I have a clock hairspring that I accidentally "coned" when I forgot to unpin the hairspring before separating the plates.

The concept is interesting but the jaws will have to be much finer for the hairspring I mangled.

Maybe modifying a pair of cheap Indian made tweezers would work for me.

  Will do. Funny it doesn’t have a makers name.

  Andygsi said he was done after last week and think old hippy has gone the same way😞. I'll miss both of them, especially the old fella.

  Hello from the great state of Tennessee. I live just a couple of miles from the geographical center of Tennessee so when I say that I live in middle Tennessee, it's the truth. Over the past couple of years I have really grown to love Hamilton pocket watches. Specifically the RR lever set ones. I have about 20 Hamiltons & most of them are 21 jewel RR watches. One of these days I'm gonna dive in & see if I can take one apart, clean & reassemble it. The 940's I have are too beautiful for me to risk destroying so I plan on getting a running cheap movement to experiment on. I am looking forward to reading & learning about the process of watch repair. I'm happy to be here!

  There's a really nice app for detecting magnetism, which is much more reliable than a compass; it's named "Magnetized Wristwatch Checker":
