I love the movement holder, i nearly won one just like it on ebay the other day but my bloody phone crashed at the end. I was rather pissed off   about it 😤

A nice easy hand one as well to make up for it. Mine has never failed me yet. Oohh pivot drills and holders, roller remover, hand remover, cool looking pliers, a cuddly toy, a teasmade, a and set of matching pans. 👍

May not all be correct lol. Based on tools that  I've seen similar.

A. Looks like soft leather for the inside of crystals.

What would this be for ? Watch repairers make all sorts of home made tools to suit how they work some of which can only be guessed as to their use. As soon as I started repairing I was doing the same. I come up with all sorts of crazy ideas. Some work some don't 😉

Just trying to be funny here, but #3 looks like the end of an old wooden crutch that was cut down and threaded at the top =D

Good examples of overengineered and under-engineered. 

Love seeing cool tools and figuring out what they are used for. Thanks for sharing, Mark!

    • Ok thanks Ross, I will give that a try!😁
    • Welcome my friend. 
    • Been there. Worn that Tshirt.  'ping'. Hands and knees. Nothing. Nada. 20 minutes? Ha! I found it 7 month later. How? Well, after advice from a member, I invested in a £4 UV light torch.  Hands and knees looking for a 'ping' from a Sekonda, found them both within 30 seconds. UV makes the jewel shine. easy peasy. Could have taken longer. Just lucky on the location of the search. Hope this helps.
    • Thanks Dell. I thought about silver soldering. Have never done it but would like to give it a go. Do you think to put flux on the butted joint then run the solder in or to maybe brace it with a piece of scrap spring steel?
    • Never and others. Yes, like you I do spend a fair amount of time reading the contents of this forum. I find it better that any other. Clear, lucid, no Prima Donas, and most of all an easy access without adverts. All thanks to Mark. God bless you mate. You give so much to many of us. What if? No Mark? Hypothetically. A forum. I did run a forum for a few years. Really enjoyed it, but became so engrossed that it did affect my health. I gave to to others to run. Not been back. It was very successful and rivalled a number of large paying sites. No adverts, no others but me. I did ask and listen to members comments and it worked well.    Costs Having a domain name, £10 annually.  Register the site with a forum company, free. Build the site using the forum company guide lines, free. It looked and ran almost the same a Mark's. All the same facilities. The cost was only £5 per month, but counted visits (views). If I recall, it was that price for 5,000 views. Each extra 5,000 views increased the price by £2 per month. Success was my own personal undoing. From £5 per month initially, it rose to £60 a month and looked like increasing. This was 10 years ago. I could not afford that, and asked it anyone would like to take over and someone did. I would assume that this is the price that Mark is funding for us all. His return is our continued comments on the internet about his course, and the fact that many of the big names on YouTube mention him as their Tutor. Those of us who have done, and are still using, his course, benefit. In comparison to other courses, I can't believe how cheap it is, and the value is exceptional. It is the structure that gives the value. Long may Mark reign. Ross
