Hi All

I love a challenge!  decided to make my own screwdriver holder rather than buy one!  Had all the materials except the bearings which were AU$7.00 each.  Works a treat, and as luck would have it, the angle it rests on the stone at is the perfect angle for sharpening!

FYI - the stone is a Fallkniven knife sharpener. Has a finer metalised surface on the reverse side.

I have a screwdriver holder, never used it.  I discovered blades were cheap.  Hehe. Good work though. 

That thought crossed my mind too!  I typically will buy what I need - or want (haha) but I have a lathe and a milling machine and I seem to look at these things and think, I could make that!  Keeps the mind occupied and help to figure out problems.  Take the centre screw, the reason it has a large blank shoulder under the thmb screw is because my taps are short, so had to work around that!  I wanted the bearings to be press fit, but one is and one isn't!

      B-Dip residue?

      By KarlvonKoln · Posted

      One-dip or naphtha should be safe, but are you sure it isn't magnetized?  I would also check that.  Although, if that balance is from an Elgin 760 0r 761, I would think it would have a hairspring of non-magnetic alloy.

      Replacing armoured crystal in a front loading watch case…

      By Curare · Posted

      Hi John I just did a Seiko Lord-Matic a front loader without a split stem, I used a crystal lift to remove it, although I had to have it that tight I though I was going to break the lift before the crystal would budge. So I decided that the press would be a better option as I think crystals with tension rings resist a lot of compressing. I used a crystal press to repalce it and the bezel with no issues, obviuosly a different watch to the Omega. I just took my time and kept inspecting the installation progress bit by bit Regards CJ

      Replacing armoured crystal in a front loading watch case…

      By Zendoc · Posted

      Hello All, I’m replacing the crystal in an Omega Dynamic, # 165.039, which houses a cal 552, installed through the front of the case. The replacement Sterncreuz crystal is, like the original, with tension ring. I removed the crystal using a compressed air technique to pop it out.  (I have a crystal lift, but I’m always fearful of marking the crystal edges and so avoid using it as much as possible). Now to the replacement -  any tips on putting the crystal back in?  Am I obliged to using my dreaded crystal lift to complete the task, or how about a crystal press?  I’ve put lots of crystals in using a press, but never with the movement in the watch. The thought of using one with a front-loader makes me very nervous, with the fully assembled watch sitting under the press. How would more experienced folks proceed here? Any advice, gratefully received… John Down Under…

      No thats straight out of the watch as i found it the balance wheel is almost as bad. I've never seen so much material removed.
