to work on watches with flat ground screwdrivers. Hollow ground is useful for screws made of a softer metal such as gold and convex screws that you sometimes see in older watches and also sometimes used as case screws. -
How are escapement wheels and pinion assembled? Would instaling the pinion onto the escape wheel on staking set, suffice? Or the joint should also be shellaced? I used to just glue the joint, but do expect some sort of corrossive effect from the glue. Thanks in advance.
