Although not as nice as the Bergeon rotating stand didn’t want to shell out the cash. Spent an hour or two measuring and making this one, it does a great job and I even tapered the holes so the screw driver rests on the handle and not the blade!

Not got access to a 3D printer are there any companies that produce custom prints from an uploaded file, like you can do with PCB files.

Anyone know of such a company ?

Thanks

Yes there are on Etsy. But not sure if it would just be cheaper to get one of those Chinese replicas or the bergeon stand.

Very nice and functional design. Personally not a fan of the fancy rotating stand as you have to keep track of the colors. Picking screwdriver on the back side of the stand is somewhat annoying as you have to rotate it 180 degrees, and for this reason you will feel lazy to place them back on the stand as it is hard to recall the positions at a single glance.

Your design may actually work better for some of us, as it makes it easier to discern position. For improvement ideas, maybe round the sharp edges on the top side, or add a slot to store the extra bits?

      What is this tool !

      By mikepilk · Posted

      I was pleased to pick up a selection of some tools on ebay (v cheap 🤣), and they've just arrived,  I've been looking for a crystal press for a while, and this one is ideal But in the selection is this thing - what is it for?  (it's about 3" long) Something to do with stem tubes?

      You'll have to strip it back anyway.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      I think I've heard that more than from just Alex. That doesn't make it right though, but I'm convinced i saw some literature diagram explaining why to do that. There must be good info here in the archives, I'll have to have a dig around.

      That will mean dismantling the gear train, which with 5 pivots to align was a pain. Probably going to have to though. I'm convinced it's something to do with the great wheel.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By VWatchie · Posted

      As far as I know, the only time an epilame treatment has potential drawbacks is when something is rubbing on the treated part w/o lubrication in between creating abrasive dust. That is, I don't believe in the method of "running the watch to make a groove through it first in the pallet stones where the lubrication is then placed". So, I think the rule would be; do not epilame treat parts where rubbing is going on without lubrication. Other than that I don't think we have anything to worry about. That said, I'm not an expert, and I'm always happy to learn more. Has any other repairer than Alex suggested or explained the "making-a-groove" method? My impression is that it's just something he constructed in his mind. I have not perceived it as a generally practiced method. Again, I could be wrong!
