New old tool

[Juleswatch]

Just bought this great old tool (lathe?)and now finally will be able to make the bezel I have needed for about a year now for my big old 65mm pocket watch. Just love these old tools. No idea how old it is but it must be 100 years or more. Tomorrow I’ll show you a nice old set of pliers - with teeth! For making the right size hole in pocket watch hands.(round or square). I finally found a great old watch maker 4th generation who is teaching me all sorts of tricks including using my lathe to drill out and re pin balance staffs. My next visit we’re going to make one from scratch. At last somebody to lead me!He also let me have a few of his grandfathers tools this one , the pliers and a great full set of Lorch 8mm collets for my star. More to come when I get home cheers Jules P.S hope IBIS doesn’t mind me setting up and checking my tools on their work desk in the room…
