So a little bit of wear on these pivot holes!!!!! First picture is the scape wheel and the second picture is the Fly on the strike side. So much wear so far up the train, even the hammer arbor has worn the plates

  You might like to see the contraption that I made for indexing on my Chinese lathe. This is a 4 inch rotary table with dividing plates that I attached to my lathe mandrel using a drawbar. It is completely manually operated. No electronics or computer needed. I have used it to make a 60 tooth clock wheel. I use a Sherline headstock on a vertical slide to drive the gear cutter. The wheel blank is mounted on an aluminium "superglue arbor." This is the modern equivalent of a shellac chuck, and allows the wheel to be centre bored, trued and the teeth cut in a single setup, ensuring that concentricity is maintained. The finished wheel after crossing. I have not tried to make small watch parts on this lathe. The runout on the mandrel bearings may be too high for that. I won't know unless I try.

  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!
